To accompany Part 5 of ‘How the Tudors Lost Their Heads’ on Disney +:
‘Professor Suzannah Lipscomb and Dan Snow explore John Dudley’s meteoric rise and catastrophic fall.
How did the son of an executed traitor rise to become the power behind young Edward VI? Was John Dudley a visionary patriot saving England from crisis or a ruthless opportunist who risked everything for ultimate power?
Following the death of Henry VIII, Dudley seized control of the realm. However, his later gamble to put Lady Jane Grey on the throne condemned him to the executioner’s block.’
