The Forgotten Tudor Queen - Part 1 | Lady Jane Grey

I never knew that Lady Jane Grey was married before she was Queen!

This series is literally the Game of Thrones. Superb!

❤❤❤

She was the sheldon of tudor times.

In 1986 Paramount Pictures made "Lady Jane" starring Helena Bonham Carter, Cary Elwes, John Wood, and Patrick Stewart. Although it was romanticized, it was still a decent film in chronicling the political intrigue behind Lady Jane's ascension to the throne. Poor child, she was exploited so badly.

All women back then were pawns of their families. Being related to the monarch immediately puts them at risk. She most likely felt it was her duty to promote the interests of her family. She had no choice but to go along with her family’s ambitions.

I love this so much. Thank you for the wonderful videos. As a teen I found a book on Lady Jane Grey and it wasn't very big either but older. It hadn't been checked out of the library since the 70s and this was in 1999! So....I kinda borrowed it. This was a University library and I wasn't in college obviously so I would smuggle books out and back in. But 2 books I kept or just never returned were lady Jane Grey and The Yearling ...which the second book is quite big in comparison! I just love hearing about her in-depth. She is nucb smarter than history originally made her out to be and tried her best to fulfill the role of queen she likely didn't want and in such a short time. She wasn't the submissive girl pawn they wanted her to be. I've read that this is due to her upbringing around other strong Tudor women like Katherine Parr.

I still think Jane was used as a pawn so as to keep her cousin Mary off the throne so the state religion would not revert to Roman Catholic. Her parents only cared about themselves and not their daughters. Did Jane have ambitions to take the crown from her cousin Mary? Probably not if it were not for Edward VI's revised will. I think it is a shame that her parents, the Duke of Northumberland and her parents treated her so abusively and forced her to take the throne away from her cousin Mary.

She was as intelligent as Elizabeth! Roger Askim (spellg) tutored Elizabeth, as well, and obviously a very good educator! Ok, now PT. 2! YEH or YAY! Either would do! 😁

I’m so happy to hear this perspective of Jane! I agree that women often got the short end of the stick, but I don’t like how they’re mostly portrayed as only being victims with none of their own thoughts or ambitions.

Frances “ How’s the leg, uncle Henry? That bad?”

And her father was not the first Duke of Suffolk🤦🏻‍♀️

Her mother was not the Duchess of Sussex!!

Lady Jane Grey??? Innocent?? Yes she was! What else, she was nothing but an innocent teenager! They forced her, pushed her, abused her and finally killed her!
