Mary's marriage to Phillip of Spain made more problems than it solved, including Spain's demand for the execution of Jane (and Elizabeth was later very harsh to Jane's two younger sisters).

Interesting! I can't remember if the book included that detail - probably, but maybe I missed it! It linked Jane's execution more to the Wyatt Rebellion related to Elizabeth also providing pressure on Mary to remove other contenders for the throne.
