treason is the plotting to kill the queen/king
because they could of committed treason or petty treason.
the main reason would have been treason, speaking out against the government or not practicing the "right religion"
The use of treason increased after 1485 primarily due to the consolidation of power by the Tudor monarchy, particularly under Henry VII. Following the Wars of the Roses, the Tudor regime sought to secure their rule and eliminate potential rivals, leading to stricter laws against treason. Additionally, the political landscape became more volatile, with various factions and claimants to the throne, prompting the monarchy to enforce treason laws to deter insurrection and maintain stability. This heightened focus on loyalty and order contributed to the increased prosecution of treason during this period.
Murder, theft... basicly crimes today. Oh, except for the fact you could get exicuted for treason against the crown.
In Tudor times, the punishment for treason against the queen was typically execution, often by beheading. This was considered a grave crime due to the perceived threat it posed to the monarchy and the state. The execution was usually carried out in a public spectacle, serving as a warning to others. In some cases, particularly for those of noble birth, a more 'honorable' execution might be granted, but the outcome was still death.

You would be flogged with the birch.
The 1547 Treason Act, enacted during the reign of King Edward VI in England, significantly expanded the scope of treason laws. It made a wider range of offenses punishable by death, including acts such as the denial of the royal supremacy or the possession of certain religious texts. The act aimed to strengthen the monarchy's control and suppress dissent, particularly during a time of religious upheaval. Its broad definition of treason contributed to a climate of fear and repression in Tudor England.
The Tudor dynasty happened when Henry Tudor (Henry VII) beat king Richard the III in the war of the roses. Henry wanted to be king, the only way someone could be king or queen in that time was to kill the monach.
Mary Tudor died at the age of 42 of stomach cancer, on 17 November 1558.
Henry VII executed 2 of his wives for commiting treason (Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard). My theory is that they didn't want any people that were breaking the law to live any longer.
