Homework 3: How useful is Source A to a historian studying the execution of Lady Jane Grey? Source: An account from a witness of the execution of Lady Jane Grey in the Tower of London."Lady Jane was calm, although. Elizabeth & Ellen wept... The executioner kneeled down and asked her for forgiveness, which she gave most willingly... She said "I pray you dispatch me quickly." She tied a handkerchief over her eyes; then feeling for the block, she said, "What shall I do, where is it?" One of the bystanders guided her... She laid down her head upon the block and stretched forth her body." From the content of the source, I can see that the executioner asks for forgiveness from Lady Jane Grey. This suggests that she is innocent & the executioner was sent by someone else to condemn her. From my own knowledge, I can confirm that this source is useful to a historian studying the execution of Lady Jane Grey because Edward VI wanted Lady Jane, his distant cousin, to be his heir, despite Mary I being the oldest child of their father Henry VIII. He didn't choose Mary I due to the fact that he wanted to keep the Protestant values of the country in 1534 instead of allowing Mary Tudor to bring back the Catholic traditions. We also know that Lady Jane is a very calm & understanding person. From the content of the source I can see that Lady Jane Grey forgives the executioner willingly. This suggests that Lady Jane Grey was expecting this to happen & is quite accepting of her fate. From my own knowledge, I can support this to source being useful to a historian studying the execution of Lady Jane Grey as I know that the "Queen for 9 days" usurped the throne from her cousin, Mary Tudor, because Edward VI, Mary's brother, wanted to keep the Protestant faith and Church of England alive after he died. However, Lady Jane most likely knew that Mary I was going to attempt to overthrow the throne & plan an execution because 1) Someone had arrested Earl Dudley, Jane's husband, beforehand - 2) The majority of the population disliked Earl Dudley ( he was known as being arrogant & stuck up ), & would of have loved Mary to be the Queen instead of Lady Jane, & 3), Mary I was clearly very jealous as she was the rightful heir to the throne. Furthermore, the provenance takes some part in understanding the execution of Lady Jane Grey. Lmao let's just forget this ever happened [Read more] |
