Jane fled to Provence, 1347, and was strangled in 1382. So Mary Stuart fled to England in 1568, and was put to death in 1587 (Old Style). Jane, like Mary, was remarkable for her great beauty, her brilliant court, her voluptuousness, and the men of genius she drew around her; but Jane, like Mary, was also noted for her deplorable administration. (La Harpe wrote a tragedy called Jeanne de Naples (1765). Schiller has an adaptation of it, 1821.) |
