Praise for Nicola Tallis and Crown of Blood:Īlison Weir: ‘This is a stunning debut from a young historian who deserves to be recognised as a major talent in her field. In this dramatic retelling of an often-misread tale, historian and researcher Nicola Tallis explores a range of evidence that has never before been used in a biography to sweep away the many myths and reveal the moving, human story of an extraordinarily intelligent, independent and courageous young woman’. ![]() Forced on to the throne by the great power players at court, Queen Jane reigned for just thirteen tumultuous days before being imprisoned in the Tower, condemned for high treason and executed. These were the words uttered by the seventeen-year-old Lady Jane Grey as she stood on the scaffold awaiting death on a cold February morning in 1554. Historian and researcher, Nicola Tallis will discuss the human and emotional story that has thus far been ignored, revealing a young woman who saw herself. ![]() ”Good people, I am come hither to die, and by a law I am condemned to the same”. Crown of Blood: The Deadly Inheritance of Lady Jane Grey was released in the UK by Michael O’Mara Books, and in the US by Pegasus in 2016. ![]()
