Lady Jane Grey

The Life of Lady Jane Grey (Part Three)

March 18, 2018 by Rebecca Larson 1 Comment

We ended Part Two of the series with the death of Edward VI on the 6th of July 1553. In this, the final article in the series, we will observe the short reign (13 days, not 9) of Queen Jane and discuss her execution. If you’d prefer to listen to me discuss the topic you can do so here: Heir to the Throne On the 21st of June 1553, the Letters Patent was signed by 102 noblemen, London aldermen, bishops, archbishops and councillors – this was pretty much every [More]

The Life of Lady Jane Grey (Part Two)

March 6, 2018 by Rebecca Larson 2 Comments

We ended Part One with the execution of the man who Jane lived with for 18 months – she even considered him a father-figure, Thomas Seymour. In this article we'll look at her life after her wardship. In order to continue with the life of Lady Jane Grey we really need to look at the events occurring in England at the time, and delve a bit further into the relationship between Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset and John Dudley. To keep all these people straight while [More]

The Life of Lady Jane Grey (Part One)

February 18, 2018 by Rebecca Larson 3 Comments

In this series I have chosen to focus on the life of Lady Jane Grey. Recently I finished reading Crown of Blood by Nicola Tallis and The Sisters Who Would Be Queen by Leanda de Lisle, as well as referencing Eric Ives' biography on Jane. Along with my fascination of Thomas Seymour, Jane Grey's life nicely intertwined with that of his and is a fantastic story to share with all of you. Early Years As granddaughter of Mary Tudor, dowager queen of France and Duchess of [More]

The Many Faces of Lady Jane Grey

August 25, 2017 by Rebecca Larson 7 Comments

Lady Jane Grey was queen for only nine days yet many do not consider her queen because she did not have a coronation - however, Edward Plantagenet (son of Edward IV) was given the title of Edward V even though he did not have a coronation. So why don't we refer to Jane as Queen Jane I of England? Both monarchs "reigned" for a very short period of time before they died. Edward's death is a mystery while Jane's death was ordered by Queen Mary I after she had no choice but to [More]

The Relationship Between Mary and Elizabeth Tudor

July 10, 2017 by Rebecca Larson 4 Comments

Princess Mary Tudor was the apple of her father's eye for many years prior Anne Boleyn returning to England. Freshly back from her duties in France, Anne was unlike most women and Henry VIII noticed. We don't know the exact date that Henry noticed Anne but once he did it changed the course of English history. After Katherine of Aragon's last unsuccessful pregnancy Henry began to consider that he would never have a male heir. He believed the fact that he had married his [More]

Kept from the King

content/uploads/2017/02/Kept-from-the-King.jpg"> At some point, during Edward's last illness, Princess Elizabeth sent the King the following letter, however, John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland made sure the letter never reached her brother. This is noteworthy because it shows that Elizabeth had attempted to visit her brother, but had been stopped on her way there, and sent back: PRINCESS ELIZABETH TO KING EDWARD VI.
