The Nine Days' Queen: Lady Jane Grey, and Her Times.

By Richard Davey

Richard Davey wrote the book T he Nine Days' Queen, Lady Jane Grey, and Her Times . He gives a detailed description of the life of Lady Jane Grey, who was Queen of England for only nine days. Davey conveys Lady Jane Grey's heart-rending tragedy from a personal rather than a political standpoint. He employs what French historians refer to as ' le document humain' to depict the exceptional men and women who surrounded Lady Jane and used her for their own goals. The book also digs into the series of plots that preceded and enabled her proclamation as Queen. These conspiracies included the Howards and the Catholic faction against Queen Katherine Parr, the Seymours against the Howards, and Thomas Seymour's plot to overthrow his brother, Edward. The book was first published in 1909, and provides a comprehensive understanding of the circumstances surrounding Lady Jane Grey's brief reign and the political machinations of the time.
