[@sleepwalking117]

Well according to letters this isn't so. Letters from her own hand become more confident as queen. The council turned its back because she didn't make Dudley King when she promised to. Meaning she wanted to be sole ruler of England. Doing so alienated the very people pulling the strings to get her in such an honored position. Had she agreed to make him king perhaps she could've fended off Marry with ease.
