Transcriptions of Primary Source Materials on Lady Jane Grey |
Historians and others writing about Lady Jane Grey often cite or refer to source materials that are not readily available to the general public. These include rare books from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and/or books published in languages other than English, plus handwritten manuscripts that have never appeared in print. Those interested in Lady Jane Grey, or in Tudor history more generally, often express interest in reading these original materials but are prevented from doing so by either access issues or language barriers. Students writing papers or working on research projects for high school and university history classes also often express interest in accessing these materials for their studies. The links below will guide the viewer to additional pages of this site on which they will find some of the rare and otherwise unpublished texts and sources useful to both students and fans of Tudor history. |
