Taking a deep breath, I sat at the table where the privy council meetings had just taken place, and I almost wonder if my family has made the right decision. Putting our niece Mary on the throne.

In hindsight, it was a good idea. We could control the crown through Mary since she controlled the king but, we were wrong. Power and religion has certainly gotten to her head. Now she was the one calling the shots and we were merely bystanders.
