This decision did not please Simon Renard, who said bluntly, “I think, Your Majesty, it is a grave error permitting Elizabeth to leave the Tower.” Mary stared at Simon Renard. She trusted him, but since he was not an Englishman, she doubted his wisdom in some matters, especially those concerning her family—mainly Elizabeth. “I cannot leave my sister in the Tower, Renard. She is innocent. I am convinced of it.” “Some of the traitors involved in Wyatt’s Rebellion accused her.” “Yes, they accused her under torture. People will confess anything under torture. Besides, Wyatt himself never accused her. At his execution he was almost deformed by the tortures he had undergone, but he steadfastly refused to admit that Elizabeth had ever contacted him. I cannot ignore such testimony.” Renard stared at the queen, but said, “I think it’s a mistake, but you are the queen. She’s here to see you. I saw her in the outer room.” “Have her brought in, Renard, and you may leave us alone.”
