‘ Professor Suzannah Lipscomb explores the tragic story of Lady Jane Grey, the brilliant, devout teenager, who was proclaimed queen of England against her will, reigned for less than two weeks, and was executed before her 17th birthday.
Drawing on insights from her new two-part History Hit documentary series, Suzannah is joined by Professor Anna Whitelock, Dr Joanne Paul, Verity Babbs, and Dr Nicola Tallis to uncover the story of a young girl caught in the storm of Tudor power.’
Not Just the Tudors – Lady Jane Grey.
HistoryHit TV has a new 2 part series about Lady Jane.
Part One of ‘Queen Jane: The Extraordinary Life of Lady Jane Grey’ is available to view now, with Part Two available on 23rd April.
You can read more about the programme in this article by Amy Irvine.
The Myth of the ‘Tragic Victim’: Reclaiming Queen Jane
A very useful addition to any Tudor bookshelves!
The dictionary covers events (such as the Field of the Cloth of Gold, the Evil May Day & Dissolution of the Monasteries), people (from the Tudor monarchs to Sir William Butts and Will Somers), as well as wars, places and religion.
Each entry’s text highlights other featured topics, making it easy to connect various subjects.
Of course, I was happy to see that Lady Jane Grey had her own entry. In Jane’s case the featured topics include the Tower of London, Wyatt’s Rebellion, humanist education and John Dudley, to name a few.
Thank you to Pen and Sword and Net Galley for my review copy
