After the Execution
Richard Davey writes that Jane could not be buried in the Chapel
Royal of St. Peter ad Vincula within the Tower as it had been returned
to Catholic worship. Dr. Feckenham rushed to seek the required permission
during which time Jane's body is said to have remained exposed. Davey reports
that it was seen by the French ambassador four hours later, still upon
the scaffold. During this time, according to Davey, Mrs Ellen and Mrs Tylney,
Jane's waiting women, were unable to attend to the body. From Richard Davey's The
Life of Lady Jane Grey |
