The Tragedy of Lady Jane Grey: Facial Re-creations & History Documentary
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 07. 2024
- Lady Jane Grey is a figure I’ve touched on before, and I made a modern version of her last year - you can check out that version on the Instagram account. Lady Jane Grey was the unlikely candidate for the throne when King Edward VI named her his heir upon his death in 1553. This left Jane in an incredibly dangerous position. Jane was tragically executed by her cousin Mary I after Mary came to claim the throne, having only reigned for 9 days as Queen of England. I wanted to recreate her also from the Streatham portrait, which is said to be the closest possible link to Jane. It’s still disputed as a true likeness of the Nine Day Queen, but is generally accepted as a somewhat poor copy of a lost original. It dates from around 40 years after Jane’s death, and includes a “Lady Jayne” description, as well as clothing that matches Jane’s era. We hope you enjoy!

This one is so incredibly sad. This young girl never got a break. She deserved none of it.
she was no pawn but she was a mrtyr read the sisters who would be queen mary katherine and lady jane grey
I red her story in the novel by Philippa Gregory "reines de sang" (don't remember the name in English) it is my favourite among all her other novels about the Tudors ... it made me cry !
Philippa Gregory *fictionalizes* a lot of what she is writing and puts her own spin on something she knows nothing about.
@@wezmarauder2754 yes, may be, but her novels are fantastic ... and what else do we expect from a novel ?
I think that lady Janes execution is one of the saddest pages of English history as she truly was a victim of a situation she didn't create.
This is so wild because some of my mom's relatives have links back to her. The IRONY is that your depiction of Lady Jane looks EXACTLY like my mom when she was younger! So amazing, great job! I was legit blown away lol now I gotta show my mom
Your mom was a cute girl.
And I bet a beautiful woman.
That's fantastic they can recreate from paintings. A recreation was done on how Vlad III the Impaler looked like. That was my grandfather to the last. We're related (on the illegitimate side) to Vlad. His father Vlad II liked women, lots of women, all women, all ages, especially Romani women. That's where our line comes in.

I too am a descendent of the royal family. She looks a bit like me too.
I read a detailed novel about Lady Jane Grey years ago - such a tragic figure, used as a puppet by everyone around her. Thank you for bringing her to life so beautifully.
Title of book, please.
Sounds like a great book! I wish they were more pro-life in those days 🤔😔
this is not true jane was no pawn she was a martyr tho
was it Innocent Traitor by Alison Weir?
@@acryliceel I’m currently reading this book.
Have to admit I nearly cried when I saw the recreation as you can just see how young she was, and you captured that brilliantly. Thanks for bringing this poor young woman to life so beautifully and poignantly!
Vgh
I totally cried 😭. It was beautiful
Me too!
I lost it when she smiled, she probably didn't much in life.
They killed a girl for power. How sad.
Her story always makes me tear up. She didn’t deserve and even said she didn’t want it. I pray she’s resting easy.
I love how gently or admiringly you described Lady Janes life. You brought her story to focus with more respect than she had while living. Your art was beautiful also. Great work!
Thank you so much ❤️
I wept when you revealed her face. You did her such justice. It's like her soul was shining through. She looks so pure. Rest in the eternal peace of our Heavenly Father, Lady Jane.
You’d have to have an unbelievable passion for this, because the hours on research and work bringing these people back to life has to be massive. Thank you for sharing your work with us. You make history more realistic and way more interesting! 🤗 💜
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. It’s a lot of work but luckily things don’t feel like work when you really love what you are doing ♥️
@@RoyaltyNowStudios .....
This is such a sad case. Her. Ann Boylen,Ann Neville, and Margaret de le Poole were all sad cases from those times as was Mary Queen of Scots. All these women with the exception of Ann Neville were beheaded. Ann Neville was a pawn because of her father.
I'm truly enjoying this channel I so wish I lived where I had access to all kinds of records.
ou can access information via e- mail. My parents did a geneaological european 6week trip that I read lots of tour books about the countries they'd be going to. Wow what a difference between tour books. So with those dates was able to contact cities, counties, etc. via e-mail I listed my e-mail address as well as snail mail, being 2003, plus my phone number. I was amazed at how many places called me, on the phone, to give info then sent snail mail pakages also. I was able in England and Scotland to have direct info to both my Mom & Dad that was pulled in their genealogical
parts of the county offices.
On my Dad was able to have docs from the mid 1600's pulled. The brothers kept going back & forth like the QEll.
