== Folklore surrounds how Robert met and fell in love with Arletta. Her real name was Herleve but became known as Arletta later. The story goes that in 1027 Robert was returning to his castle in Falaise when he set eyes upon a girl washing her clothes in the river nearby. When Robert saw her, he was immediately attracted by her beauty. Both would have been about 17 or 18 at the time. Unable to get her out of his mind, he sent a messenger to her to arrange a meeting. Expecting her to readily agree, it must of come as a shock when she refused unless she came in broad daylight, mounted, and through the main gate. When Robert was informed, he agreed. Within one year a baby boy was born and was named William. The William who would later be known as the Conqueror and King William of England. Never would the father named Fulbert, a leather Tanner, have thought that he would have a daughter who would bear a son that would later become the King of England ...

William I, "The Conqueror"

== William I 1066-1087: aka William, Duke of Normandy; William "The Conqueror;" William "The Bastard." In person, William I was said to be a man of great stature with the thundering voice one might expect from one of history's most remarkable figures. William became Duke of Normandy when he was just 7 years old, and by age 24 he was the mightiest feudal lord in France. In 1066 William seized the English crown at the momentous Battle of Hastings. During his reign, William established a social order that would endure for centuries, and would become known as the feudal system. Although never popular with the English Saxon population, William's iron rule brought order and stability. William ordered the creation of the Domesday Book - an exhaustive census of all of England's people and property. William died in 1087 while warring with Philip I in France.

== William II 1087-1100: During his rule from 1087 to 1100, William II, called "Rufus (Red)" because of his ruddy complexion, was not a popular man. One Anglo Saxon chronicle says that he was "hated by almost all his people, and abhorred by God. He every morning got up a worse man than he lay down, and every evening lay down a worse man than he got up." From his father, William Rufus received the English crown while his brother Robert was given Normandy. Throughout his reign, Rufus was known for selling off church offices or keeping them unoccupied so that he could collect their revenue for himself. While hunting in the royal forest, Rufus was killed, probably accidentally, by an arrow through the head. He was succeeded by his brother, Henry I. For some strange reason better known to himself, Robert decided that he needed to go to the Holy Land to do penance. He left the 8 year old William with trusted guardians until his return. In his own mind he knew he was not going to return. When the death of Robert became known, the power struggle began. William had to be removed one way or another. It began with the murder of his guardian, Gilbert of Brionne followed by his tutor, Thurold. Osbern, his seneschal was the next to die. He was murdered with a knife in Le Vaundreuil castle while he slept. What the murderer didn't realize was that the boy William was sleeping in the same bed next to him. William mysteriously disappeared for his own safety for five or six years. He possibly was entrusted to a common loyal family who brought him up as a their son so as not to allow his identity to become known. William never lost site of his position however, which seems to indicate he was still being kept in touch with events at court. Around 1045, William now 17 was ready to recapture his birthright. With a band of loyal followers he returned to his home in Falaise. Here he appealed for the townsfolk's help to regain the castle. Reminding them of his origin and of his father, managed to rally their support. The castle was captured from the Dane, Toustain, who managed to escape with his life. The first stage of William's return was complete. William's position was still not secure. The re-emergence of William sent shock waves through Normandy. Illegitimacy was the rule rather than the exception at this time in Normandy from William Longsword down. Family ties were not as strong as they were in England. Bearing this in mind it is no wonder that in 1046, his own cousin, Guy of Brionne plotted William's death. Unfortunately for Guy, the plot was discovered by William's jester named Gollet. Gollet was possibly performing in Bayeux when he overheard their plans. He immediately left and rode to William in Valognes. Here William was intending to spend the night. When informed, he immediately rode to Bayeux, and passed the execution squad riding in the other direction. Passing straight through Bayeux, he met a knight who directed him home to Falaise. William learnt a lesson from this near miss that would make him much harder and less forgiving in the future. He appealed to King Henry I for support as the king had promised to care for the boy during Robert's penance. William was now 20 years old and the struggle for power came to a head. Whoever won this battle would be unchallenged as the Duke of Normandy. William and the Kings men on one side and an Armada of his opponents on the other. The battle took place at Val-es-Dunes and William was victorious. He was immediately knighted by the king. Guy of Brionne was captured but later released and exiled to Burgundy. Normandy was again a strong force to be reckoned with. The year of 1051 heralded a strange period. During this year, it is thought, William used the exiling of Godwin to Flanders to visit Edward the Confessor in England. Edward spent most of his youth in France, so probably welcomed this visit. Why William chose to visit Edward at all is open to question. Did he have eyes on the English throne by appealing to a kinsman. Whatever happened on this trip, words were exchanged that gave William the impression that when Edward died , he would automatically become the new king of England. If that was his plan, he could not have picked a better time with the Godwins in disgrace. William decided to get married and approached The amiable Count Balduin of Flanders, for the hand of his daughter, Matilda. Matilda flatly refused, saying that she would rather be a nun than to marry a bastard. On hearing this, William immediately rode to the Counts castle in Lille and a meeting with her. When she again refused, legend has it that he gave her a good beating. She seemed to respond to this. They were married and remained faithful to each other until William's death in 1087. If William and Matilda were happily married, the Pope was not happy about it. It was seen as a sin if there was any intermarrying of cousins. The relationship was so distant that there must have been other reasons for Pope Leo iX's action. The result was excommunication for them along with the whole of Normandy. This must have been very disturbing to William and his subjects. William flatly refused to annul the marriage, so the ban stayed in force. William had a loyal friend named Lanfranc, who became the prior of Bec in 1045 and later, following the Norman Conquest, Archbishop of Canterbury in 1070. Lanfranc managed to persuade the new Pope named Nicholas II to rescind the order on the grounds that it would be politically unwise to return Matilda to her father, as it would be seen as a gross insult, and could possibly lead to war. It was not agreed to without cost. For absolution, William was ordered to build a monastery and nunnery in Caen. These still stand today and are known as the Abbaye-aux-Hommes and the Abbaye-aux-Dames. He was also ordered to build a number of hospitals in various locations. William and Matilda had 4 sons and 4 daughters. Robert Shorthose, William Rufus, Henry Beauclerc, Richard, Constance, Adelisa, Adelaide and Adela. It was not all plain sailing for William. Normandy was always the subject of attack from neighbours. William's leadership reigned supreme. He was not adverse to crossing over his own borders himself. When in 1054, King Henry I, who had so willingly supported him against Guy of Brionne, suddenly annulled the treaty made between Charles the Simple and Rollo in 911. William prepared for an attack. The king supported by Angevins and Gauls invaded Normandy and inflicted many casualties. William refused to admit defeat by going on the offensive. he crossed his border and captured those responsible. He was now possibly the most powerful man in France beneath the king. By 1062 he had increased the size of his kingdom by capturing the area known as Maine to the south. In 1064 news came from Guy of Ponthieu that he had captured someone that William might be interested to meet at the right price. That someone was Duke Harold Godwinson the future king of England. William would not pay Guy a ransom for Harold but used disguised threats which seemed to work, as Harold was handed over to him.

