44 | Grey and her husband, Lord Guildford Dudley, were executed on 12 February
|

45 | 1554 at the Tower of London.&nbsp; The account at right was found in the

49 | father led another rebellion against her rule, she could no longer
|
---|
50 | tolerate the Protestant threat.&nbsp; Also, Philip II of Spain would not

59 | His [Guildford's] carcase thrown into a cart, and his head in a cloth,
|
---|
60 | he was brought to the chapel within the Tower, where the Lady Jane, whose
|
---|
61 | lodging was in Partidge's house, did see his dead carcase taken out of
|
---|
62 | the cart, as well as she did see him before alive on going to his death
|
---|
63 | - a sight to her no less than death.&nbsp;By this time was there a scaffold
|
---|
64 | made upon the green over against the White Tower, for the said Lady Jane
|
---|
65 | to die upon....&nbsp; The said lady, being nothing abashed....with a book
|
---|
66 | in her hand whereon she prayed all the way till she came to the said scaffold....&nbsp;
|
---|
67 | First, when she mounted the said scaffold she said to the people standing
|
---|
68 | thereabout: 'Good people, I am come hither to die, and by a law I am condemned
|
---|
69 | to the same.&nbsp; The fact, indeed, against the queen's highness was unlawful,
|
---|
70 | and the consenting thereunto by me: but touching the procurement and desire
|
---|
71 | thereof by me or on my behalf, I do wash my hands thereof in innocency,
|
---|
72 | before God, and the face of you, good Christian people, this day' and therewith
|
---|
73 | she wrung her hands, in which she had her book.&nbsp; And then, kneeling
|
---|
74 | down, she turned to Feckenham [the dean of St Paul's] saying, 'Shall I
|
---|
75 | say this psalm?'&nbsp; And he said, 'Yea.'&nbsp; Then she said the psalm
|
---|
76 | of <i>Miserere mei Deus</i>, in English, in most devout manner, to the
|
---|
77 | end.&nbsp; Then she stood up and gave...Mistress Tilney her gloves and
|
---|
78 | handkercher, and her book to master Bruges, the lieutenant's brother; forthwith
|
---|
79 | she untied her gown.&nbsp; The hangman went to her to help her therewith;
|
---|
80 | then she desired him to let her alone, and also with her other attire and
|
---|
81 | neckercher, giving to her a fair handkercher to knit about her eyes.
|
---|
82 | <p>Then the hangman kneeled down, and asked her forgiveness, whom she gave
|
---|
83 | most willingly.&nbsp; Then he willed her to stand upon the straw: which
|
---|
84 | doing, she saw the block.&nbsp; Then she said, 'I pray you dispatch me
|
---|
85 | quickly.'&nbsp; Then she kneeled down, saying, 'Will you take it off before
|
---|
86 | I lay me down?' and the hangman answered her, 'No, madame.'&nbsp; She tied
|
---|
87 | the kercher about her eyes; then feeling for the block said, 'What shall
|
---|
88 | I do?&nbsp; Where is it?'&nbsp; One of the standers-by guiding her thereto,
|
---|
89 | she laid her head down upon the block, and stretched forth her body and
|
---|
90 | said: 'Lord, into thy hands I commend my spirit!'&nbsp; And so she ended.<p align="center">&nbsp;<p align="center">
