To deal with your main question. There was a period of 85 years between the accession of James I in 1603 until the Glorious Revolution of 1688. There had been fundamental swings in government in those years which included the Civil Wars and the Commonwealth, so your question needs a book to answer it, rather than this board.

Lady Jane Grey - Yes, she was

England under Elizabeth I - I don't propose to do all your project, and again this is a large subject, so I suggest you do some reading and research of your own.

Feudalism - wasn't necessarily ended by trade and money. As much as anything, certainly in England, it was ended by the Black Death. This cuased so many deaths that there just weren't the bodies to provide the manorial services due under feudalism and people found that they were able to sell their labour for wages. I also think you are wrong to describe feudalism as 'simple' It was quite an elaborate system with all the cross rights and obligations between people from the monarch down to the humblest serf.

PS I've just seen the 1st answer and the reference to 'The Great Chain of Being' I have no idea what that means, and I have never seen the expression used before in a lifetime of reading British/English History.

the question you asked is quite broad, so it looks like you have a huge task give to you by your teacher. There are books hundreds of pages long that document exactly the topics you ask about, so I'll briefly outline what I can remember of your first question.

It goes:
James I (IV of Scotland)
Charles I
Interregnum (Cromwell and Parliament)
Charles II
James II ( I think I'm off on this one)
Parliament (very briefly)
William of Orange and Mary

The big thing you'll want to remember is that this chain of events set a precedent that directly challenged the notion of the Great Chain of Being. If you take the time to understand how each stage of the change of rulership was an important step in how people understood the Great Chain of Being, you'll be good to go.