== Henry I 1100-1135: He was present when his brother, William Rufus, was killed, and he immediately claimed the throne. Henry's rule is remembered primarily as one of peace and order, although in 1125 he found 94 of his 97 moneyers guilty of "debasing the coinage," and ordered a hand chopped off of each one, and nailed to the owner's office door. During his reign, Henry declared a law that no baron could fortify his dwelling without a royal decree, a move that reveals the crown's fear of revolt as well as the growing importance of castles. In 1106, Henry defeated Duke Robert of Normandy, thus establishing his own authority on both sides of the English Channel. In 1120, his son William drowned and, according to legend, the King never smiled again.

== Stephen I 1135-1154: King Stephen, grandson of William the Conqueror, came to the throne in controversy. Before Henry I died, he had named his daughter Matilda to be his successor. But Matilda was across the Channel in Anjou when her father died, and Stephen claimed the crown. Twice was Stephen's rule challenged by Matilda and her followers, who nearly succeeded in driving him out in 1141.Stephen was never a strong ruler. Throughout his reign, lawless barons fought private wars in an effort to expand their powers. When Stephen died in 1154, the people were ready for a king who would assert his power and bring order to a troubled land. While Stephen and Matilda quarreled almost non stop, Stephen relaxed the grip on the feudal barons that Henry I had held so carefully. The barons ran wild, building thousands of stone castles at an enormous rate. Thus secured behind their stone walls, the barons ignored royal decrees, made alliances with each other, and conducted private wars to the great detriment of the land and the peasants who lived there. One form of economic warfare was to slaughter all an enemy's serfs, depriving him of the income from his fields, while leaving the fields themselves unharmed.

