Alison Plowden delves into the life of a young lady who had the misfortune to have royal blood flowing in her veins. We are also given some insight into life in the household of the Queen Dowager, Katherine Parr, and details on the fates of Jane Gery's younger sisters, Katherine and Mary. The Victorians had a tendancy to romanticise Jane Grey as a protestant martyr. Plowden is not unsympathetic - who could be to a puppet queen married against her will and then executed at 16 - but she is unsentimental in her analysis. Jane Grey was certainly pious and a bit of a blue-stocking, but she was also pretty headstrong, not particularly tactful and had a tendancy towards religious fanaticism!
