Description

Born the fourth son of the mighty John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, Guildford Dudley was a member of the nobility, but being the fourth son, was by no means deemed particularly significant, that is, until his marriage to the girl who would go on to become England’s shortest reigning monarch, so who was Guildford Dudley, what was his early life like and is there any truth in the theory that he and Jane Grey hated each other?
