48 | of Jane Grey's coronation was written by Henry Machyn, a London undertaker.</font><p>
|
---|
49 | <font size="2">Jane was the great-niece of King Henry VIII.&nbsp; She is
|
---|
50 | famous as the 'Nine Days' Queen', for she ruled for that small amount of
|
---|
51 | time in July 1553.&nbsp; Her reign was the direct result of the duke of
|
---|
52 | Northumberland's ambition.&nbsp; When it was clear that King Edward VI was
|
---|
53 | dying, Northumberland married Jane to his son, Guildford.&nbsp; As the
|
---|
54 | leading Protestant nobleman, he could not accept the rule of Henry VIII's
|
---|
55 | Catholic daughter, Mary.&nbsp; Nor did he wish to lose the power he
|
---|
56 | amassed during Edward's reign.&nbsp; Under the term of Henry's will, Mary
|
---|
57 | was to follow Edward upon the throne.&nbsp; Northumberland urged Edward VI
|
---|
58 | to write his own will, settling the succession upon his Protestant cousin
|
---|
59 | Jane instead.&nbsp; The young king did so.</font></p>

65 | <p>On 6 July died the noble King Edward VI, in the seventh year of his
|
---|
66 | reign, son and heir to the noble King Henry VIII.&nbsp; And he was poisoned,
|
---|
67 | as everybody says, for which now, thanks be to God, there are many of the
|
---|
68 | false traitors brought to their end, and I trust God that more will follow
|
---|
69 | as they may be spied out.
|
---|
70 | <p>On 7 July a proclamation was made that all penthouses should be no lower
|
---|
71 | than 10 foot, and all private lights be condemned.
|
---|
72 | <p>The same day an old man was set on the pillory for counterfeit, false
|
---|
73 | writings.
|
---|
74 | <p>The same day there came to the Tower the lord treasurer, the earl of
|
---|
75 | Shrewsbury, and the lord admiral with others; and there they discharged
|
---|
76 | Sir James Croft of the constableship of the Tower, and there they put in
|
---|
77 | the said lord admiral, and he took his oath and charge of the Tower, and
|
---|
78 | the next day after he conveyed into all places in the Tower and... great
|
---|
79 | guns, such as the White Tower on high.
|
---|
80 | <p>On 9 July all the head officers and the guard were sworn to Queen Jane
|
---|
81 | as queen of England.... daughter of the duke of Suffolk, and served as
|
---|
82 | queen of....
|
---|
83 | <p>The following day queen Jane was received into the Tower with a great
|
---|
84 | company of lords and nobles of... after the queen, and the duchess of Suffolk
|
---|
85 | her mother, bearing her train, with many ladies, and there was a firing
|
---|
86 | of guns and chamber such as has not often been seen, between 4 and 5 o'clock;
|
---|
87 | by 6 o'clock began the proclamation on the same afternoon of Queen Jane,
|
---|
88 | with two heralds and a trumpet blowing, declaring that Lady Mary was unlawfully
|
---|
89 | begotten, and so went through Cheapside to Fleet Street, proclaiming Queen
|
---|
90 | Jane.&nbsp; And there was a young man taken at that time for speaking certain
|
---|
91 | words about Queen Mary, that she had the true title.
|
---|
92 | <p>On 11 July, at 8 o'clock in the morning the young man was set on the
|
---|
93 | pillory for speaking this, and both his ears were cut off.&nbsp; There
|
---|
94 | was a herald and a trumpeter blowing, and he was quickly taken down.&nbsp;
|
---|
95 | And the same day the young man's master, dwelling at St John's Head, whose
|
---|
96 | name was Sandur Onyone, and another Master Owen, a gun-maker at London
|
---|
97 | Bridge, living at Ludgate, were drowned.
|
---|
98 | <p>On 12 July by night were carried to the Tower 3 carts full of all manner
|
---|
99 | of ordnance, such as great guns and small, bows, bills, spears, morrish
|
---|
100 | pikes, armour, arrows, gunpowder and stakes, money, tents and all manner
|
---|
101 | of ordnance, a great number of cannon balls, and a great number of men
|
---|
102 | at arms; and it was for a great army near Cambridge; and two days after
|
---|
103 | the duke and various lords and knights went with him, and many gentlemen
|
---|
104 | and gunners, and many men of the guard and men of arms towards Lady Mary's
|
---|
105 | grace, to destroy her grace, and so to Bury, and all was against him, for
|
---|
106 | his men forsook him.<p align="center">&nbsp;<p align="center"><font size="2">
