Basically the same story I have read by different authors so I‘m assuming some recorded history that backs up some of the details.. sad story that makes me cry especially for Kat! And this is the story of the Grey girls that makes me wonder why ppl love Elizabeth I .. she is in so many ways like her father .. did she really have to be so cruel? I guess the answer is probably yes

Lauraandherbooks @Milara yes i understand that but she wasn‘t going to let them marry- such a messy deal anyways .. I understand that too.. could you imagine living in fear of being overthrown so nobody can get married 😩 3y
LibraryCin It's been a few years since I read this particular one, but I have been fascinated by Lady Jane Grey since grade 10 - right around the age when she was crowned queen. I did an essay in that grade about her. (That's about when the movie with Helena Bonham Carter and Cary Elwes came out, too. Movie not terribly realistic, but still entertaining!) 3y
Lauraandherbooks @LibraryCin what movie was that? 3y
LibraryCin It's just called “Lady Jane“. I think it came out in 1985ish. It was '86:

So behind on my me time and my beloved books~ but at least it‘s a beautiful distraction!! Meet Anastasia - of course if you know my obsession with royalty families of the past and their dramatic lives where that name comes from; our beauty has Czech and Slovak parents so of course I wanted to find a royal Russian name for her ...I think it suits her quite well...

hannah-leeloo She is beautiful and you chose well for her name. A beautiful reading buddy 3y
Lauraandherbooks @hannah-leeloo thank you ~ I was obsessed with the Romanav family so I was glad my husband agreed with the name!! Now I‘m on the Tudor family and have 3 racehorse mares that are due to foal soon and hope to draw names from that family but I haven‘t came up with anything yet 3y

As I continue on with the Tudors- this queens reign is so short and I find it so sad that families at this time are so selfish and self serving, probably worse than that is that it was normal; poor Jane