== Lady Jane Grey: Born in October of 1537 at her family home of Bradgate (Broadgate) Park to her parents Henry De Grey, the Marquis of Dorset and Frances Brandon, the daughter of Henry VIII's sister Mary. Jane's father later became the Duke of Suffolk. Jane had two younger sisters, K(C)atherine, born in 1539-40 and Mary, born in 1545. The exact date of Jane's birth is not known, but using clues from surrounding events, many scholars believe she was born before Prince Edward, her cousin. Needless to say, the birth of Edward, the first and only male heir to Henry VIII on October 12, greatly overshadowed Jane Grey's own arrival into the world. Edward's birth also likely sparked the hope of Jane's parents, that she might one day be his bride and Queen of England. Jane's baptism took place within forty-eight hours, as was the custom, in the parish church at Bradgate. The name Jane was rare in pre-Reformation times, and so it is believed that she was named after Jane Seymour, the mother of Prince Edward.
== As a child, she was well educated and learned to speak and read in Latin, Greek, French, and Italian, as well as English. In 1549, when she was 12 years old, John Aylmer became her tutor. Jane spoke glowingly of him, and said he was the complete opposite of her strict parents. Based on some correspondence that Aylmer wrote to Jane, some scholars feel he may have fallen in love with her, while teaching her. In 1546, when Jane was 9 years old, she was sent to Court under the guardianship of Queen Katherine Parr, the sixth wife and eventual widow of Henry VIII. A few months after Jane arrived, Katherine married Thomas Seymour, the Lord Admiral. Unfortunately Lord Seymour was also fond of romping in the room of the then Princess Elizabeth (daughter of Henry VIII and later Queen of England). When Katherine discovered this she packed up Elizabeth and sent her off to the country. Jane adored Katherine and found love and tenderness with her that had been lacking in Jane's parents. Meanwhile, Lord Admiral tried to convinced Jane's father to pay enough money for Jane to become a ward of Seymours. In return, Thomas promised to arrange for Jane to be wed to King Edward. Shortly after this, Katherine was delighted to discover that she was pregnant and Jane went with the couple to stay at their estate in Gloucestershire. It was there that Katherine gave birth to a baby girl, the year was 1548. Unfortunately a week later Katherine died of complications apparently relating to the birth of her daughter. Lady Jane Grey, now 11 years of age, was the chief mourner at Katherine's funeral. At this point her wardship was taken over by the Lord Admiral, who was now known as Baron Thomas Seymour of Sudeley, Katherine's widower. Seymour attempted to arrange a marriage between Jane and Edward VI, but it was unsuccessful. Rumor had it that Thomas was planning to marry Elizabeth or even Jane, but his ambitions were seen as too extreme for his station. The Baron was the guardian of Jane for just one year, before he was found guilty of treason and executed. Jane returned to her home in Bradgate and it was soon arranged for her wardship was once again passed and now fell to John Dudley, the Duke of Northumberland. This event would deeply change the remainder of her short life.

Young Jane, Queen for Nine Days

== In 1551, Jane's mother, Frances Grey, lost her two half-brothers. It is believed that they died of influenza. Since Frances' father was already dead, she became the heir to Brandon estates. The title of Duke of Suffolk was passed to her husband Henry and she became the Duchess. In the same year, John Dudley was made the Duke of Northumberland and the chief councilor to King Edward VI. This made Dudley the most powerful man in England short of the King. In April 1552, Edward became sick with the measles and soon he was stricken with tuberculosis as well. By the following spring Edward was so ill that he was weak and spitting up blood. It became apparent that he would likely die before he ever had the opportunity to produce an heir. John Dudley was an ambitious man and he realized that if Mary or Elizabeth were to take the crown, Dudley would most certainly lose his high position and possibly even his head. Dudley plotted with Jane's equally ambitious parents to solve this little problem. Dudley started by becoming Jane's ward, and then he convinced the Suffolks that their daughter, the first eligible female in the line of succession to the throne, should marry his last unmarried son, Lord Guildford Dudley. Frances also agreed to forego her own superior claim to the crown in favor of her daughter. To these ends, Jane was bullied into marrying a young man she hardly knew and becoming the daughter-in-law of a man she hated and distrusted. The wedding took place on May 25, 1553, in the London home of the Northumberland's. The event was a triple wedding with not only Jane's marriage, but the marriage of her younger sister Katherine to Lord Herbert, and finally the marriage of Catherine Dudley, daughter of the Northumberlands to Lord Hastings, son of the Earl of Huntingdon. The event was so rushed that the garments for the weddings had to be borrowed from the royal Master of the Wardrobe. Jane wore a gown of gold and silver brocade embroidered with diamonds and pearls.

