Episode description
Think of Lady Jane Grey, and your mind probably goes straight to her legacy as the Nine Days’ Queen. But what do we really know about her life? She might have been a young girl catapulted into the line of succession amid the tumultuous battle of religion in the Tudor period, but Jane was more than merely a victim of circumstance. In this episode of the HistoryExtra podcast, Isabel King is joined by historian Nicola Tallis to explore Jane’s remarkable life and death.
