Review # 1 was written on 2009-07-16 00:00:00 Michael Thomas At last, a biography that does not paint Lady Jane Grey as a Protestant saint. I've read several accounts of Lady Jane Grey, and have always felt that Jane is wrongly portrayed as being a saintly, pious Protestant teenager who was forced to accepted a crown she knew wasn't hers. I've always felt that Jane was self-righteous, full-of-herself, sanctimonous, pompus, and quite possibly a religious fanatic. Alison Plowden portrays Jane for what she seems to have been; a self-righteous teenager who was a pawn of her parents political ambitions. An excellent and refreshing take on Lady Jane Grey.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-04-03 00:00:00 James Hunt Interesting but not particularly scholarly. As there was very little referencing it was hard to know what was from sources (reliable or unreliable) and what was interpretation. Still, an interesting read.
