About this book

The reign of Mary Tudor is a history of England by James Anthony Froude. The text describes Jane sending for Arundel and Pembroke and telling them that it was not for her to appoint kings. Guilford is said to have cried like a spoilt child that he would be no duke, he would be a king.

Dudley's kingship is said to have been set aside for the moment, and soon forgotten in more alarming matters. The text says that two mighty princes believed themselves justified in the sight of Heaven in squandering their subjects' treasure and their subjects' blood, because the pride of each forbade him to be the first in volunteering insignificant concessions. The text lists territories, saying the emperor held Lombardy, Parma, and Naples, and Navarre was annexed to Spain.
