There's a famous Mary Stokes from the 1900s.

Heading

edit

I believe she was not universally always known as Lady, and I believe she is recognizable without it. Therefore "Lady" shuld not be included in the article title (as the requirement for such inclusion is: person if universally recognised with it and their name is unrecognisable without it). It seems to me that recently, there has been sort of campaign by some users to put titulary into headings, without any solid support from naming conventions, and this here apparently is a part of such campaign.

I disagree. This woman is known as "Lady Mary Grey" in every book in which I've ever heard her mentioned. Her sisters are always known as "Lady Jane Grey" and "Lady Catherine Grey" whenever they are mentioned. - CassieBlue 06/20/2006 4:33pmEST

She would have been "Princess Mary Grey" had her grand-mother, also briefly the Queen of France,not become embroiled in an dispute with her brother, Henry VIII. I also beieve that she was the mother of Thomas Kys whom was the spokesperson for the authors known as William Shakespeare. -Philip Havey 9/16/06

I should also add that, despite her awkward situation, she was the Elizabeth I's heir appearent between 1568 and 1578.- Ph

'Appearant'? Not familiar with that word.

Birthdate

edit

I am convinced the birth year is wrong for Mary Grey. How can she be born 11 months after her father's death? Being born that late would have been highly unusual and unlikely. Unless her legitimacy is questionable, I think her birth year must be 1544!--I am the Blood 22:09, 20 November 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blood3 (talkcontribs)

Ignore this last comment. I read 1555 rather than 1545.--I am the Blood 22:12, 20 November 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blood3 (talkcontribs)
