The Grey Women: Lady Jane, Her Mother & Sisters
<p>What happens when women are born too close to the throne?</p><br><p>In this episode of Heroine City, Lynsey Shaw is joined by historian and bestselling author Leanda de Lisle to uncover the lives of the Grey women - Lady Jane Grey, Katherine Grey, Mary Grey, and their mother, Frances Brandon.</p><br><p>Often reduced to a single tragic headline, Jane’s story is only the beginning. Together, the Grey sisters’ lives reveal a far more complex and deeply human story of ambition, love, constraint, and survival in the high-stakes world of the Tudor court.</p><br><p>From Jane’s short and reluctant reign to Katherine’s secret marriage and imprisonment, and Mary’s often overlooked resilience, this episode explores what it meant to be a woman with royal blood in a world that offered power, but at a devastating cost.</p><br><p>Drawing on Leanda’s groundbreaking research, we move beyond myth to meet the real women behind the history - and ask why their stories still matter today.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
