Chapter 1. Jane Gray

                                                                       JANE GRAY

She sought peace in them; all virtues, like fields, 

It is impossible to count up, but it's not enough to lie

The fate was. Her attack -

Forbearance. Her care

Was wise and quiet, like the sky.

Conquering the former, thanks

Guardian, his passions,

She left this world, bearing vain gifts.

But what about waiting for happiness, not taking power under the bridle!

She took the crown to give those people power and rank,

But the burnt and throne gave birth to many routines,

Under the canopy of an invisible spot

They hid good deeds.

William Hoon (1780 - 1842)

   Signed by the portrait of Lady Jane Gray Such a girl saw this man, in all his words coincided with reality, some poets equated Jane's mind to Socrates.

Jane was born in her family estate in Bradgate Park in October 1537, and she was in for a difficult childhood. The exact date of her birth is in fact unknown, but it is assumed that she was born somewhat earlier than Prince Edward, the son of King Henry VIII, for whom it was believed she had to get married in order to become Queen of England. Edward was a just and kind king, it was a really very good pair in the history of mankind: 

THOUGH METEOR MELKNET THIS STEAM IN THE MIDDLE TIMES OF THE MIDDLE AGES, AS THE RAY OF LIGHT AND HOPE WILL GIVE PEOPLE HOPE FOR FAITH IN GOOD AND FAITH VERY BEST.

 Her parents loved her, but despite this they were brought up in strictness. All her life, Jane has not managed to establish close relationships with her parents, which other children enjoy so much. Perhaps this was because her parents - Henry Gray, the Marquis of Dorset, and Francis Brandon, for the most part cared only about themselves. Jane's father ultimately received the title of Duke of Suffolk. Jane spent most of her childhood in the parents' house with her younger sisters - Katerina and Maria.

When Jane was 9 years old, she was introduced to the court. She was under the guardianship of Queen Catherine Parr, the 6th and last wife of King Henry VIII. Here she continued her studies. Surprisingly, she mastered Latin, Greek, French and Italian. These were truly happy times. She was very devoted to Queen Catherine and entered into her trust. At the age of 17 she wrote:

"Live silently to die, so you can have eternal life." As the preacher says, there is a time for everything - for life and for death, but the day of our death is better than the day of our appearance on God's light. "

When the time comes to say these words, the faith that she brought up in her early years becomes at that moment her most faithful ally.

Here is how the lady Jane Baptista Spinola described, a Genoese merchant who lived in England 1553.

"She is very short and thin, but she is beautiful and elegant, she has delicate features and a right nose, a flexible mouth and red lips." The eyebrows are arched and darker in color than her hair, almost red. , they give red in bright light. "

 This is one of the few reliable descriptions of Jane's appearance that can be found in the sources of English history.

Such a description reflects her character. While Jane was at court, Catherine Parr was married again, this time for Thomas Seymour, and agreed that Jane would be taken care of by the Seymour. It was common practice for all of England to send children for upbringing in richer and noble families. Jane's parents also hoped that this would somehow contribute to her marriage to Prince Edward. Thus Jane, like her younger sisters Katerina Gray and Maria Gray, was King Henry VIII's grand-niece. She should not have become a queen. The girl was not prepared for this, and no one prepared her for the throne. Henry VIII provided himself with a sufficient number of heirs. From the earliest childhood, she cared more for her own development and perfection than anything else. After the Reformation, conducted by Henry VIII, the church ceased to be a monopolist in education, and women were given the opportunity to engage in not only education and household chores, but also self-education. Of course, only aristocrats could afford it.

 Not all of this could be allowed, but among the Englishwomen of the 16th century, researchers numbered a dozen highly educated women (including the daughter of Thomas More, the Chancellor of England). They not only sang, danced, played musical instruments, but also freely read Latin and Greek, spoke Italian and French. Jane Gray stood out even against their background. She was a very smart girl, a kind of role model: Latin, Greek, French and Italian. She knew them all. She taught them all in her childhood, later adding this list to the knowledge of Spanish and Arabic. It seemed to her that she did not know much, so she mastered the Babylonian, Jewish and Arabic languages.

Reading was one of the few entertainments for Jane. Raised in the strict mores of Puritanism, she practically did not take part in the secular life. In addition, she was distinguished by kindness, lenient morality and religiosity. Jane was brought up in the Protestant faith, and her entire environment was hostile to Catholicism.

Since childhood she has loved astronomy. Jane could sit all day and admire the vast space of the universe, realizing how useless people are before this majestic element - the Cosmos.

But her childhood was not happy, she often had to face her father's despotism and her mother's cruelty. Lady Francis used educational measures very cruel, often resorted to beatings. Devoid of maternal love and care, Jane found solace in art classes, read books and studied ancient languages. Faced with the cruelty of the parents, the young Jane swore to God that when she had children, she would love and protect them and would never beat and scream at them, as it does in her family. Yes, it is possible that education plays a role here, perhaps, so her parents want to raise their daughter in strict standards, perhaps preparing for the throne. Although at the moment there can be no question of the throne, Jane is too young, and she does not get on the first number of the list of succession to the throne. It is clear that neither Lady Francis nor Henry Gray will not give up power, but they can only dream about it. Although, who knows how the future will put everything. Who knows..
