Long ago, there was a TV show in the USA called "Queen for a Day." How about being Queen for nine days. The only catch is you loose your head - literally - at the end of the nine days of glory. Lady Jane Grey got caught up in dynastic turmoil in the middle 1500s, also meaning religious turmoil. At least she was beheaded in private. Her Wikipedia article is here.
