Summary
1. February is the month she was executed
2. I have read 'Crown of Blood' by Nicola Tallis
3. I just finished 'Three Sisters Who Would Be Queen' by Leanda De Lisle
4. BBC recently had a series on her as well, so Jane is hot-topic this month.
The life of Lady Jane Grey has been told many times. Most of the stories mention an abusive home where Jane felt trapped. But they do not often make you feel like you are getting a glimpse at the real Jane.
My series on Jane will hopefully open your eyes to interesting bits you did not know.
