Lady Jane Grey: From Queen to Prisoner : Page 2

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

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.

Text With Image: "The lady prisoner in the suggestive little picture we have engraved is intended evidently to be Lady Jane Grey. It is, we think, surprising that incidents from Lady Jane’s career – whose life and death is one of the most romantic and touching in our history – are not more commonly chosen as themes by our painters..."

Title: Lady Jane Grey Before Queen Mary, Pleading for the Life of Her Husband, Lord Gilford Dudley
Medium: Info From Owner: The paint is very old and has been laid upon a chalky material which has been slurried and embedded upon a mesh like material.
School: Owner thinks it might be from the "Titian" School or Possibly a Flemish painting of the period.
Notes: This scene is fantasy as it never took place, as most historians believe Mary I never met with Jane after her imprisonment, but who knows it may have happened, but doubtful. It is very similar to an illustration by George Cruikshank entitled "Jane Imploring Mary To Spare Her Husband's Life." that appears in William Harrison Ainsworth's book "The Tower of London".

Notes: The scene looks like a woman about to be taken to her execution and the book only covers 3 women who were executed: Lady Jane Grey, Anne Boleyn and Anne Askew. It doesn't strike me as either of the Anne's but there is no clear label so I'm only saying it's possibly Jane.
