Dr Stephan Edwards – Translation of a primary source covering Jane’s reign

Dr Stephan Edwards (Some Grey Matter) has just completed a transcription and translation of ‘Giulio Raviglio Rosso’s Historia delle cose occorse nel regno d’Inghilterra dopo la morte di Odoardo VI’ (History of the things that occurred in the realm of England, in relation to the Duke of Northumberland after the death of Edward VI).

Edwards writes that:

‘The narrative content of the Historia begins with the final illness of King Edward VI, proceeds through his death and the subsequent abortive reign of Queen Jane, then follows with detailed descriptions of Queen Mary’s entrance into London and her subsequent coronation. The report discusses the betrothal late in 1553 of Queen Mary to Philip, Prince of Asturias and son of the King of Spain and Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. It then offers an account of the rebellions in early 1554 of Sir Thomas Wyatt and of Henry Grey, Duke of Suffolk, both in reaction to that betrothal. The Historia ends with a very detailed, seemingly-eyewitness, narrative of the wedding ceremony itself, held in the city of Winchester and attended by groups of ambassadors from numerous rival countries.’
