John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, was arrested at Cambridge on 24 July 1553 after his forces deserted him and the Privy Council in London switched allegiance to Mary. He publicly recanted his Protestantism at Great St Marys church and was taken to the Tower of London. His arrest ended the brief reign of Lady Jane Grey. The Cambridge arrest was the culmination of the collapse of the Edwardian Protestant regime.
