Lady Jane Poster

 If anyone has seen this let me know what you thought of it....It's Lady Jane gone romantic. I'm wondering how clean and how historically acurate it is. She very much intrests me. Reading her story about brings you to tears, sept I don't cry at history or movies that easy (Don't worry I'm not heartless just don't weep in front of people.....very often). I have been interested in her since my Dad found an article about her in a magazine once, then I read a book about  the young Queen Elizabeth, and today I was just doing my history and doing som research when I found this movie. Then I read Cary Elwes was in it and alas can't help but want to see it now. I'm sure though if I do see it....I'll cry.

  1. I'm not sure about that Lady Jane movie...I looked at pictures and there are some dark ones with him shirtless...one in a bed, but I think they were clothed.
    Look this up: Forgotten Martyr, The Lady Jane Grey. It is Dove approved for all ages on christiancinema.com. :)

  2. I started part of it....they are married and don't show anything at all. BUT, however they aren't married in real life. So those parts might be best left out. Have you read my post about her? http://medievalfixation.blogspot.com/2012/01/lady-jane-grey-queen-of-england-for.html
    But anyway the movie isn't acurate. It's just got Cary Elwes in it. lol
