Lady Jane Grey: Her Life & Times - Page 3a

There Will Not Be An Update Of The Website Until Feb 12, 2009
I Do Not Have Enough Images For A Worthwhile Update....Sorry!

Lady Jane Grey was born between spring and Oct 1537 at her family home of Bradgate Park. Her father was Henry Grey, the marquess of Dorset and his marchioness Frances Brandon. Frances was the daughter of Mary Rose Tudor, making her the granddaugther of Henry VII and the niece of Henry VIII, this would make Lady Jane Henry VIII's great-niece.

Answer: An avenging monk wanted to scare the Tudor Lady away from the old building. A bloodstained axe would be enough to scare the spots off of a giraffe, but Lady Jane Grey didn't run. The really strange thing is that just a few months later Lady Jane was beheaded with an axe, stained with the blood of her husband. Creepy, eh?

Notes: Mr. Edwards is an historian on Jane, who considers it "really tacky" and that "It is too tall, the hair is too dark, and the costume is all wrong, but it serves a purpose I suppose."
