Mary I of England controlled the nobles primarily through a combination of strategic marriages, patronage, and the assertion of royal authority. She sought to consolidate power by marrying Philip II of Spain, which aimed to strengthen her position and align her interests with powerful allies. Additionally, Mary reinforced loyalty among the nobility by granting titles and lands to those who supported her reign, while simultaneously suppressing dissent through legal measures and the use of royal favor. This approach allowed her to maintain a degree of stability in a politically turbulent period.
