How was Lady Jane Grey executed?

Answer 1

Jane Seymour (c1504-09 - 1537), the third wife of Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) died, probably of puerpural fever, some days after giving birth to their son, Edward (later Edward VI), on 24 October 1537.

Before Henry died, he asked to be interred with Jane Seymour in St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, England.

Answer 2

beheaded.

Lady Jane Grey was executed by her cousin Queen "Bloody" Mary I for treason. Jane Grey is seen as a figure of innocence. It is true that she commited treason by becoming Queen of England when it rightfully belonged to Mary but she did not want to be Queen. She was forced by her father-in-law, husband, and her parents who would beat her if she did not obey. She was Queen for only nine days before Mary overthrew her. She was only seventeen.

Answer 3

Lady Jane Grey died because of her parents and her uncle in law John Dudley or Northumberland . She was the great-granddaughter of King Henry VIII and when the son of Henry VIII died he named her as the Queen instead of his two half sisters Mary and Elizabeth. Mary did not like this and 9 days after Jane became Queen Mary declared herself Mary I and over threw Jane. Jane was throw into the tower of London and was executed a couple of months later. Mary then had Jane and her husband executed be Jane's father rebelled against Mary and she thought that with out Jane and her most likely revengful husband on the scene she could rule in peace.

Answer 4

His (Guilford's) carcass thrown into a cart, and his head in a cloth, he was brought to the chapel within the Tower, where Lady Jane, whose lodging was in Partidge's house, did see his dead carcass taken out of the cart, as well as she did see him before alive on going to his death - a sight to her no less than death. By this time was there a scaffold made upon the green over against the White Tower, for the said Lady Jane to die upon......The said lady, being nothing abashed...with a book in her hand whereon she prayed all the way till she came to the said scaffold....First, when she mounted the said scaffold she said to the people standing thereabout: "Good people, I am come hither to die, and by a law I am condemned to the same. The fact, indeed, against the queen's highness was unlawful, and the consenting thereunto by me: but touching the procurement and desire thereof by me or on my behalf, I do wash my hands thereof in innocency, before God, and the face of you, good Christian people this day." and therewith she wrung her hands, in which she had her book. And kneeling down she turned to Fackenham (the dean of St Paul's) saying "Shall I say this psalm?" And he said "Yea". Then she said the psalm of Misere mei Deus in English, in most devout manner, to the end. Then she stood up and gave Mistress Tinney her gloves and handkerchief, and her book to Master Bruges, the lieutenant's brother; forthwith, she untied her gown. The hangman went to her to help her therewith; then she desired him to let her alone, and also with her other attire and neckerchief, giving to her a fair handkerchief to knit about her eyes.

Then the hangman kneeled down, and asked her forgiveness, whom she gave most willingly. Then he willed her to stand upon the straw: which doing she saw the block. Then she said "I pray you dispatch me quickly." Then she kneeled down saying "Will you take it off before I lay me down?" and the hangman answered her "No, madam". She tied the neckerchief about her eyes: then feeling for the block she said "What shall I do? Where is it?" One of the standers-by guiding her thereto, she laid her head down upon the block, and stretched forth her body and said "Lord, into thy hands I commend my spirit." And so she ended.

A contempary account.
