This scene took place on 10 Feburary 1554. John Feckenham, confessor to Queen Mary visited Lady Jane Grey in the Tower of London in the hope of converting Jane to the Catholic faith. The debate that took place between the two individuals was documented and apparently signed in Jane's own hand. Within months of her death, printed material containing the famous debate were being produced and circulated to demonstrate Jane's strong religious beliefs in the Protestant faith.
