Her story is told in the text shown above. Written by Carolly Erickson, and first published in 1978, it presents the period of English history that reflects conflict between the Church of Rome and a recently separated Protestant nation. The complexity of this conflict present the genealogist with a bundle of "brick walls". My own Jones family participated in a number of ways during this reign. Understanding this context removed several brick walls for my own tree climbing. Her reign [1553 - 1558] would make her " a symbol of tyranny". Which side of the fence did your family reside? Understanding this reign helped me connect all kinds of branches on my own family tree. This book provides a window into this period of time.
