Book Description

Excerpt from Jane the Quene, Being Some Account of the Life and Literary Remains of Lady Jane Dudley, Commonly Called Lady Jane Grey Her education was consigned to the tender care and teaching of John Aylmer, * chaplain to the household at Bradgate, where this divine, who, in after days, was to wear a mitre, had taken refuge at an asylum during the last years of Henry VIII., when the new-born Anglican ism was struggling against the hard-dying medieval Church. Bearing a deep affection for this learned priest, Lady Jane was never happy unless in his company, seeking to acquire from him further knowledge. By Aylmer she was, at an unusually early age, instructed in the Greek, French, and Latin tongues. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
