Lady Jane Grey: From Queen to Prisoner : Page 1

On July 19th, Lady Jane Grey's brief reign came to an end with Queen Mary taking back her throne. Jane was already in the Tower awaiting her coronation, but was then moved to the Gentlemen Goaler's Lodgings, where she was kept prisoner until her day of execution.

The following images represent Jane's arrest, her time spent in the tower, her trial and her interviews with Gardiner & Feckenham.

Note: As on the Execution Images page, the images of Jane giving her book to Sir John Gage maybe historically inaccurate, most books say she gave the book to Sir John Bridges.

Those that belong to My Collection will have in the text section of the image "My Collection" plus what info I know about the image.

Those that I've found in other resources, online, or items I was unable to get, will just have the info I have on it.
