The Life and Death of Lady Jane Grey - England's Forgotten Queen - S01 EP01 - History Documentary

The words “fiercely Protestant” haven’t been uttered in a while…

England puts down their young girls and uses them as pawns to this day nothing has changed glad the US succeeded from them here we raise our girls properly

20 secs in "She was the FIRST WOMAN TO....." here we go again with feminist propaganda. Yes she was a woman. We never actually believed "the Queen" was going to be a man. Why do people do this ? Nobody clicking a doc on a queen expects it to be about a man. We all know its about a woman yet it has to be named specifically and probably mentioned at least 15 times more during the documentary. When we make a documentary on going to the moon, going the earth's depths or whatever achievement, do we keep stressing and repeating the event so everybody is sure it was done by a man and not a woman ?

Queen jane life was horrible, and what they did to her was horrible. May the "9 days queen." rest in peace. 🙏🙏🙏

This documentary gave me a whole lot of nothing

The Tudors are HiTHtorical THupahstaz

I've been searching for some time a docu about Lady Jane Grey where historian are being interviewed. Nothing interests me until YT algo shows this!

She was used and abandoned and murdered .

Catholic not Cathoelic

The did that poor gilr so wrong...

Ok.. No part 2 yet ?? The story ends right as the 2 are about to go head to head ? Or am I missing something ?

Here she is taking amazing decisions for her country and reign and here I am not being able to make a decision on which all snacks to buy🥲😞

A king's (or queen's) wishes did not hold the force of law usually. Henry went out of his way to make sure succession would be handled. Henry VIII had his Succession Act passed in Parliament that Edward and his heirs, then Mary and her heirs, then Elizabeth and her heirs were to be the line of succession. Edward's device was NOT passed in Parliament, therefore was not the law, so was an illegal action.

Elizabeth was fluent in French Latin Spanish Portuguese . She could write fluently in all the language's & translated all of them to english . Elizabeth was well educated way more than Lady Jane Grey .

Lol! Mary said bet!

This just goes to show what a monster Henry the VIII was. He messed up his kids so badly, they were legit conspiring against each other.
Edward tried to keep Mary off the thrown, and inherited his father's sexist views. Mary had Elizabeth imprisoned, and allegedly Elizabeth may have been involved in a plot against Mary.
It doesn't even sound like either sister got to see their brother before he died due to political drama that, imho, can be tied back to the type of environment Henry created

Was Edward poisoned? One may well wonder who would benefit from his death.

I’m actually related to Jane Grey. Her stepfather is my 100th or so great grandfather

Lucky im not born with blue blood.. it broke my heart for lady jane

There was only one consequence for being on the losing side in the Tudor era - a horrible death by execution. If you were lucky, and an aristocrat, it meant beheading. If you were a commoner found guilty of treason, it was to be "hung, drawn and quartered", arguably one of the most horrific death sentences in human history.

My mom used to call me Lady Jane if I was in trouble, precariously close to it or just generally getting too big for my britches.. I've never heard it used outside my mom and aunts using it. I never questioned it, thinking everyone was called that. My friends' parents never said that and that's when I beganto wonder about it on and off, for years. So I assume it comes from this Lady Jane Grey, a reference to her and telling me essentially to stay in my lane 😄

So if u marry a King during his throne period - your kids gonna b princess or prince
But if u marry a past ruler- your kids not gonna get a crown?

She was born with the golden spoon in her mouth 🥄

Ha! They made Mary hot. That's funny.

Gives one a headache and a stiff neck trying to follow these folks! Humans hmmm
Thanks Great Show; HI$tory

Sad story. 😔 Well presented thank you /\

I’m so glad that it didn’t take long for the greatest monarch England ever had… a WOMAN… to come to the throne. I can’t help but think it was a great way to revenge Queen Jane. Greatest monarchs ever in England… and UK… were women, Elizabeth 1, Victoria, Elizabeth II.

First Queen is a kid. Confused by being newly married, new to the crown, didn’t raised up ready to the crown or expecting it at least. Lost her life in unfair battle.

If Anglican religion also has saints like the Catholics, will Queen Jane Grey, first Queen of England, also be considered an Anglican saint?

Helen is one of my favorite historians.

the start whit the king kinda reminds me of that one barbie movie

This is really sad but.. why do I learn more on the internet then school? 💀

Thank you, I was enthralled by this story, poor girl of circumstance

They couldn't find one without a lisp to host, and narrate? It's very uneasy on the ears. One does hope that she's Spanish. Otherwise...

There was one potential male heir - Henry Stuart, grandson of Margaret Tudor by her second husband Archibald Douglas. However he was around 7, his parents were Catholic and Henry VIII's will had cut out Margaret's descendants. Ironically it was Henry Stuart's son James who would succeed Elizabeth.

Yes Lady Jane was forced into taking a queens role but let's not be naive. If we research further we'll find Lady Jane was no fool. She was highly educated for those times and knew exactly what she was doing. However, such betrayal I'm sure her youth never saw coming. Her own uncle...

I enjoy watching and listening to these reels. Question: the books they read from must not be original because they touch them with bare hands?

The Execution of Lady
Jane Grey
Painting by Paul Delaroche

This painting made me know her whole story.

Am I the only one that thinks the narrator could play Queen Mary? I find them strikingly similar

Seems a big issue here was that the council underestimated Jane, Mary and the people of England. So many issues could have been prevented if they hadn’t believed themselves the smartest people in the room

Didn't Henry VII have 4 children? Arther was first born then Henry. I realize he died at like 15 or something but he grew old enough to be married.....when she was drawing the family tree I was yelling.. you're forgetting someone!

A girl born in the height of children being used as game pieces for family gain. The more money they had the more likely the girls will be sold off to be used for Male empowerment and to die in child birth as they were not even done growing into adult bodies. Girls and women had to be very clever to survive this world of greedy and egocentric men. Let alone survive unscathed by vile untruths or physical violence

"England's first Queen was Lady Jane Grey"
Empress Matilda: "Oh come on."

Wait, so if Edward realized a woman HAD to take the throne, why didn't he change it so Elizabeth would, if he didn't want Mary taking it?

🤍

Lady Jane and her husband had the chance to save themselves, but people emersed in false religion are deluded beyond measure. Both apostate faiths were never the real reason anybody went to war, killed others or gave their lives.
These deaths were the result of the condemned couple's own ignorance and the evil of scheming men all jockeying for power.

Didn’t Henry VII have Henry and Arthur and their sister? Who is Mary?

Jane Grey was never a queen, so it’s inaccurate to say she was forgotten. She was a treasonous imposter.
