I always feel sorry for her whenever I read about her.
They left out some things. Mary didn’t want to be killed. She knew that Jane was a pawn and initially had imprisoned. Lady Jane Grey's father started a rebellion in her name which sealed her fate.
If I'm not mistaken wasn't Jane Grey executed until about a year after Mary took her throne back (whereas others who installed her were executed pretty quickly)? And even then if I recall correctly it was a change in circumstances in which Mary felt she had to execute Jane for the stability of her kingdom and her crown- not petty revenge because she wanted to. For a woman maligned and portrayed as "the most evil woman in all of ever!!", Mary I was actually for the most part a pretty reasonable ruler and empathetic. Before anyone jumps on me and cites her campaign of religious persecution- her father executed 57,000 people at least, her grandfather offed people for personal gain, her brother had 5000 Catholics and many Protestant heretics burnt, and her sister burnt 200 Catholic priests herself. Yet we never talk of "Bloody Henry", or "Bloody Edward", we only ever hear of "Bloody Mary"
@@SentientHairBall Agreed.
@@SentientHairBall I agreed in that Mary did evil as her father and many other rulers did before and after her. However she did ungodly evil to many people and to Lady Jane Grey. Two wrongs do not make a right.
Possibly the most tragic teenager in history.
What about Catherine Howard?
@@msher33her too
U mean of nobilty in Tudor era history.
Sporus was a young boy castrated by Nero and forced to dress and carry on as a queen, because he reminded Nero of his dead wife that he killed...
Joan of Ark was also pretty tragic.
Forgot to mention she was only 16 years old when her own cousin Mary Tudor had her executed.
So sad for her. She was a pawn in her family's schemes
Thanks 😊
I've been to the house she was held in, in Ingatestone, Essex. She had scratched a poem into the wall and it was still there.
I love tudor history
Thank you 😊
@@HistoryRoadshowme too 🥰
This was great. I feel sad for her, as her life was cut short. Thank you
Thanks Anita 😊
Wow, what a tragic turn of events here. Poor Jane didn't stand a chance.
Yes Jane ruled England 🏴 for 9 days but, her reign 👑 was triumphant. As said the words for the movie 🎥🍿 Lady Jane. For me personally it should be Queen 👑 Jane.
Gosh what some men will do for the love of power.
Poor young thing she didn't stand a chance.
She should have never have been beheaded.
She stole the throne from bloody Mary. What did she think was gonna happen
@@deonh3198 technically she didn’t steal it other people stole it and put her on the throne. She didn’t really want to go on the throne.
@@COBO2 same thing
@@deonh3198 not really and if they went along Edwards will then Jane would have been Queen not Mary. So technically Mary stole it from Jane.
Yeah I agree, she should've been burned at the stake as was the customary execution for women that commit treason.
So cruelly used and destroyed. Poor lady.
😢😢😢😢 so beautiful..is so sad hearing her name poor thing had to die on some one else’s ambition 😢
Inside a British museum with a digital screen and old golden painting screen, would be a real harry potter moment for adults and kids.
It is sad all the men in her life had a cumulative affect on her life. If ANY of those people had cared about her, and not their own power play hunger, KNOWING if this went bad she would die. She died because of those around her, I guess they did not think about their complicity would get them executed too. Still boys🙄🙄🙄
Don’t forget about her abusive mother too.
Have you guys done one of these talking heads videos for Catherine the Great? That would be spectacular!
Lady Jane❤
❤sad 😢
I ❤️ the talking head shorts, they're delightful and smart! 👌😍
Lady Jane🌹
In actual fact you were the rightful heir to the throne legally. As Edward was the king, his will took precedence over the will of the former king. You could have lived had you renounced your faith and accepted the Catholic faith; however, your conscience prevented you from doing so. You had a brief and tragic life. The problems caused by religion at that time was simply not worth it.
No, she was not the rightful heir to the throne. That was Mary. Although Edward was king, he was still a minor and therefore unable to change the line of succession. She would have been the rightful heir if Edward had lived into adulthood.
@@donna1500 You're right. If Edward had died at 18 years then Jane would held on to the crown 👑.
@@donna1500Let’s forget that he was ill at the time
Shouldn't the advisors who named her successor have been condemned to die instead? Doubt she had a choice
Nope she did not want the job. What a shame
Idk. It’s sad that she was killed but I don’t see why she’s always presented as this quiet wallflower. She was fiercely Protestant & outspoken in the way teenagers are, from Vietnam protests to gen x climate change activists. Teens have an extra measure of hope that depletes with disappointment & most become disillusioned adults.
She was well educated & passionate. She, had she not been queen, to me, seems more likely to have become a loud, active Protestant missionary than a quiet, noble wife.
She didn’t want the crown but acted quickly to put her power into use. She might have been a good queen.
Despite the religious differences, she did acknowledge Mary as rightful ruler. Despite he refusal to back down on religion, Mary chose not to execute her. But then her father, driven by greed for money and power, and then to save his own skin, threw his daughter under the proverbial bus & forced her execution.
How tall was she ?
Its sad she got executed for something she had no control over. Ship her off to a convent.
💔💔💔💔💔💔
Beheaded at age 16.😭😭😭
It still disgusts me to this day to think 40 year old nasty men used to drool over little 16 year old girls and then labeled them as women knowing damn well they weren’t and were still kids.
❤
Na to edward next
I just know that Bloody Mary had that girl killed
And we think we have it bad.
Wasn’t she blonde?
Is there one of Jesus Christ as well. These stories are incredibly interesting!
shame on mary
she desired a life of scholarship hahaahahah well that is a 2023 thing to say, no woman of her time would say such a thing...
Your an ai not lady jane gray.
