Today’s 60-second history video is on Lord Guildford Dudley, consort of Lady Jane Grey, or Queen Jane. As I’ve explained before, the idea of this 60-second history series is to give information about Tudor history in easy-to-digest 60-second chunks. Die-hard Tudor history fans don’t, of course, need these videos, but I hope they act as […]
