Though Vesuvius and the Cities, Herculaneum, Stabia and above all Pompeii buried in the eruption of 79CE seem inseparable, they were first brought together by the archaeology, arts, fiction and politics of the Romantic era. Together they have irrevocably shaped our view of the volcano and its victims.
Lady Jane Grey Dudley, ‘the nine-days queen’ of 1553, is unique among English monarchs of the past 550 years in that no authentic portrait of her is known to have survived. This lecture examines some of the better-known images put forward as portraits of Jane Grey, focusing on the recently re-emerged Berry Hill Portrait.
The Proclamation of Accession of Queen Jane (1553) is unique among similar proclamations for its argument supporting the setting aside of Mary and Elizabeth Tudor from the succession. It attempts to persuade of a necessity to preserve monarchy as masculine and implies that Jane’s new husband Guildford Dudley would either rule beside her or in her stead.
