FeckenhamTo try and save Jane's soul after her father's involvement in Wyatt's failed uprising led to Mary signing Jane's death warrant, Queen Mary sent Dr Feckenham to Jane to try and convert her to Catholicism. Jane and her husband were originally due to die on February 9 but their executions were postponed to the 12th, to give Dr Feckenham time to try and achieve this. The religious debate that ensued between Lady Jane and Dr Feckenham was recorded and published in Foxe's 'Acts and Monuments'. Dr Feckenham failed to change Jane's beliefs and asked to accompany her to the scaffold, to which she agreed. A full transcript of the debate can be found in the following: Acts and Monuments Volume VI by J Foxe The Nine Days Queen: A Portrait of Lady Jane Grey by Mary Luke Literary Remains of Lady Jane Grey by Nicholas H Nicolas Documents of Lady Jane Grey: Nine Days Queen of England 1553 by James D Taylor Jr State Trials, 1 Mary, 1553 - and others for High Treason Extracts from their debate can be found in the following: Lady Jane Grey by Hester W Chapman Silent But For The Word: Tudor Women as Patrons, Translators, and Writers of Religious Works edited by Margaret Patterson Hannay Tower of London by Christopher Hibbert Lady Jane Grey and Her Times by George Howard Lady Jane Grey and the House of Suffolk by Alison Plowden Lady Jane Grey: Nine Days Queen by Alison Plowden Lady Jane: From the screenplay by David Edgar by A C H Smith |
