Speech from the ScaffoldLady Jane Grey's speech from the scaffold was written down, so copies could be circulated after her death. In Richard Davey's 'The Nine Days' Queen' , the speech differs slightly from other sources. He quotes from an account of the speech by a 'Philippa de Clifford' a supposed relative of Jane. Davey states that the authenticity of this source is doubtful. A full version of her speech can be found in the following: Child-Life and Girlhood of Remarkable Women by W H D Adams Notices of the Historic Persons Buried in the Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula in the Tower of London: with an account of the discovery of the supposed remains of Queen Anne Boleyn by Doyne C Bell Lady Jane Grey by Hester W Chapman The Nine Days' Queen: Lady Jane Grey and Her Times by Richard Davey Acts and Monuments VI by J Foxe Lady Jane and her Times by George Howard The Nine Days Queen: A Portrait of Lady Jane Grey by Mary Luke The Chronicle of Queen Jane and Two Years of Queen Mary and Especially of the Rebellion of Sir Thomas Wyatt edited by John Gough Nichols Literary Remains of Lady Jane Grey: With a Memoir of Her Life by Nicholas H Nicolas They Saw It Happen 1485-1688 by C R N Routh Lives of the Tudor Princesses by Agnes Strickland 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 can be found in the following: Tales from the Tower of London by Daniel Diehl and Mark P Donnelly Silent But For The Word: Tudor Women as Patrons, Translators, and Writers of Religious Works edited by Margaret Patterson Hannay Lady Jane Grey and the House of Suffolk by Alison Plowden Lady Jane Grey: Nine Days Queen by Alison Plowden The House of Tudor by Alison Plowden Tudor Women by Alison Plowden Mary Tudor: The First Queen by Linda Porter Lady Jane: From the screenplay by David Edgar by A C H Smith Sovereign Ladies: The Six Reigning Queens of England by Maureen Waller Children of England: The Heirs of King Henry VIII by Alison Weir |