John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland

== John Dudley had obviously spent a great deal of time plotting just exactly how he would maneuver the unwilling Jane into the position of Queen, so that his son, in turn, would be king. Upon hearing on King Edward's death, Dudley persuaded the Council to send a letter to his sister Mary. In the letter, Dudley told Mary that Edward was very ill and wished to see her. All the while, Dudley knew Edward was really dead, but the knowledge was not public yet. Mary fell for the trap and immediately started a trip to London to see Edward. Dudley set up a plot to have Mary seized on her way, and then for her to be taken to the Tower as a prisoner. Mary however, discovered the truth of his death during her travels and sent a letter ahead to the Council, assuming that she was the rightful heir to the throne and they would recognize her as Queen. Apparently she was not aware of Dudley's plot, but did mention how odd it was for her to learn two days after the fact, of Edward's death. The letter arrive the 9th, but by this time, word had already been sent to Jane to come to Sion House. Most historians agree, that by this time, Dudley had subjugated and terrorized the Council into following his will on this. He claimed that Mary was not fit for three reasons; her mother's divorce from Henry VIII, her Catholicism and her sex. The Council agreed to move forward with their plan to declare Jane as Queen and then tell Mary it was already done, when she arrived. Word was sent to Jane, who had been staying at Chelsea, that the Council had called her to come before them and that she was to present herself at Sion House where they were assembled. Jane told the messenger, Mary Sidney, that she felt too ill to meet the council. Sidney however insisted and the two girls eventually took a barge to Sion House. Jane arrived, still not aware that Edward had died and grew even more confused when two nobles knelt and kissed her hand. She blushed, embarrassed as they referred to her their sovereign lady. And still she stood confused; for she could not bring herself to believe that such a cataclysmic event s Edward's death could have been hid from her, his cousin and the general public. Lady Grey was then led into the Chamber of State, in a rather formal procession, where Dudley led her to a dais reserved for royalty. Jane looked on in continued confusion as the assembled group, including her parents, paid homage to her. Dudley then came forward and gave a lengthy speech in which Jane finally learned of Edward's death and eventually ended with the declaration that Edward's death wish had been for Jane to take the throne after him. Jane stood there trembling and later wrote that the moment left her "stupefied and troubled". She was speechless. They all knelt yet again to her and she swayed and fell, breaking into sobbing tears. No attempt was made to help her stand, nor to sooth the tears. Among her sobs the words "Such a noble prince" were heard. Finally, she regained enough control to utter the words, "The crown is not my right and pleaseth me not. The Lady Mary is the rightful heir." Dudley was the first to admonish her, followed by her mother and father. Her parents demand that she obey them and do what was required of her. Being very religious, Jane felt she must obey and honor her parents, and reluctantly agreed, still insisting she was insufficient to fill the role. The following morning, Jane was dressed in the green and white of the Tudors. To make her appear even grander she wore raised wooden shoes called chopines, giving her an extra three inches of height. Guilford, her husband was adorned with equal splendor of white and gold. Between three and four o'clock, on the afternoon of the 10th, a parade of barges took Jane and her attendants to the Tower where the crown jewels had been set out for her, and state apartments prepared to receive her. The people along the shores however, were mostly silent. They had only learned that day of Edward's death and now here was a young unwanted and unknown cousin claiming the throne. Many felt that Mary was the rightful heir. The Marquis of Winchester and Sir John Bridges, the Lieutenant of the Tower greeted her, surrounded by civilian and military officials as well the Yeomen of the Guard, each with a gilded axe over his shoulder. Winchester knelt to present the keys of the fortress and Dudley stepped forward to take them, making it very clear who would be the true power behind the thrown. Guns rang out in salute and the silken flags and gilded decorations shown in the bright afternoon sun. Lady Jane proceeded into the White Tower, never to leave the fortress again.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | London ENG, beheaded; executed for treason) married yr? to Guildford Dudley (b.yr?-d.Feb. 12, 1554 London, ENG, beheaded)
