Queens Podcast

Could you imagine being the Queen of England for a week and 2 days? Would it be worth losing your head over? Probably not, but unfortunately, Lady Jane Grey wasn’t given much choice, thanks to the folks she called family. Perhaps doomed from the start because of her overly ambitious parents, at least they gave her a decent education before they married her off to Guildford Dudley in a plot for the throne. Join us in this maiden voyage of Queens Podcast where we discuss the life of Lady Jane Grey, The Nine Days Queen while drinking a Greyhound cocktail.Time stamps: 02:25 Early Life and Family Background10:24 Education and Intellectual Prowess13:06 Religious Zeal and Political Turmoil18:28 Tragic Events and Family Dynamics22:14 The Line of Succession and Jane's Reluctance23:39 Jane's Marriage and Dudley's Plot26:26 Jane's Reluctant Ascension to the Throne30:16 Mary Tudor's Response and Jane's Imprisonment33:22 Jane's Execution and Legacy41:33 Research Sources and New Segment Introduction42:07 This Week in Bad and Bougie: Lady Godiva46:18 Conclusion and Next Episode TeaserQueens podcast is part of Airwave Media podcast network.
