She also treated her cousin's, Lady jane Grey's sister extremely harshly when they wed without her permission, but she really did fear Mary and she was set up by Elizabeth's puritan ministers who hated Mary and did not rest until she was put to death as they could not risk having a catholic Mary inherit the throne!!!rosalinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996282166266590226.post-43582301121641902562013-01-30T10:07:08.073-05:002013-01-30T10:07:08.073-05:00As usual I must chide you Anthony. I do think that...As usual I must chide you Anthony. I do think that QE1 was very jealous of Marie, but not for the reasons you state. She certainly was jealous of her son, but she was the one who sent Darnley to Scotland knowing what a cad a degenerate he was.I suspect she had a hand in his murder, as she had many of the Lairds on her payroll. She put Mary on trial in England for this murder with no lawyer and furnishing evidence through the casket letters that her people forged. She made Mary suffer needlessly, when she could of returned her to France where she was still a dowager Queen with lands and money. She usurped her son James at an early age, educating him into a strict puritanical religion, and cut off all contact between Mother and son. She then bribed him and convinced him to forgive the fact that she murdered his Mother in cold blood. I think E was terrified of Mary from the get go. She was the darling of France, beautiful charming, and backed by a strong dynasty of Catholic European leaders.Half of England particularly in the north was still Catholic, and so she must bring a protestant heir to the throne. Mary had a much stronger claim to the English throne than she did. She was fulfilling the rightful heir to the throne's son because he was Protestant. Through her action she did achieve her goal... to make England Protestant till the end of time. And it still is today, as no Catholic shall be allowed to reign in England. Elizabeth was a very singleminded successful woman when it came ti intrigue, getting her way, paying off people and entrapping a woman who held absolutely no animosity towards her. She is like the thief that only feels guilty when their caught.<br />Jantudorcrazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00230014756150204510noreply@blogger.com
