      Well he had been kidnapped by a rival family. As long as he was alive and in there hold, they ruled castile. If fact they hid the fact of his death. She sent knights to steal her brothers body back to prove his death and some to retrieve her son from Leon.
      To me it's just one of those unfortunate and odd deaths. After I did some research, it seems legit.

      I think there are two reasons she doesn’t generally appear in list if British monarchs.
      One, it is generally believed that her Ascension to the throne was a coup, and a failed one, against the rightful secession.
      Two, she was disliked by the people. Remember that the people of England didn’t even know who she was and were anticipating Mary, the daughter of the beloved Queen Catherine of Aragon. Catherine had been an incredibly popular Queen by the people, she even lead to English to victory over a Scottish attack while Henry was playing war in France. So regardless of religion the vast majority wanted Mary on the throne, not a woman they had never heard of until her Ascension to the throne. The only support Jane had was from protestant nobility.

    You got it wrong. Mary did not have Jane executed because of a plot that threatened Philip. Jane was executed because while in prison she was advocating her position and rebellion against Mary. Mary may be the bloody queen but Jane has a hand in her own demise.
    The image of the poor little puppet is actually not accurate. Although that’s what they wanted her to be she proved in those nine days that she was not going to be pushed around. To start with she refused to have her husband crowned king, he was going to be her consort and nothing else. She was ready to die for her religion as well. While she is a sympathetic figure she is not the pitiful one that is always presented.

      i dont think he died of excessive sex at all. this talk about sex is harmful to health is an ancient belief in east asia. most of us asians are no longer even aware of it, but people in deep rural china still believe it though.

      Not because of excessive sex, but most likely because of drug overdose. Emperor of this time period often use drug to enchance their ability. This is probably why he was first given laxative to induce diarrhea, to get rid of the posion in his body.
