Jane Grey's married her off and then schemed for her to be made queen
As I understand it, it was Edward VI who wanted her to be queen to prevent Mary (Catholic) from becoming Queen.

My only connection to the Tudors comes from my 17xgreat grandfather, James IV of Scotland, who married one of Henry VII's daughters. I come from James' favourite mistress, Margaret Drummond.
I also have a link to the plantagenet King Edward I, or so these peerage websites show.
I have not fully developed this line so it could get more interesting.

Fascinating stuff, Windsor! I'd be doing some work on that line if it was me. A bit of blue blood, even if "wrong side of the blanket"!

Indeed.
The story goes that Margaret Drummond was poisoned to prevent James from marrying her. Or that they were secretly married and the marriage 'had to' end. No prizes for guessing who the accused were (the English). Just another nationalist sob story. It's more likely she died from food poisoning due to lack of hygiene.
Had they married I certainly wouldn't be here and nor would my half 14th Cousin 4 times removed (the Queen).
