Summary:
"This book aims to provide essentially all the known historical information regarding the man, Henry Grey. He descended from a distinguished and noble heritage that produced two queens, and he gave up a quiet and leisurely life to become one of the most powerful and influential men in England. His influence was so strong, that working in alliance with the Duke of Northumberland, he was able to coerce the young and dying King Edward VI to change the order of succession to the crown, placing his daughter, Lady Jane Grey, on the throne when Edward died"--Provided by publisher.
