Lady Jane Grey: Inez Or The Bride Of Portugal is a historical fiction novel written by Ross Neil and published in 1871. The book centers around the tragic life of Lady Jane Grey, who was Queen of England for only nine days in 1553.

It then follows her brief reign as Queen of England, which was marked by political turmoil and religious conflict. Lady Jane was eventually deposed by Mary I, who had her imprisoned in the Tower of London. Inez accompanies Lady Jane to the Tower and becomes her loyal friend and supporter during her imprisonment.As the novel progresses, Lady Jane's fate becomes increasingly grim. She is sentenced to death for treason and is eventually executed on the orders of Queen Mary. Inez is devastated by her friend's death but is comforted by the knowledge that Lady Jane died with dignity and courage.Overall, Lady Jane Grey: Inez Or The Bride Of Portugal is a poignant and well-researched novel that brings to life the tragic story of Lady Jane Grey.
