You can read Helen Castor’s article, ‘Elizabeth I: Exception to Rule’ at History Today magazine.
The article includes several references to Lady Jane Grey.
There is also ‘a woodcut illustration from a 17th century tract’ depicting the execution of Jane, which can be viewed at the link below. The illustration shows a women about to be executed by a sword.
I’ve never seen this illustration before. Does anyone know where it comes from?
