" And if you throw in the divine right of kings, which possibly Charles believed also, then Jane would have committed a great sin against God for being part of a coup that displaced the legitimate hier of a divinely appointed soverign.
" Thanks Boudica! I had not thought about the "divinity" factor and that is an excellent point. After all, that had to one of the main reasons that a country would be so supportive of a "child" (Edward VI) soverign to rule over them. Can you imagine a child as President or Prime Minister?....on second thought, that might not be any worse! LOL. Anyway, that was a very good point to bring up! :) Pookiesmama sure posted a thought provoking question.
