#Lady Mary Tudor

A bitter reminder that Elizabeth I wasn’t the only one to deal with the ultimate issue of executing a royal cousin or not.

Tallis, Nicolla. "Crown Of Blood: The Deadly Inheritance of Lady Jane Grey".

MY LADY JANE costume appreciation: 3/∞ — costume design by stephanie collie

[thequietesthing]

they officially cancelled My Lady Jane after only one season because it apparently “didn’t find a broad enough audience”. i’m disappointed but not surprised, unfortunately it’s just one more name in the very long list of too-soon cancelled shows with incredible potential.

When we talk about the 'Bloody Mary' label, Protestant propaganda is very relevant, but also let's not forget about Lady Jane Grey. Paul Delaroche's depiction of her execution is as powerful and moving as anything John Foxe wrote.

It's not exactly a pro-Mary picture, is it?

“For the next few years, Edward’s household led an itinerant journey through some of the many smaller royal palaces and hunting lodges that Henry possessed on the outskirts of London. It was a life devoted to leisure and enjoyment. On his removal to Hunsdon around Easter 1540, Lady Bryan wrote to Cromwell informing him as she was accostumed to, of Edward’s progress:

‘My Lord Prince’s grace is in good health and merry… his grace danced and played so wantonly that he could not stand still and was full of pretty toys as ever I saw child in my life’.

Mary continued her visits, spoiling her brother with presents. Elizabeth was less generous, demonstrating a early habit for thrift for which she would become readily noted, but her gifts were no less thoughtful, for each year she sent her brother a cambric shirt that she had made herself.”
