Additional InformationAfter the death of King Henry VIII 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 Princess Mary, by first wife the Catholic Catherine of Aragon, and her supporters rally around and crown her Queen instead. Jane is imprisoned in the Tower of London and eventually beheaded, along with her husband, Guildford 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.

  • Fine acting in this period drama

    Great to see a very young Helena Bonham Carter in full flow! She is superb in this production which, although very obviously made quite a while ago, soon engages the audience with the excellent cast and fine acting all round. We thoroughly enjoyed watching this and have kept it in our DVD collection to watch again!

  • Jana Regina

    Excellent cast. Sara Kestelman is outstanding as Jane’s mother. A teenage couple, forced to marry, unaware of their parent’s conspiracy to make Jane queen. Some parts are amusing and some are very emotional.
