I didn't know Queen Mary offered Jane a lifeline by avoiding the death penalty via converting to Catholocism. Amazing how strong minded she was to stick to her faith even in death, and just a teenager.
She Just got sucked into something that I really don't think she wanted any part in but since she as the chosen one by Edward she couldn't say no. Sadly, I think Mary I had become a bitter woman by this time, she was considered an old maid by now, and pretty much took it out on Lady Jane because she was in the time that was rightfully hers.
@@Tat2dGothic I was going to say what if lady Jane grey was never killed by Mary and she became queen of England in 1603 if she was alive what would have happened in your opinion
The story of Jane is so sad she and her husband were just children caught up in a storm of intrigue and suspicion God rest their souls’ - she was so well educated and pious
@Empress Mermaid Imagine if she was never killed she would have been queen in 1603 if she was still alive she would have been a good ruler and made England a peaceful country
@@sapphire8005 yeah but don’t forget Mary she never wanted the crown to begin with I understand that you were not happy with her but at the end of the day she was used as a pawn I am sure in 1603 if she was never killed she would be a good queen I think she would have ended all the wars and her grand kids would probably marry into Spanish royalty to stop the war don’t you think
@@raumaanking she's a victim of mine she is a good queen but the thing is she is a puppet she take orders from her father and her father wanted to kill me
@@sapphire8005 she didn’t really and wouldn’t you take your orders from your mother Catherine of Aragon I knew you went through a lot but lady Jane was innocent think of all the peacefulness she would have brought England is she was queen in 1603 but anyways I do have another question hope you don’t mind Mary
Why death to her? I cannot and shall never understand why she'd been condemned to die and in such a horrible way! She was little more than a child herself! Where was the crime in it?
Mary Tudor couldn't tolerate The Protestant threat. Elizabeth ( Mary's half sister) was also Protestant but she played the game and showed Catholic acceptance towards Mary. Elizabeth played her cards very well (she born during the year of The Snake) but Lady Jane Grey could not place a lie over her heart and put on a Catholic face. She would have been a lovely Queen.
I believe Beauchamp only deteriorated into Beecham (in England) relatively recently. So I suppose 'yes' she pronounced it wrong, and 'no' not really. 😉
Thank you for your video. I know the portrait at the start is presumed to be Lady Jane Grey but what I don't understand about it and others like it is why they look so strange? That one seems more like a caricature as do many of Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I and etc. (The drawing you showed of her - if it is her - looks more like a human being. )
What I think is truly fucked up is that Mary knew from experience that woman especially anyone with royal blood was a pawn to be used as a game piece she knew this she seen what her dad did to not only her mother but to any of the women his gaze fell on to she knew all of this she knew Jane was a pawn used by powerful men but Mary put her to death that makes me not think to highly of her she had her grandmother In her when it came to her religion
I think it was the Seymours who pushed Edward to name Lady Jane as his heiress. Furthermore, Elizabeth was not as Protestant as Edward would have liked (think how Anglicanism still has lots of Catholic rituals).
@@OffWithOurHead I think you handled that very gracefully and way better than I would have!!! I just wonder what is wrong with this woman that she has nothing better to do than to go off on somebody about their pronunciation of words?? There's a lot more going on in this day and age to be worried about!! And if she doesn't like the way you pronounce things, then why is she watching your videos? I just couldn't believe it when I read that comment!! But it showed how classy and what type of person you are by the response you gave! Quite "remarkable" I must say!!🙂
