of course i only screenshot the part that saved, lol. anyway, it was an expansion on  #i think it's entirely possible that JB loved anne but also had this innate sympathy for coa and mary too.
so, if i can remember what i said, even if that disputed report that jane was arrested for the public show of support to mary was not true (the timing of the report is certainly compelling if it was, that’s around the time of her banishment), i think her and her father visiting her june 1536 perhaps indicates that in her family there was some latent support of mary, many families were divided on the GM. there’s suggestions one of her brothers was reformist too, but it’s entirely possible jane felt some conflict of loyalty and sympathy between her father, husband, and sister in law(s). i don’t think this means she was ‘evil’ or praying on their downfall, i just think it means she was human. many women had sympathy for them; jane was a wife that never had or carried children to term, living in a time where one where the most powerful woman in england, after 20+ years, was being cast aside for similar (although not identical) reasons, and mary was a child during the beginning of this time, and as a young woman, ‘judged as a private person [....] probably the most attractive member of the Tudor family.’ (boooo, ives /s)
