Editing Lord Guildford Dudley (section)

==Imprisonment==
On 10&nbsp;July, the same day as Jane's [[proclamation]], a letter from Mary Tudor arrived in London, saying that she was now queen and demanding the obedience of the Council.<ref>Chapman 1962 p. 122</ref> Mary was assembling her supporters in [[East Anglia]]; it was decided to take the field against her after some discussion over who should go, in which Jane made sure that her father should not.<ref>Ives 2009 p. 198</ref> The Duke of Northumberland marched to [[Cambridge]] with his troops and passed a week that saw no action until he heard on 20&nbsp;July that the Council in London had declared for Mary. Northumberland proclaimed Mary Tudor himself at the marketplace and was arrested the next morning.<ref>Ives 2009 pp. 246, 241–242, 243–244</ref> On 19&nbsp;July, a few hours before Queen Mary I's proclamation in London, the baptism of one of the [[Gentlemen Pensioners|Gentlemen Pensioner]]s' children took place. Jane had agreed to be the [[godparent|godmother]] and wished the child's name to be Guildford.<ref name="Ives p. 215">Ives 2009 p. 215</ref> The Bishop of Winchester, [[Stephen Gardiner]], who had been imprisoned in the Tower for five years, took great offence at this fact as he heard of it.<ref>Ives 2009 pp. 184, 241</ref>

A majority of the Privy Council moved out of the Tower before switching their allegiance.<ref>Ives 2009 p. 214</ref> Becoming aware of his colleagues' change of mind, Jane's father, the [[Henry Grey, Duke of Suffolk|Duke of Suffolk]], abandoned his command of the fortress and proclaimed Mary I on nearby [[Tower Hill]]. After he had left, his wife was told she could also go home,<ref name="Ives p. 215"/> while Jane, Guildford, and the Duchess of Northumberland were not allowed to.<ref name="Ives p. 241">Ives 2009 p. 241</ref> Jane was later moved from the royal apartments to the Gentleman Gaoler's lodgings and Guildford was imprisoned in the Bell Tower. There he was soon joined by his brother, [[Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester|Robert]].<ref>Ives 2009 p. 249; Wilson 1981 p. 59</ref> His remaining brothers were imprisoned in other towers, as was his father, who was for the moment the only prominent person to go to the [[Decapitation|scaffold]]; Mary was prepared to spare Jane's and Guildford's lives, concluding that they were mere pawns in Northumberland's scheme.<ref>Wilson 1981 pp. 59, 62, 63</ref>

Jane and Guildford were [[Indictment|indicted]] on 12&nbsp;August,<ref>Ives 2009 p. 247</ref> and Jane submitted a letter of explanation to the Queen, "asking forgiveness ... for the sin she was accused of, informing her majesty about the truth of events."<ref>Ives 2009 p. 18</ref> In this account, she spoke of herself as "a wife who loves her husband".<ref>Ives 2009 p. 186</ref> On 13 November 1553, Jane and Guildford were tried at [[Guildhall, London|Guildhall]], together with [[Archbishop of Canterbury|Archbishop]] [[Thomas Cranmer|Cranmer]] and Guildford's brothers [[Ambrose Dudley, 3rd Earl of Warwick|Ambrose]] and Henry. They were all convicted of [[high treason]] after pleading guilty.<ref>Nichols 1850 p. 32; Ives 2009 pp. 251–252</ref> Guildford was convicted of compassing to depose Queen Mary I by sending troops to the Duke of Northumberland and by proclaiming and honouring Jane as queen.<ref>Bellamy 1979 p. 54</ref>

In December, Jane was allowed to walk freely in the Queen's Garden.<ref>Ives 2009 pp. 252, 355</ref> Lord Robert and Lord Guildford had to be content with taking the air on the leads of the Bell Tower.<ref>Nichols 1850 p. 33</ref> Jane and Guildford may have had some contact with each other,<ref>Ives 2009 p. 252; Wilson 1981 p. 59</ref> and at some point Guildford wrote a message to his father-in-law in Jane's prayer book: <blockquote>
Your loving and obedient son wishes unto your grace long life in this world with as much joy and comfort as ever I wish to myself, and in the world to come joy everlasting. Your humble son to his death, G. Dudley<ref name="Ives p. 185"/>
