July 10 - Queen Jane and the boy with no ears

On this day in Tudor history, 10th July 1553, Lady Jane Grey was officially proclaimed "Queen Jane" at the Tower of London, in Cheapside and Fleet Street. However, one young man could not keep quiet about his views regarding Mary being the rightful queen and he suffered a nasty punishment as a result.
 
In today's talk, Claire Ridgway, author of several Tudor history books, shares a contemporary account of what happened on that day in London.