== Once inside the tower, Jane was taken to the presence- chamber, where she took her place under the state canopy. The Councilors had left to compose a reply to Mary's letter and Jane was left with a few attendants, among them her old nurse Mrs. Ellen and Mrs. Tilney, her gentlewoman. A short time later Winchester appeared, carrying some of the jewels and the Crown Imperial of the realm. Once again Jane tried to object to what was being thrust on her. In her own words she later described the scene, saying she objected. "But 'the Crown' has never been demanded... by me, or by anyone in my name." She refused it. Winchester countered by saying he just wished her to put it on to see how it suited her. "Your Grace may take it without fear." Finally she relented, saying she would do so only 'to see how it fitted.' And thus was the reluctant Queen crowned. After this, everyone left the room except for Jane and her new husband. He looked to her and asked that she declare him King. She refused and he replied childishly "I will be made King by you and by Act of Parliament." Jane stubbornly refused to change her mind and a furious argument followed, ending when Guilford fled the room in tears, seeking out his mother. Meanwhile, Jane called in Pembroke and Arundel and told them "If the crown belongs to me, I would be content to make my husband a Duke. But I will never consent to make him King." At this point, Guilford and his mother returned. His mother the Duchess stormed at Jane for over an hour and she stood by her early decision. Time passed. The Council sent their response to Mary, calling her a bastard to the title and demanding that she recognize Jane as the true Queen. Announcements were made to the people of London, but their response was somber and still grieving for Edward. That Sunday, the 11th, the sermon at St. Paul's supported Jane as Queen while declaring Elizabeth and Mary as bastards, thus unfit for the throne. On the evening of the 11th a messenger came to the tower with a letter from Mary, dated the 9th. In the letter, Mary declares herself as Queen and asks that bloodshed be avoided. The letter was read out loud and followed by a silence that was only broken by the crying sobs of the two Duchesses. Lady Jane said nothing. After some serious conversation, it was decided that two of Guilford's brothers, The Earl of Warwick and Lord Robert Dudley, would go to meet Mary. They arrived on the 12th and were luckily diverted from her attentions, which likely saved their lives. For now Mary headed an entire army, marching to London.
== The rest of that evening and the whole of the next day were spent in organizing the Government forces in anticipation of Mary's arrival. Dudely sent word to Charles V that Jane had been declared Queen and downplayed any threat Mary might offer to the declaration. There is little recorded of the doings of Jane as Queen from the 11th through the 13th, most likely a result of illness. Jane herself thought she was being poisoned by the Duchess of Northumberland (her husband's mother), but there was no evidence this really occurred. However, Jane's writings indicated that all the skin peeled off her back. Likely it was just an illness born of worry, anxiety and the uncovered moat around the tower. By the 13th it was clear there were serious problems. The people did not support Jane and wanted Mary in her stead. The Council met and decided that Jane's father, the Duke of Suffolk, should go to lead the troops. Jane however was very distressed by this idea and insisted he must stay, alarmed for her own safety. This, in addition to his age and poor health, resulted in Dudley being sent instead. On the 14th, Dudley led a troop of 600 with him, carrying an odd assortment of weapons that had been acquired at the day before. Crowds pressed to watch the men leave, but none bid them God Speed. Things went downhill from there. Mary continued to rally support as she traveled and the mood grew more and more defeated back at the tower where Jane and the Council waited. The people started to revolt, crying for Mary to be made Queen. Jane ordered the gates to the tower locked and the keys brought to her. By the eighth day, no one seemed to know what to do. A horrible fight broke out between Jane's father and the Duchess of Northumberland, once again over the point of Guilford being make King. By now, Jane's eyes were red from weeping. In the middle of all this, news came that the peasants in the country were refusing to take arms against Mary. The following day, the final of this tragic reign, it was obvious that things were hopeless. All but two of Jane's Council had left to betray her and save their necks, her father and Cranmer. Cranmer left that afternoon to join the others. That evening at around 5 or 6pm, Mary was publicly proclaimed Queen at the Cross in Cheapside by four trumpeters and two heralds. The same hour that nine days earlier had been announced to be when Jane would be coroneted. The people declared their joy by ringing church bells, lighting bonfires and dragging tables into the streets so they could drink the health of Queen Mary. Meanwhile, Jane was now alone in the tower, Cranmer having left. Her father came to find her seated sadly under the canopy of State. He said to her, "Come down from that, my child, that is no place for you." Gratefully Jane rose and stepped down, embracing her father as she wept. After a time she finally asked, "Can I go home?" This poor innocent girl actually thought it might be that simple. But alas it was not to be.

