“When she mounted the scaffold, her looks were cheerful, and she never appeared more beautiful. Observing some about her weeping, she said, ‘Be not sorry to see me die thus, but pardon me from your hearts, that I have not expressed to all about me the mildness that became me, and that I have not done all the good that was in my power to do.”
“ So she went to the place of execution with an untroubled countenance. Her face and complexion never were so beautiful. She begged her hearers to forgive her if she had not used them all with becoming gentleness, and asked for their prayers […] The spectators could not refrain from tears.”

the berry hill portrait said to be of lady jane grey has been rediscovered in an american auction two days ago! however i am pretty sure this portrait is if elizabeth i as a princess or early in her reign as it is almost identical to the clopton portrait type that was mass produced when elizabeth became queen in 1558 as so her subjects would know what she looked like, many of them still exist of varying quality w
as you can see this portrait is a copy of this one, this is the syon house portrait, historically thought to be of jane however sir roy strong concludes it’s of elizabeth i sometimes in the 1550s as the portrait was never associated with jane in the 16th century