So you'd be best to do some preliminary genealogy here and go thru info at Salt Lake City, Mormon church has extensive genealogy information from all over the world.
Mary should have given her a pardon and house arrest.

For anyone interested there is a 1986 motion picture based on Lady Jane Grey, called 'Lady Jane', that stars a then 20-year-old Helena Bonham Carter. It's a good film.
Such a good movie. I stumbled upon it in my younger years and her story has haunted me ever since.
@@nicolelawrence5177 the story u no aint true she was no victim but a martyr
@@joshuaschannel3473 She was a victim and a martyr.
@@Emsev100 how do you know>? were you there? did you know her?
@@joshuaschannel3473 how do you know she was not a victim? Were YOU there?
My first introduction to the courageous Lady Jane was a movie called Lady Jane (1986), starring Helena Bonham Carter and Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride), who I thought did a good job representing Lady Jane’s courage amidst so much pressure from everyone. Thank you for taking the time to share her story.
Thank you so much for the depiction you have created of such a sweet, innocent young woman. She was sadly just a child and really did not deserve such a cruel end to her life during the Tudor reign. Your attention to detail is incredible down to the music used for the background of the video.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
15 wasn't a child in those times. Extended childhoods didn't occur until Victorian times. Still so young tho.
@@merseltzer she was a child
Absolutely astounding work. I taught History for 27 years in 3 countries. I wish I could have had your videos. Well done.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Correction: execution date was February 12, not February 11! I’m so sorry

Its ok ♡
Yes indeed the 12th. There is more to be known of her. It takes a bit of digging. But being in England and having access to some source material at the British Library was much to my advantage. Starkey is very persuasive in his arguments, but, in my opinion, not altogether correct.
There is a reported picture of "Jane" at Sion House. Discovery after some renovations. It is small though somewhat extraordinary as it isn't too complimentary. Having read so many source and translated materials, the various descriptions of Jane vary somewhat. But by these one can bring a full picture to mind.
Best wishes.

Yet another life story exemplifying how women (and in many cases, such as this one, girls) were used as pawns in the games of powerful men. Of all of the executions that took place throughout the Tudor reign, hers is the most disgraceful and tragic. Once again, you’ve done a beautiful job telling her story and recreating her image.
This is such a tragic story. You did a great job at recreating her likeness. I always learn so much by watching your videos. Thank you
Thank you! I agree, it was just so sad. Literally everyone moved to put her onto their throne for their own advantage and then completely abandoned her.
what a lovely young woman. it is indeed tragic that she was cut down as she was.
a passing note is that your version of her reminds me of a younger cousin of mine... especially in the smile.
anyway, thank you for bringing history back to life so others can grow to love learning about it too.
Thank you so much for this brilliant video. Poor Jane didn't even want to be Queen and it's heartbreaking the fate that she suffered as a result. Love your research and your realistic portrait of how she may have looked in real life. She was quite pretty. Seems like the Tudors had red hair and Catherine of Aragon had auburn hair as well. A mark of royalty, perhaps?
the story u no aint true she was no victim but a martyr
I love the photoshops, very much, but man, the history lesson is absolutely fantastic. I love them all, but this one was a wild ride. That poor child!
She was considered very good looking and called the Queen of Hearts...very scholarly and smart at books. She did not want her political marriage and may have been pregnant as well. I think the painting looks like hack art but you are great with your skills and love your channel....thanks so much.
I am so happy you chose Lady Jane Grey! I have been fascinated with her real story ever since reading the historical fantasy/comedy My Lady Jane. ❤
@Amanda Dorner I think I'd be interested in reading this book also, but I was unable to find a book that fits your description listed on GoodReads. Who is the author, please? **EDIT: I found it! by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, Jodi Meadows
@@Meadowlark73 Hope you enjoy it! ❤
One of my friends descends from Katherine Grey (Jane`s sister). Unfortunately, because of what occurred to Jane, Katherine was the next threat to the throne, and she and her husband were imprisoned. The Gaol guards allowed Katherine and Seymour to be together and their two sons were born. However, Katherine`s health deteriorated and she died in her late 20s of consumption.
elizabeth 1 locked catherine up and she died from starvation
@@joshuaschannel3473 This is true.
As I have read much of Katherine's plight, I am under the distinct impression she was incarcerated for marrying a nobleman without gaining permission from Queen Elizabeth 1st.
@@freyatilly Absolutely. Naturally Elizabeth I was threatened by the Grey family, so after executing Lady Jane Grey, Catherine was another threat.