Queen Mary, signing the death warrant for Lady Jane Grey

== As Mary declared herself Queen, Jane remained secluded in the state apartments with her ladies in waiting until the evening of July 19th. Then she was moved to the rooms above the Deputy-Lieutenant's, Thomas Brydges where she stayed for an unknown time before finally being moved to a house on the Green. It should also be noted that while Jane was a prisoner, she was not kept in a deep, dark cell or fed only bread and water. Records show that she was allowed to walk in the Queen's Garden and on the hill within the Tower precincts. Three women attended to her, one of who was her nurse from early childhood. In addition she also had two waiting-maids and a lad in her suite. She was also given an allowance that was considered very handsome for the day and should have more than kept her in comfort. On the 20th of July, the Marquis of Winchester, Lord High Treasurer, came to Jane and told her that some of the Crown Jewels were missing and asked her to return them. Jane told him she had returned all that had been given her. He demanded she make amends for the missing items, regardless, so Jane gave up all the coin and valuable she had in an attempt to do so. On July 27th, Jane's father was arrested for treason and imprisoned. Upon hearing this, Jane's mother directly appealed to Queen Mary for the pardon of her husband. It is interesting to note that Jane's mother apparently made no such effort to help Jane.
== On 8 February 1554, Jane was told to prepare for death the following morning. It was on this day that Dr Feckenham, Mary's chaplain, visited her to offer religious counsel and the opportunity to convert to Catholicism before her death. Jane told him, 'I am ready to face death patiently and in whatsoever manner it may please the Queen to appoint.' She went on to say that she, had no time for the 'controversy,' between the two religions. All that she sought, was the peace to ready herself for death. Feckenham took her reference to lack of time literally. He believed that Jane may have felt the need to recant her beliefs but did not have enough time to do so. He informed Mary, who granted Jane and Guildford a reprieve of three days for their 'spiritual enlightenment.' When Feckenham informed Jane, she was dismayed. 'Alas, sir! I did not intend what I said to be reported to the Queen, nor would I have you think me covetous of a moments longer life. I am only solicitous for a better life in Eternity and will gladly suffer death since it is Her Majesty's pleasure...Let me make my peace with God.' Feckenham was later to report that he was struck by Jane's gentleness and honour. He asked that she may allow him to accompany her to the scaffold, to which she consented. == It was decided that Guildford would be executed on Tower Hill and Jane within the confines of the Tower. On 11 February Guildford requested the right to meet with Jane. Mary consented, adding that she hoped it would be of some consolation to them both. When word was sent to Jane, she refused, replying that, 'it would disturb the holy tranquility with which they had prepared themselves for death.' Jane added that her presence would, 'weaken rather than strengthen him,' that he should, 'take courage from [his] reason, and derive constancy from [his] heart.' If his soul was not at peace she would not settle it with her eyes, nor confirm it with her words. They must postpone their meeting until they 'met in a better world, where friendships were happy, and unions indissoluble, and theirs,' she hoped, 'would be eternal.' Around 10 o'clock on the morning of 12 February, Jane watched from her window as her husband was led from the Beauchamp Tower on his way to Tower Hill. She was still at the window when his body was brought back into the Tower, his head wrapped in bandage at his side. Those in her company reported later that she wept openly at the sight, and was heard to utter his name and 'something about the bitterness of death.' Jane had spent the morning in prayer and writing letters of farewell. Shortly before 11 o'clock she was collected by the Lieutenant of the Tower, Sir John Brydges. They then made their way to the scaffold, Jane clutching Brydges arm.Yeoman of the Guard surrounded the wooden structure that had been erected the day before. At the scaffold, Jane was met by Dr Feckenham, along with several other Tower chaplains. An observer recorded what took place. Jane spoke to Feckenham; 'God grant you all your desires and accept my own hearty thanks for all your attention to me. Although indeed, those attentions have tried me more than death can now terrify me.' She then climbed the stairs, 'nothing at all abashed...neither her eyes moistened with tears, although her two gentlewomen...wonderfully wept.' Upon the scaffold, Jane addressed the crowd as follows; 'Good people, I have come hither to die and by a law I am condemned to the same. The fact, indeed, against the Queen's Highness was unlawful and the consenting thereto by me. But touching the procurement and desire thereof by me or on my behalf I do wash my hands in innocence. Before God and the face of you, good Christian people, this day I pray you all, to bear me witness that I die a true Christian woman, and that I look to be saved by none other means, but only by the mercy of God, in the merits of the blood of his only son, Jesus Christ. And I confess, when I did know the word of God, I neglected the same, loved myself and the world, and thereto the plague or punishment is happily and worthily happened unto me for my sins. And yet, I thank God of His goodness that he hath thus given me a time and respite to repent. And now good people, while I am alive, I pray you to assist me with your prayers.' Jane then recited the fifty-first psalm in English. Dr Feckenham followed in Latin, after which she told him, ' God I beseech Him abundantly reward you for your kindness to me.' Jane gave her gloves and handkerchief to her lady-in-waiting, Mrs Ellen, and handed her prayer book to Sir John Brydges. When she began to untie her gown herself the executioner stepped forward to help, but she brushed him aside. Mrs Ellen helped her to remove her headdress and neckerchief, and dispense with her heavy outer garment. The executioner then knelt and asked for Jane's forgiveness, which she gave 'most willingly.' There followed a five minute silence, whereby officials await a last-minute reprieve from the Monarch.

