Leanda de Lisle (author of ‘The Sisters Who Would Be Queen: The Tragedy of Mary, Katherine and Lady Jane Grey’) has an article in the September issue of History Today magazine. ‘Katherine Grey Heir to Elizabeth’ looks at the little known story of one of the sisters of Lady Jane.
‘Imagine you are 18. Your home is lost, your sister and father executed, but you have survived the reign of Mary Tudor to emerge as Queen Elizabeth’s heir and rival. In November 1558 such was the position of Lady Katherine Grey, sister of Jane, the Nine Days Queen. But Katherine’s dramatic life has been all but erased from national memory, along with one of the great love stories of English history.’
