The Myth of 'Bloody Mary'

[Siwsan]

11. Bingo on Jane's husband

I think Jane is one of the most sympathetic historical figures. The description of her, blindfolded, frantically feeling around to find the block, at her execution, is heartbreaking.

I just noticed that Frances Grey died the year after Elizabeth came to the throne. Her niece, Margaret, lived until 1596.

One has to give it to Mary of Scotland. She never gave up trying to take the English throne!! I know a lot of people see her as a very sympathetic character. I'm an exception. She was absolutely fascinating but not someone I admire.
