This dissertation examines the life of Lady Jane Grey in order to understand her actions during her brief reign as Queen of England in July 1553. Carefully distinguishing between authentic and reliable primary sources and near-contemporary propaganda, it seeks to establish a more authentic analysis of Jane and her actions. Although Jane was, in a broader Tudor context, unusually well educated, her classical education resembled that of a handful of aristocratic girls in her generation, but its content led her to emphasize the role of political leadership. Contrary to later assertions, Jane was not an extraordinarily pious Protestant, nor was she perceived as such by her contemporaries. Her acceptance of Protestantism developed gradually, and by her last years she was committed to that faith. Jane's family interactions were tense, and she may have resisted her marriage to Guildford Dudley. This study further argues that once Jane accepted the crown, she drew upon the sense of personal authority she had acquired through her humanist education and her religious studies to assert her right to reign without naming her husband as co-ruler. Though her reign was brief, she participated actively and shaped events. Upon losing the crown, she transferred her sense of authority to religious expression, thereby retaining her "voice." Jane's eventual execution came as a consequence so prevalent in Tudor England of the interdependence between the spheres of politics and religion. Lastly, this dissertation concludes by analyzing the evolution of a fictionalized Jane as a historical and literary figure in an effort to explain the persistent popularity of a short-lived and failed queen, as well as the impact of the resulting myth on both popular biographical and academic historiographical descriptions of her, both of which repeat the legend of Jane Grey as an innocent puppet manipulated by her father, John Dudley, and the Privy Council.Subjects--Topical Terms:
