The Sisters Who Should Have Been Queens: a Tudor Tragedy
by Y
About This Novel
Linda de Lysire's nonfiction narrative tells the little-known lives of Jane Grey, Catherine Grey, and Mary Grey, three aristocratic young women who lost out in the Tudor power struggle who might have become Queens of England. This book reinterprets their place in history and casts a new light on Elizabeth I's reign. The elder Jane Gray was put on the throne by greedy politicians and uncompromising religious reformers, but was soon deposed and eventually executed in the Tower of London. In fact, she is not just a victim, but more like a leader, fighting for the crown and faith until death. Although Catherine and Mary acted cautiously, they had to face a tragic ending. There are various rumors surrounding the lives of the Gray sisters. Linda de Lisle takes readers through the fog of history, telling the experiences of little-known characters, and vividly showing the turbulent world in which the Gray sisters live: in their era, royal marriage can make people dominate the world, or they can have nothing.
