Lady Jane Grey Prevailed on to Accept the Crown

Artist: Charles Robert Leslie (American, 1794–1859)

Date: Exhibited 1827

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Tate Britain, London, United Kingdom

Description

The painting depicts the pivotal historical moment when Jane was persuaded to accept the English throne after the death of King Edward VI.

Upon the death of the Protestant King Edward VI in July 1553, powerful nobles—led by the Duke of Northumberland - sought to prevent the Catholic Mary Tudor (Henry VIII's eldest daughter) from taking the throne.

Edward's will named his cousin, the devoutly Protestant Lady Jane Grey, as his successor. Jane was a highly educated and reluctant claimant.

When brought to Syon House and told she was Queen, Jane famously collapsed in distress and sorrow, initially refusing the title. She was eventually prevailed upon by her father-in-law, her mother, and her husband, Lord Guildford Dudley, who presented her with the late king's signed instructions.

Jane yielded and accepted the crown, but her rule lasted only nine days before the Privy Council abandoned her and rallied behind Mary Tudor. Jane was subsequently imprisoned in the Tower of London and later executed for treason.
