You can read more about Wyatt's Rebellion here.

You can read the record of the dialogue between Jane and Dr Feckenham in John Foxe's Book of Martyrs on Archive.org page 550 onwards. Her letter to her former tutor, Dr Harding, can be found on page 553.

My article sharing a primary source account of Jane and Guildford can be found here.

The Chronicle of Queen Jane and of two years of Queen Mary, and especially of the rebellion of Sir Thomas Wyat, a primary source, can also be found on Archive.org.
