	Lady Jane Grey - LoveToKnow 1911
		LADY JANE GREY (1537-1554), a lady remarkable no less for her accomplishments than for her misfortunes, was the great-granddaughter of Henry VII.
		The duke of Suffolk and Lady Jane were also committed to the Tower; but the former, by the influence of his duchess, procured a pardon.
		On hearing that they were to die, Lady Jane declined a parting interview with her husband lest it should increase their pain, and prepared to meet her fate with Christian fortitude.

	Lady Jane Grey
		Jane was incredibly intelligent, and spent most of her life in scholarly pursuits.

		Jane's execution by Mary was nearly a foregone conclusion, but not because Mary was dying for some for hot codpiece action.
