Crown of Blood

The Deadly Inheritance of Lady Jane Grey

De: Nicola Tallis

Narrado por: Charlotte Strevens

'Good people, I am come hither to die and by a law I am condemned to the same.' These were the words uttered by 17-year-old Lady Jane Grey as she stood on the scaffold on a cold February morning in 1554. Forced on to the throne by power players at court, Queen Jane reigned for just 13 days before being imprisoned in the tower, condemned for high treason and executed.

In this dramatic retelling of an often misread tale, historian Nicola Tallis explores evidence that has never been before used in a biography to sweep away the myths and reveal the moving story of an intelligent, independent and courageous young woman

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A stunning debut...vivid, colourful, pacy and evocative." (Alison Weir)

Captivating

I found this book captivating and the additional information on the Grey and Seymour families was really interesting. The performance was wonderful and kept me engaged.
