November 13 - Lady Jane Grey is tried for treason

 

On this day in Tudor history, 13th November 1553, in the reign of Queen Mary I, the former queen Jane, or Lady Jane Grey, was tried for treason at Guildhall in London. She wasn't the only one tried, her husband Lord Guildford Dudley, his brothers Ambrose and Henry Dudley, and Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, were also tried for treason for their parts in putting Jane on the throne.

 

In today's talk, Claire Ridgway, founder of the Tudor Society, explains what happened at their trial and also what happened to these Tudor people after they were found guilty and condemned to death.
