The Protestant group requested Elizabeth's aid.
Since the execution was rushed through by Elizabeth's advisors (who claimed that they did it to spare her the pain of having to order Mary's death) the Queen later claimed that she would not actually have allowed the execution, and that her advisors had betrayed her wishes.
