This Day in Tudor History
On this day in Tudor history in 1559 Lady Frances Grey, Duchess of Suffolk died. Lady Grey was the mother of nine day queen Jane Grey and the daughter of Mary Tudor and Charles Brandon. The duchess is not a character I am extrememly familiar with but I greatly enjoyed reading this post on her at the Anne Boleyn Files. It is interesting and references her life as a mother and courtier! Check it out today!

She beat her kids!
ReplyDeleteThe idea that she abused her children came from one comment made by Jane Grey where she said her mother was unkind to her. Before we jump to damaging historical misconceptions research is needed. I strongly urge you to pick up a book on Francis and discover the truth for yourself.
