lady jane grey a tudor mystery
lady jane grey is one of the most elusive and tragic characters in english history . p in july 1553 the death of the childless edward vi threw the tudor dynasty into crisis . on edwards instructions his cousin jane grey was proclaimed queen only to be ousted 13 days later by his illegitimate half sister mary and later beheaded . in this radical reassessment eric ives rejects traditional portraits of jane both as hapless victim of political intrigue or protestant martyr . instead he presents her as an accomplished young woman with a fierce personal integrity . the result is a compelling dissection by a master historian and storyteller of one of historys most shocking injustices .