@@joshuaschannel3473 No, she died of consumption.
Lady Jane Grey is one of my favorite historical figures. So, of course when I saw this recreation of her, I had to watch the video. You took an awful portrait done from someone’s memory and created a beautiful recreation. Thanks!
This was an incredibly well written and well done history video! I am always amazed and how detailed the end product of your recreations turn out! Thank u for your hard work! 🙏🏼
I just came across your channel and I am amazed by your historical journalism and storytelling. All important information is collected in a very understandable way and the face work you do is stunning!
I absolutely love this. Her story is so heart breaking 😢 your recreation absolutely brought that to life thank you!
Lady Jane's life was so short yet fascinating to learn about- your recreations captured her youth brilliantly.
such a tragic story of a true innocent, amazing job at research and interpretation of appearance. always hitting my heart strings with your work!
It is a very sad tragedy. The recreation was done so beautifully. Thank you!
Great post. It was fascinating seeing her brought to life. You are extremely talented. Thanks!
You were born to do these recreations. It brings these people to life.
You’ve really brought her back to life. ! Very tragic story. Really good work. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Lady Jane has always intrigued me so I had tears in my eyes when her recreation appeared… Your work is truly amazing!!!!!!! Thank you for bringing her to life, it’s a way to pay tribute to her ❤🙏🏼
You keep taking my breath away as the pictures develop.
Wow! What an exceptional recreation! Just amazing. I absolutely love your content. Thank you for bringing history back to life ❤
I am OBSESSED with your videos/channel. Everything is so well researched and the recreations are stunning.
The way that you were able to capture every detail of her life, her
era, & the detailing of her features are so extraordinary. There are so much history lost during that time especially in today's world & you always bring it back to life through news it's absolutely captivating! For your next video can you do Queen Fu Hao & King Wuding they were from the dayishang dynasty capital around 1200 BCE if i'm not mistaken.
Her story is so sad. Poor thing. It's beautiful to see how she might have looked. Her smile lit up her face 🙂. How wonderful that after her short and tragic life she is still remembered and talked about. Thank you for lovely work.
Hands down my favorite YT channel. I love your work. A wonderful break from the nutty news. Thank you.
One of the best recreation. Great job! Feel so sorry for her, died so young. Certainly she didn't deserve her fate.
WOW! This really moved me. She was SO young. Thank you for noticing and recreating her.
the story u no aint true she was no victim but a martyr
I 1st learned of the Lady Jane story watching the 80s movie on her life starring Helen Bonham Carter as Jane
I just wanted to say how much I love your channel and I am truly enjoying it !!
It is so sobering to realize how young she was..and that she met her fate with such...grace.
Such a tragic story for this young lady. The fact that she was not a true usurper and wanted nothing to do with the crown is even more heartbreaking. The whispers in the ears of all close to the throne were always drowning in layers of paranoia and greed.
Your recreations are beautiful, and so realistic!
Her life story is so sad but i think if she sees your work definetly she'll smile and say ...Thank you for your wonderful re-creation.
I love your channel and the content is very interesting and superbly presented , and your re creations of the subjects are out of this world .
I've always had a great interest in how people from the past would accurately look like today .
Brilliant , keep up the good work .
you have so much warmth for the subjects of your videos.. i really love that
A video about Lady Jane brought me here. Thank you for depicting her so brilliantly. You just got a fan from Malaysia😊
This is my request, thank you for this amazing video. She was so beautiful
I love how you give them such humanity. They become real through your eyes, and your depth of knowledge is truly wonderful.
One of the key points in these depictions is the smile you attribute to the various subjects. Most had events in their lives where no smiles were present, thanks.
I gotta tell you. I found you first a few years ago & was fascinated. Then after having watched a few dozen of yr recreations, I ran across someone else doing these images. Just assumed you were all alike, meaning those who have these tools to work with images from the past on their computers. Oh how wrong I was!! Nothing the same at all. You know the History behind the person & then explain where you got yr inspiration as well. Just imo, a very well thought out reasoning & story telling top notch skill that no one tops! I mean just a History channel worthy expertise, next level stuff! Thank you, genuinely Thank you for yr gift & sharing it with us! God bless yr gifting! 😊👍
All I can say is WOW!!! Your work is beyond awesome.
Thank you for honoring Jane so beautifully and telling what we know of her tragic story.
The history is fascinating.
I love the recreations that you do! ❤️
Wow!!!! What an awesome channel you have! I absolutely love history and royalty and if I could time travel to actually see these individuals I would! Now I don't have to!! Keep up the wonderful work! Just LOVE it!!!