== The executioner told Jane where to stand. She replied, 'I pray you despatch me quickly.' She began to kneel, then hesitated and said, 'Will you take it off before I lay me down?' The executioner answered, 'No madame.' Jane tied the handkerchief around her eyes. Unable to locate the block, she became anxious, 'Where is it? What shall I do? Where is it?' she asked, her voice faltering. Those who stood upon the scaffold seemed unsure of what to do. 'One of the standers by' climbed the scaffold and helped her to the block. Her last words were, 'Lord, into thy hands I commend my spirit.' After the executioner had completed his task, according to tradition, her head was then held aloft with the words, 'So perish all the Queen's enemies. Behold, the head of a traitor.' == Her body was hastily placed beneath the floor of the Chapel Royal without ceremony. She was 16 years old. Richard Davey writes that Jane could not be buried in the Chapel Royal of St. Peter ad Vincula within the Tower as it had been returned to Catholic worship. Dr. Feckenham rushed to seek the required permission during which time Jane's body is said to have remained exposed. Davey reports that it was seen by the French ambassador four hours later, still upon the scaffold. During this time, according to Davey, Mrs Ellen and Mrs Tylney, Jane's waiting women, were unable to attend to the body. Present day visitors to the Tower of London may enter the chapel as part of the tour led by Yeoman guards.

Ruthin Castle, Denbighshire, North Wales

== Ruthin Castle was a strong baronial castle ordered by Edward I, probably in 1277, though it seems that most of the work took place in 1282. It had two wards, the outer one being smaller than the inner. Five round towers originally guarded the inner ward, but only the remains of three of them are left, together with the ruined double-towered gatehouse.

== The lordship of Dyffryn Clwyd was given to the Grey family in 1282 after Llywelyn's defeat and the end of the principality of North Wales, and the history of the castle until 1400 seems to have been uneventful. When the 15th century began the castle was held by Reynold Grey, 3rd Lord Grey of Ruthin who had previously attempted to acquire, by devious means, the Dee estates of a Welshman named Owain Glyndwr. For a number of years animosity had built up between them, and when Glyndwr was ready to launch his bid for an independent Wales, Ruthin and Lord Grey presented a satisfying target for the first blow. Glyndwr's attack surprised all England and Wales, but nowhere more so than Ruthin, and the town was ravaged and burnt. Ruthin Castle, however, managed to hold out, but the Welsh rebel was not to be done out of his vengeance. Two years later he defeated and English force at Vyrnwy, captured Lord Grey and imprisoned him in Dolbadarn Castle - eventually releasing him for a ransom of 10,000 marks.

== In the Civil War Ruthin Castle resisted an attack by Parliamentary forces, who returned to besiege it two years later in 1646. The Royalist garrison surrendered to Major-General Mytton and the castle was destroyed by order of Parliament. Part of the ruins were incorporated in a large castellated mansion which took the name of the castle, and was at one time the seat of Colonel Cornwallis West, a descendant of Sir Thomas Myddleton who was Lord Mayor of London in 1613, and who subsidised the publication of the first popular Welsh Bible. The mansion is now a luxury hotel, and all the old castle ruins are in the hotel grounds. Medieval banquets are held nightly, except Sundays, in the hotel, and the ruins may be inspected by permission of the hotel management.
