What did Edward VI and Lady Jane Grey look like?

-Nobody knows!



There were no cameras in Tudor times. People's images reported in Wiki and the like were based on portraits painted by artists. Unfortunately artists did not get paid if the portraits were unflattering to the sitter.



If you remember, Henry VIII agreed to marry Anne of Cleves based on a portrait sent to him. When he actually saw her and she looked nothing like her portrait she was dubbed "The Flander''s Mare".



When the artist advised Oliver Cromwell that he would improve his looks in his work - Cromwell told the artist to paint "Warts and all".



Therefore what I am saying is when you see portraits of Lady Jane Grey and Edward VI you may get a general idea of size but totally ignore any facial features. They almost certainly will not just have been "touched up" to improve like a modern day photograph, but instead probably totally fabricated to flatter the sitter.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Portra鈥?/a>
