Description
“Good people, I am come hither to die, and by a law I am condemned to the same.” These were the words uttered by the seventeen-year-old Lady Jane Grey as she stood on the scaffold awaiting death on a cold February morning in 1554. Forced onto the throne, Queen Jane reigned for just thirteen tumultuous days before being imprisoned, condemned for high treason and executed. In this dramatic retelling, historian and researcher Nicola Tallis explores a range of evidence that had never before been used, sweeping away the many myths and reveal the moving, human story of an extraordinarily intelligent, independent and courageous young woman.
