Jane Grey and Catherine Howard
Feb 12 2012, 2:08 PM EST | Post edited: Feb 12 2012, 2:08 PM EST
February has been an interesting month for the executions of British Queens. The 425th anniversary of Mary Stuart's execution was this past Wednesday(February 8), today marks the 458th anniversary of the execution of Lady Jane Grey and her husband, Guildford Dudley, and tomorrow is the 470th anniversary of the death of Catherine Howard.Any thoughts on this? Do you find this valuable?

I think I would rather die in cold wintry weather than in May, when Anne Boleyn died. A beautiful warm spring day would make me doubly sad to leave this earth. Do you find this valuable?

LOL As a Brit I have to say our weather is a bit of a lottery. You are as likely to get a miserable cold cloudy day in May as you are a warm sunny one. Do you find this valuable?

Lady Rochford was executed today as well. February was certainly not a lucky month for ladies in the Tudor period. Do you find this valuable?
