EDITORS COMMENTS
Lady Jane Grey: The Nine Days Queen of England (1537-1554) This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Lady Jane Grey, the short-lived queen of England, who reigned for just nine days in 1553. Born in 1537, Jane was the granddaughter of King Henry VIII's sister, Mary Tudor, and the niece of Queen Mary I. When Mary died in childbirth, Jane was unexpectedly placed on the throne, a move orchestrated by her father-in-law, the Duke of Northumberland, who hoped to bypass the claims of Mary's half-sister, Elizabeth Tudor. Jane's reign was fraught with danger from the start. She was crowned in London on July 19, 1553, but her claim to the throne was not universally accepted. Many in England still supported Mary's claim, and within days, a rebellion led by Lady Jane's own cousin, John Dudley, Earl of Warwick, forced her to abdicate. Jane and her husband, Guildford Dudley, were imprisoned in the Tower of London, and on February 12, 1554, they were tried for treason and found guilty. Jane was beheaded on the same day, and Guildford was executed the following day. This portrait, which dates from the late 16th or early 17th century, is a poignant reminder of Jane's brief reign and tragic end. The young queen is depicted in regal attire, wearing a richly embroidered gown and a jeweled crown. Her expression is calm and resolute, betraying no hint of the turmoil that surrounded her during her brief time on the throne. Despite her short reign, Lady Jane Grey remains an intriguing and fascinating figure in English history, a symbol of the complex and often chaotic politics of the Tudor period.
