	England Under The Tudors: Lady Jane Grey (1537-1554)
		LADY JANE GREY, a lady remarkable no less for her accomplishments than for her misfortunes, was the great-granddaughter of Henry VII of England.
		Lady Jane, the subject of this article, was the eldest of three whom the Marquess had by Lady Frances.
		Edward VI died on the 6th July 1553, and it was announced to Lady Jane that she was Queen.

	BBC - h2g2 - 'The Execution of Lady Jane Grey' by Paul Delaroche - A478118
		Painted in 1833, the portrait depicts the execution of the young Jane Grey (1537 - 54) who was nominated by her cousin Edward VI to be England's next Protestant monarch.
		The scene of the execution was painted in 1833 and the reign of Charles X during France's restoration.
		It is true that Lady Jane was one of the five women executed in the Tower of London but, like her predecessors, she was executed in the open air, in the semi-private grounds outside St Peter ad Vincula Chapel in the Tower's grounds.

	Untitled Document
		Jane was not, prior to June 1553, herself an heir to the throne of England, and thus would have had no right to the French heraldic emblems.
		Indeed, the sitter in the Jane Grey/Katherine Parr portrait in the National Portrait Gallery (NPG 4451) holds a pink, one reason why that painting was formerly identified as Jane Grey.
		The NPG believes the portrait does, in fact, depict Lady Jane Grey, though they also note that it was not painted until at least forty years after her death, perhaps as a copy of a lost original.

	Execution of Jane Grey
		Jane’s father-in-law, John Dudley, the duke of Northumberland, had persuaded the dying Edward that his cousin Jane, a Protestant, should be chosen the royal successor over his half-sister Mary, a Catholic.
		On 13 November 1553, Jane and her husband, Guildford Dudley, were likewise found guilty of treason and sentenced to death, but because of their youth and relative innocence, Mary did not carry out the death sentences.
		On the morning of 12 February, Jane watched her husband being carried away to execution from the window of her cell in the Tower of London, and approximately two hours later, was executed herself.

		Jane’s family interactions were tense, and she may have resisted her marriage to Guildford Dudley.
		My doctoral dissertation was entitled 'Jane the Quene': A New Consideration of Lady Jane Grey, England's Nine-Days Queen, in which I examined the life of Lady Jane Grey in an effort to understand her actions during her brief reign as Queen of England in July 1553.
		Although Jane was, in a broader Tudor context, unusually well educated, her classical education resembled that of a handful of aristocratic girls in her generation, but its content led her to emphasize the role of political leadership.

		The vivid image he portrays in his painting conveys how much the story of Lady Jane Grey captivated him then and is why his portrayal of her death captivates viewers today.
		Upon researching Grey, I was astonished to learn of the events that would ultimately lead Jane Grey to her untimely demise.
		It is interesting to note Jane’s reliance on the Lieutenant for guidance to the cutting block, as it directly resembles the blinded and controlled state in which she was made to live throughout her young life and even still as she prepares to enter death.

	Lady Jane Grey Reference Guide
		(from Lady Jane Grey and the House of Suffolk by Alison Plowden)
		Jane was a ‘victim of court circumstance’ and the only stand she took during her reign, was not allowing Guildford Dudley to be King.
		Lady Jane has been turned into a ‘tragic heroine.’ Delaroche’s painting shows her as the ‘epitome of victim hood,’ and Antonio Barzaghi-Cattaneo’s as an image of a helpless victim.

		The family has always believed the painting is of Lady Jane - the uncrowned queen of England for nine days in 1553 before being deposed and executed at 16 by Mary I - and has been trying to convince the National Portrait Gallery to accept its authenticity since 1923.
		Part of the research process was to try to eliminate other "Lady Jaynes" who could have been commemorated thus in the 1590s, wearing the costume of 50 years earlier.
