Caption

Attack upon the Brass Mount by Lord Guilford Dudley, 1554 (1840). Dudley was the husband of Lady Jane Grey. He was executed on suspicion of invovement in Sir Thomas Wyatt's rebellion against Queen Mary in 1554, although he was probably not directly involved, certainly not to the extent of leading an assault on the Tower of London, as depicted here. A print from The Tower of London a Historical Romance by William Harrison Ainsworth. (London, 1840).
