Message from Leanda de Lisle and Ask a question until 19th April!

'I would like to apologise to everyone who was disappointed by the cancellation of my appearance at the Sunday Times Literary Festival. Unfortunately I have a massive prolapse of a lower disc in my spine and my doctor was very insistent that I not travel. I am grateful to Tamise to have the opportunity to answer any questions any of you have about my book, The Sisters Who Would be Queen; the tragedy of Mary, Katherine & Lady Jane Grey.

Best wishes,

Leanda de Lisle.’

Lady Jane Grey portraits

What do you think of the minature that Starkey has claimed to be of Lady Jane Grey? Do you aggree or dissagree?
Do you think the streatham portrait is the real Lady Jane?
I am interested in Lady Jane grey.

Queen Jane Grey

If Lady Jane Grey had remained queen, how do you think would her reign have differed from that of her cousins Mary and Elizabeth Tudor? How would her Protestant beliefs have influenced her policy?
How do you think Jane's trial and execution affected her sisters and also how it coloured their future behaviour towards the Queen, as in disobeying Elizabeth over her consent for them to marry?
Had Queen Mary actually pardoned Jane, how do you think Mary would have treated her? Would she have kept her at court, in the Tower or under house arrest as she did her sister? I can't imagine Mary would have allowed her to remain free.

Thank you
What are your plans for future books?

Are you going to stick with the Tudor Era?

What is the hardest aspect of writing a non-fiction book?

Do you think you would ever consider writing Fiction?

(I reviewed your first book on my blog also; this one is on my wish list)
