The House of Dudley by Joanne Paul

 

The Dudley family's successes and misfortunes seemed to depend on the whims of the Tudor Kings and Queen during tumultuous times. Both Queen Elizabeth and the last male member of the Dudley family died without descendants. Robert Dudley is best known for his romance with Queen Elizabeth which never resulted in the marriage he had hoped for. 

Robert's younger brother, Guildford Dudley, came to a dramatic end after marrying Lady Jane Grey who became queen of England for a mere nine days following a rebellion by her father to crown his daughter.  She was consequently unthroned by Henry VIII 's daughter, Mary. Both Guildford and Lady Jane were beheaded at the Tower of London.
