Stephan Edwards (author of ‘A Queen of a New Invention: Portraits of Lady Jane Grey Dudley, England’s Nine Days Queen’) has a new book about Jane coming out in mid July.
‘The Lady Jane Grey’s Prayer Book’ is a fully illustrated and transcribed version of the British Library Harley Manuscript 2342, which Lady Jane carried to her execution on 12th February 1554. Edwards’ book also includes a detailed introduction to the prayer book and a brief history of Jane’s life.
The prayer book contains messages that Jane and her husband, Guildford, wrote to Henry Grey, Duke of Suffolk and a message from Jane to John Brydges (the Lieutenant of the Tower of London).
