Jane, Katherine and Mary Grey were the three sisters who, via their mother, were royal princesses of the house of Tudor. Jane, the eldest, is of course famous as the nine days queen, with her life ending on the executioners scaffold, the stories of her younger sisters are far less well known, despite their prominence at the royal court and the dramas that both women would go through. Today, I am pleased to welcome historian and author Leanda de Lisle onto the show for a discussion all about these three, fascinating sisters. What were their early days like, who did they marry, and why did these marriages result in both sisters spending time in prison?
