Some Grey Matter

Some Grey Matter' is about Lady Jane Grey,
England 'nine-days queen' of 1553.

It will also eventually address Tudor-Stuart history, women's history, and general European history. Over time, I will be adding bits and pieces of my research and writing on Jane Grey and these other topics.

The latest major additions to this site include pages devoted to primary source materials useful to whose wishing to conduct research on Lady Jane Grey. The Primary Source Bibliography is a listing of all of the manuscripts and early printed books that I have found thus far that contain material relevant to Jane Grey. Many, if not most, of these items are not available to the general public, however, and can be accessed only by visiting the appropriate archive in which they are deposited, e.g., the British National Archives or the British Library. Primary Source Transcriptions will direct you to additional pages on which I have posted transcriptions of some of these relatively inaccessible materials. If you have interest in or need for a particular item listed in the Primary Source Bibliography but do not find it on the Transcriptions pages, let me know and I will prioritize it among forthcoming additions (assuming it is not a copyrighted item).
