Talk:The Execution of Lady Jane Grey

Untitled
The reference to Charles X is incorrect. This painting was executed in 1833, three years after Charles had abdicated the throne (August 2, 1830); the Orléanist claimant to the throne, Louis-Philippe, ruled France from 1830 to 1848. Perhaps this work was originally conceived in the reign of Charles X, but it was not painted or displayed during his reign.

The article is also inaccurate in the claim that the painting is inaccurate about the setting. Royal Executions on Tower Green took place in a building that has since been since been demolished so the depiction of the scene being inside is correct.Piersmasterson (talk) 16:45, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

→Piersmasterson -- can you source that? I have never heard of a building on Tower Green used for executions. Lizbetann (talk) 05:33, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Jane's father's backing
From this article: "It was Mary who was the overwhelmingly popular choice among the English people, so much so that Jane's father backed her." The Duke of Suffolk did back down when it became clear that Mary was the popular choice for queen. However, to characterize Jane's father as having backed Mary over Jane is flat-out inaccurate. (He also later participated in a rebellion to try to over-throw Mary and was eventually executed for that rebellion. Said rebellion also triggered Jane's execution.) Unless anyone has a serious quarrel with this, I am removing that line as inaccurate and misleading. Lizbetann (talk) 05:43, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
