Jane's father was executed but Jane was spared, and wasn't especially a figurehead for further machinations (because the plotters had other preferred candidates), until the Spanish insisted on Jane's execution as part of Mary's marriage to Philip of Spain iirc.

I think most popular media retells the story the way you remembered it so it's not surprising people think that's what happened. :-)
