Lady Jane Grey Was Queen For Nine Days. The Autopsy Showed How She Really Died

Lady Jane Grey Was Queen For Nine Days. The Autopsy Showed How She Really Died On the twelfth of February, fifteen fifty-four, a girl of sixteen or seventeen was beheaded inside the walls of the Tower of London. She had been Queen of England for nine days. Three centuries later, the most thorough examination that chapel would ever receive went looking for her body in the place of honour where it was certain to lie. It found the woman who was queen before her. It found the man who put her on the throne. It did not find her. The death itself is not a mystery. She was taken with a single stroke. What the record has never read correctly is why that one stroke fell as clean as it did, when the same blade butchered older women a few steps away, and what the painting the world remembers gets wrong about the girl beneath the blindfold. In this video, I reconstruct the execution of Lady Jane Grey from a scaffold with no body left to examine. On the single stroke, on the young neck it fell on, and on the one grave in England that was opened, searched, and found empty. Would you sign the fastest, cleanest death in this whole Tudor line to the youngest and least guilty of them all? Tell me what you see in the evidence. I read every comment. If the body discussed in this video had come in for examination last Tuesday, the report would read substantially as presented here.
