About this product

Product Information

After the death of King Henry and his young son and heir Edward VI, Henry's 15-year-old great-niece, Lady Jane Grey (Helena Bonham Carter), is chosen to rule by a group of palace conspirators who vow to keep the country Protestant and out of the hands of the Church of Rome. She is crowned, against her will, and her reign lasts only nine days, until Henry's legitimate daughter Princes Mary, by first wife, the Catholic Catherine of Aragon, and her supporters rally around and crown her Queen. Jane is imprisoned in the Tower of London and eventually beheaded, along with her husband, Guilford Dudley (Cary Elwes), for what is presumed to be their part in the conspiracy. The film chronicles, fairly accurately, Jane's growth, during her extremely short reign, from a bookish intellectual to a confident, and politically progressive young woman who refuses to conform to the religious hypocrisies of 16th Century England.

  • True Story of Young Martyrs

    Lady Jane was a young girl that was brutally forced to marry someone of her parents choosing. But her and her husband fell deeply in love and then she was forced to be the Queen of England-but only for 9 days. They both became martyrs because they would not change their faith to be Catholic. I knew this was a tragic story, but I didn't expect such devotion this young couple had for one another and for their faith.

  • A Great Biographical Story

    I wasn't sure what to expect from this less renown story between the reign of King Henry VIII/ Queen Elizabeth but I really enjoyed it. Sadly, though, it didn't end well. I think it's a story worth watching-the DVD was in mint condition. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

  • A Lost Opportunity

    A point in history that, had she continued to reign, would have changed the world. Imagine the possibilities. My Lady, Jane.
