Every British queen named Jane has either been murdered, imprisoned, gone mad, died young, or been dethroned.
Our World is full of coincidences, and those coincidences are portrayed as bad omens by superstitious people: just like Friday the thirteenth is believed to be an evil day. Similarly, if a black cat crosses your path you will have bad luck for the rest of the day: or something equally ludicrous, like the seven years of bad luck you get when you break a mirror.

Scientists have disapproved these myths regarding them just as a coincidence. Among these coincidences, the name “Jane” also had a strange quirk attached to it. Every British queen named “Jane” has been murdered, imprisoned, gone mad, died young, or been dethroned making many historians consider that name “Jane” holds a bed omen for British queens.
Among many who met such horrible fates was Lady Jane Grey. She was also known as the `Nine days queen` because she remained on the throne for only nine days and then was executed by Mary and her supporters. Jane was first imprisoned facing the charges of treason but later Mary signed the orders of her execution. She was only 17 years old when she was executed.

Next in the line was Jane Seymour, the third wife of King Henry VIII: she died of postnatal complications. Jane Boleyn, who was not actually a queen but a Viscountess, was also executed because she was thought to be the accomplice of Queen Anne Boleyn. Before the execution she was imprisoned in a tower but was not tortured as she was an aristocrat.
These were just a few of the many “Jane’s” who had suffered similar misfortune. So in the end, we leave it for you to ponder about this particular myth. Fables, or legitimate veracity? You choose
