This is another Woman of History, figured I would do something off my personal to-do list, something for me I guess. This is Queen/Lady Jane Grey. She was known throughout history as the "The Nine Days' Queen". She has an interesting history. She was De-throned on my birthday :D Another who suffered something on my birthday lol!

Sadly she lived a short life around the age of 16-17 she was executed.

This is also being submitted for the Black Gem Challenge in Cute-ee weekly challenge :D

Artwork belongs to me please do not take this.

Gorgeous! I love how you did her face, eyes and hair! :heart: She's one of my favorite Queens too and quoted one of my favorite lines ever too. :heart:

So I went to go read up about her...
what a horrible life.. my son is 17 today... to be killed at 17 ON PURPOSE! Its just horrible...

and to hear this what she had to say about her family..

For when I am in the presence of either Father or Mother, whether I speak, keep silence, sit, stand or go, eat, drink, be merry or sad, be sewing, playing, dancing, or doing anything else, I must do it as it were in such weight, measure and number, even so perfectly as God made the world; or else I am so sharply taunted, so cruelly threatened, yes presently sometimes with pinches, nips and bobs and other ways ... that I think myself in hell.


so sad :cries:

Definitely feel sorry for Jane - she was a bit of a pawn in other people's hands. She had no great wish for the throne herself, but as the eldest of the Grey sisters ended up getting used in power games by default.
She's prettier than in portraits I've seen of her. :) I like her face - one of your better ones I think.
