Lady Jane
Jane Grey was crowned in 1553.
Her husband Guildford, and his father (Earl of Northumberland: John Dudley) were both executed in 1553; along with two of Guildford's brothers.
Jane was nearly pardoned but in the end, by 1554, it was all over bar the shouting.
Equally, Mary Tudor was crowned queen in 1553 having deposed Jane.
It was all about 1553.
It is, however, entirely possible that the blade was given a new hilt at Hounslow a century later.
ps
Mary made a 'Percy' Earl of Northumberland and also gave him Cumberland.
He was the one who contested Elizabeth's right to take copper from his land during the Battle of the Mines Royal. Eventually, Lizzy chopped his head off.
