Edward's Decision to Make Jane His Heir Was Supported by the Whole Establishment

religion was the primary consideration for edward, because he was reported to be extremely zealous in the cause of protestantism. And i think that he also recognized this in his cousin jane, which was one of the reasons why he thought that she would be a suitable candidate as his successor. But crucially, doesn't just have the support northumberland. It has the support of pretty much the whole establishment at the time. All the nobility and key members of the government at the time back edward's decision. That's it exactly. So everybody goes along with it.