I love your videos and your work! They are enjoyable and educational. I would like to recommend, if possible, the recreation of Hypatia of Alexandria. She is a very interesting historical character.
Love your work, Creation and the history of these famous people of the past, beautifully presented thank you. ❤
Beautiful! Love, Love, Love your recreations!
Thank you for doing this. I commented after the 6 wives of Henry VIII, that Lady Jane would be very interesting and here she is. Beautifully done!
Sad story but a beautiful re-creation... especially the smile. I feel like she would love it!
I truly enjoy your mastery. Thank you for your time and effort.
Love these, the work you do is outstanding. But they always feel me with a sense of sadness when i contemplate how few of us are ever remembered after we pass, in all of human history only a small few out of the billions who have lived are ever remembered.
Thank you! Loved your video! Your recreation was so much better than the original portrait!
Hello RNS! What a lovely young woman your recreation shows. Looking at her, there seems to be similarities between her and other Tudors, namely, Elizabeth I. I do think that Edward really resembled his mother, Jane Seymour. I haven't figured out Mary Tudor yet. She doesn't look like either one of her parents per the portraits available. She might be a throwback to one of her ancestors on either side of the family. I admire your work when I watch your videos. Thank you for all that you research and presenting what historical figure may have looked like. Take care!

Beautifully rendered. That poor child. Destiny is sometimes unkind, but fate can be downright cruel.
I remember discovering Lady Jane Grey in middle school when I came across a book called the Nine Days Queen and then later another one called Innocent Traitor (highly recommend). I’ve always felt so sorry for her and admired how she devoted and kind she was. It feels surreal and exciting to see such a striking recreation of how she might have looked. Thank you so much for covering her!
Great video and information, thanks for your time and effort.
I've enjoyed all your videos, this was wonderful. She was such a tragic figure both her and her husband.
Thank you for such a wonderful video! I've been interested in Lady Jane Grey since I saw the 1986 film "Lady Jane" starring Helena Bonham Carter and Cary Elwes. I think I read a biography of Lady Jane back in the 1990's but to be honest I don't remember very much about it. I very much enjoyed all the information you gave in this video and your recreation of her.
Me too
I just found this and it is so fascinating! Thank you for sharing.
I watch all your videos they're informative and I love how you recreate the portraits to give a sense who they are
This Is Fascinating! You Rock!🤘❤️⚜️
This made me tear up as she was my distant grandmother. Wow! Thank you! ❤
Amazing talent you have!! I appreciate it very much!
u are work is amazing thankyou for these videos, i love them u deserve a million followers
Great job on recreating her face! Still very close to the portrait, too!
Thanks for making this video Lady Jne grey will always be my favorite royal of all history
Your work is nothing short of beautiful.
I am loving your videos! Thank you!
I love to listen to your comments... your videos are perfect ... sooo amazingly well done... your videos are really interesting...I am watching looping your videos... Thank You....
Thank you for sharing this with us 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you for a wonderful video. I love your recreations
Your talent is amazing. And your Passion shows through. Thank you again for our history.
Thank you so much. I really do have so much passion for each subject. I loved Jane and felt a lot of empathy for her.
Beautiful especially when you put smiles on the images
I love all your recreations and history on all these that you do! I would really love to see a recreation on Henry the 8th!
Beautiful portrait. Such a sad & tragic story.
Beautiful recreation of Jane, she is gorgeous. Well done.
Thank you for such interesting work! I still love the film Lady Jane, which featured a young Helena Bonham Carter as the young but tough-minded Jane, Cary Elwes as Dudley (as they become aware that they are doomed their love for each other becomes true and heartbreaking), and a bunch of the best English actors. It also looks great…
Amazing job on her recreation . Such a sad life. They were so horrible back then.
Thank you for adding captions from all of us who are Deaf or hard of heading, who love Tudor history.
wonderfull story and voice over. great work.
Thank You! I So Love Your Shows. I Have Learned So Much And At The End I Feel Like They Are Closer . I Know In Some Way They Thank You For Bring There Life TO Life. I So Hope You Feel Very Proud Of All You Guys Do. I Know I Am. Sincerely
Thank you for this information, great job.
Another very good re-creation and history lesson.Thank you
I love your videos. Great job!
This is so amazing seeing them come to life. Jane Grey wasn't my direct ancestor but Edith "Ida" de Grey was. Maybe you can make her come to life? That would be amazing. ❤
Nicely done of the contemporary picture.
