Early life and first marriage

Frances spent her childhood in the care of her mother. She was also close to her aunt-by-marriage Catherine of Aragon, first queen consort to Henry VIII. She was a childhood friend of her first cousin, Mary Tudor (later Mary I of England). Mary was opposed to the annulment of the marriage of Henry VIII and Catherine in 1533. She never accepted Anne Boleyn as a legitimate wife or queen of England. Frances also considered Anne a usurper but was less vocal about her thoughts. Katherine of Aragon (Alcalá de Henares, 16 December 1485 – 7 January 1536), Castilian Infanta Catalina de Aragón y Castilla, also known popularly after her time as Catherine of Aragon, was the first wife and Queen Consort of Henry VIII of England. ...

Her first two pregnancies resulted in the births of a son and daughter who died young. These were followed by three surviving daughters:

• Lady Jane Grey (October 12?, 1537 – February 12, 1554).
• Lady Catherine Grey (August 1540 – January 26, 1568).
• Lady Mary Grey (1545 – April 20, 1578).

Frances is considered to have been a strong and energetic woman and a domineering wife and mother. She was in her own right a political schemer with a taste for wealth and political influence. Her residence in Bradgate was a minor palace in Tudor style. After the death of her two brothers, the title Duke of Suffolk reverted to the crown, and was then granted to her husband as a new creation.

She had high expectations for her daughters and made certain they received equal education to the daughters of Template:Henry VIII, the Princesses Mary and Elizabeth (later Elizabeth I of England). Her daughters were associated with both princesses on relatively equal terms; indeed, the Greys led a more luxurious life than either Princess. This article is about Elizabeth I of England. ...

Scheming for her daughter

Frances' personality clashed with her daughters' disposition. She was a hard, materialistic woman who did not give in to 'foolish sentiments.' They, in contrast, were easy going, gentle, and timid; qualities that irritated and angered their mother. The youngest, Mary, was deformed, being hunch-backed and dwarfed. Frances was alternatively indifferent and abusive toward her daughters. She was active at the court of Henry VIII and was on friendly terms with his sixth wife Catherine Parr. It was through her friendship with the Queen that Frances's husband Henry, Duke of Suffolk secured a wardship for their daughter. There Jane came into contact with Prince Edward (later Edward VI of England), son of Henry VIII and half-brother of Mary and Elizabeth. Catherine Parr or Jane Grey Catherine Parr (c. ...

Henry VIII died on January 28, 1547, and Edward succeeded to the throne. Jane followed the queen dowager, Catherine Parr, to her new residence. She was soon established as a member of the inner circle of the young king. Edward was unmarried and childless and Frances found herself third in line for the English throne following Princesses Mary and Elizabeth.

Meanwhile Catherine Parr was married to Thomas Seymour, 1st Baron Seymour of Sudeley, Lord High Admiral. Jane again followed the queen dowager to her new household. Frances soon started scheming with her husband and Baron Seymour on the prospect of arranging a marriage between the king and Jane Grey. The two adolescents were reportedly already close. The success of this scheme would secure the succession of Edward VI, and the Greys would gain further influence over Edward VI and any issue of the marriage would be their own family member. Baron Seymour would benefit in undermining his older brother, Lord Protector Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset who was seeking a queen consort for Edward VI among the daughters of Francis I of France and Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor.

Catherine Parr gave birth to her daughter Mary Seymour on August 30, 1548. Complications in childbirth resulted in her death on September 7, 1548. Frances did not trust her eldest daughter alone with Baron Seymour and recalled her home. Baron Seymour on the other hand pressed the Greys with demands that he still held Jane's wardship and that Jane should be returned to his household. The Greys surrendered to the inevitable and Jane was returned to Seymour's household and was moved in to the late Catherine Parr's apartments. is the 242nd day of the year (243rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Seymour still planned to convince Edward VI to marry Jane. But the king had grown distrustful of either of his two uncles. An increasingly desperate Seymour invaded the king's bedchamber in an attempt to abduct him, and shot the young King's beloved dog when the animal tried to protect its master. This ill-considered attempt only resulted in his execution on March 10, 1549. March 10 is the 69th day of the year (70th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

The Greys convinced the Privy Council of their innocence in Seymour's scheme. Jane was again recalled home. The Greys lost all hope of marrying her to Edward VI. They contemplated marrying her instead to Edward Seymour, 1st Earl of Hertford, son of the Lord Protector and Anne Stanhope. However the Lord Protector fell from power and was replaced by John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland. The Greys soon declared their allegiance to the new Lord Protector. They successfully arranged for Jane to be married to his youngest son Lord Guilford Dudley.

Mother to a Queen regnant

The marriage occurred on May 15, 1553. Northumberland had a greater scheme in mind. Edward VI was dying and was considering the matter of his own succession. The young king was a firm believer in the practices of Anglicanism. His half-sister Mary was an equally firm believer in those of the Roman Catholic Church. Her accession would likely end the Protestant Reformation in her domains. Northumberland arranged for the will of the dying King to exclude both Princesses Mary and Elizabeth under the pretext of both being bastards, on the grounds that Henry VIII had his marriages to their respective mothers Catherine of Aragon annulled and Anne Boleyn executed for high treason (though at the time both daughters remained in the line of succession). Their removal from the succession would make Frances the heiress presumptive of the King. Frances was convinced to agree to renounce her own rights to the throne in favour of Jane. The throne would thus pass to Jane and any male issue from her marriage to Guilford. is the 135th day of the year (136th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... // Events June 26 - Christs Hospital in London gets a Royal Charter July 6 - Edward VI of England dies July 10 - Lady Jane Grey is proclaimed Queen of England - for the next nine days July 18 - Lord Mayor of London proclaims Queen Mary as the rightful Queen - Lady Jane Grey...

Edward VI died on July 6, 1553. Jane was declared queen regnant on July 10. Frances had finally succeeded in becoming the mother of a Queen. The Greys and Dudleys exercised considerable influence over the youthful monarch and planned to rule through her. However, their success was short-lived.

Life at court

Mary I, however, again favoured her cousin Frances with her pardon. She was apparently unwilling to execute her childhood friend. Frances and her two surviving daughters settled in court. Mary I made a point of placing them by her side, favoured but kept under the observation of the queen. Frances shocked the court when, less than a month after her daughter was beheaded and only three weeks after her own husband met the same fate, she married again.

• A son (December, 1556), stillborn.

Frances' luck seemed to run out with the death of the childless Mary I on November 17, 1558. Princess Elizabeth acceded to the throne as Queen Elizabeth I of England. She had little reason to trust a first cousin who never accepted her as a legitimate child of Henry VIII.
