In this video, I want to address a theory that now and again circulates on social media and YouTube—the claim that this naturally mummified head found in a London church in 1852 is the head of Henry Grey, Duke of Suffolk, the father of Lady Jane Grey – Queen for Nine Days and one of the most prominent men in Tudor England.
In this short video, I will explore where this bizarre idea came from. I will then talk about the rather sinister and scandalous event that took place in the burial vaults of the church where this head was found —and why that awful event makes it much more likely that this is the head of Mr Green the Grocer from 18th-century Stepney than that of a Tudor Duke.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
