Literature | Jane A Genoese halfpenny, a corruption of Januensis or Genoensis. "Because I could not give her many a jane." Spenser: Fuërie Queene, book iii. canto vii. 58. Jane. A most ill-starred name for rulers. To give a few examples: Lady Jane Grey, beheaded by Mary for treason; Jane Seymour; Jane or Joan Beaufort, wife or James I. of Scotland, who was infamously and savagely murdered; Jane of Burgundy, wife of Philippe le Long, who imprisoned her for adultery in 1314; Jane of Flanders, who was in ceaseless war with Jane of Penthièvre after the captivity of their husbands. This contest is known in history as "the wars of the two Janes" (fourteenth century). Jane of France (de Valois), wife of Louis XII., who repudiated her for being ugly; Jane d' Albret, mother of Henri IV. of France. Being invited to Paris to attend the espousals of her son with Margaret de Valois, she was poisoned by Catharine de' Medicis (1572); Jane, Countess of Hainault, daughter of Baldwin, and wife of Fernand of Portugal, who was made prisoner at the battle of Bouvines in 1214. She refused to ransom him, and is thought to have poisoned her father; Jane Henriquez, wife of John II. of Navarre, stirred up war between her husband and his son Carlos by a former marriage, and ultimately made away with the young prince, a proceeding which caused a revolt of the Catalonians (1462); Jane the Imbecile of Castile, who lost her reason from grief at the neglect of her husband, Philip the Handsome, Archduke of Austria; Jane I. of Naples married Andrew of Hungary, whom she caused to be murdered, and then married the assassin. Her reign was most disastrous. La Harpe has a tragedy entitled Jeanne de Naples; Jane II. of Naples, a woman of most scandalous character, guilty of every sort of wantonness. She married James, Count of March, who put to death her lovers and imprisoned Jane for two years. At her release James fled to France, when Jane had a liaison with Caraccioli, whom she murdered. Joan, the pope, if indeed such a person ever existed. Jeanne la Pucelle [Joan of Arc] cannot be called a ruler, but her lot was not more happy; etc. etc. (See John Two.).

Jane Stanford (August 25, 1828-February 28, 1905), was the wife of Leland Stanford and a cofounder of Stanford University.Born Jane Eliza Lathrop in Albany, New York, she married Leland Stanford on Sept. 30, 1850.
Upon the death of their only son, Leland Stanford Jr., Leland Sr. turned to his wife Jane and said, famously, "The Children of California shall be our children." They founded Stanford University in his honor. After Leland's death, Jane took control of the University, and it was at Jane Stanford's direction that Stanford University gained an early focus on the arts.
Research has recently unearthed the fact that Jane Stanford was murdered with strychnine in Hawaii while recovering from a previous murder attempt in California. She is buried at the Stanford family mausoleum on the Stanford campus.

Lady Jane Grey (October 12?, 1537 - February 12, 1554) is not normally counted in the list of British monarchs, but she was, technically, Queen of England for a few days in 1553, and is sometimes known as "The Nine Days' Queen" (July 10 - July 19, 1553) or, alternatively, "The Thirteen Days' Queen" (July 6 - July 19, 1553)—owing to uncertainty as to when she actually succeeded to the throne and was deposed.The day of her predecessor's death (July 6) and that of her official proclamation as Queen (July 10) have both been considered the beginning of her short reign.
Lady Jane Grey
claimant to the thrones of England, Ireland and FranceJane was born in October 1537, the eldest daughter of Henry Grey, Marquess of Dorset. October 12 has been suggested as a date of birth. Her claim to the throne was through her mother, Frances Brandon who was the daughter of Mary Tudor, a daughter of King Henry VII of England, and her second husband, Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. Frances was still living but renounced her claim on the throne in favour of her daughter. The question of the succession had arisen as a result of the religious unrest that had prevailed during the reign of King Henry VIII of England. When Henry's heir, Edward VI, died at an early age, the next in line to the throne was his sister, Mary. However, Mary was Roman Catholic and looked set to overturn the religious reforms of her brother's short reign. Fearing religious intolerance, a faction led by the Duke of Northumberland sought a Protestant heir, and fastened on Jane, who had been married off to Northumberland's son, Guilford Dudley, during 1553.
Mary proved to have more popular support than Jane, partly because of the continuing sympathy for the treatment her mother, Catherine of Aragon, had received at the hands of Henry VIII. After Jane was deposed, there seemed some likelihood that her life would be spared by Mary, who had now taken the throne as Mary I. She sent John de Feckenham to Lady Jane, in an attempt to convert her to Catholicism. However, Mary planned a marital alliance with Spain, and the Spaniards insisted on Jane's execution, which took place on February 12, 1554.
