i think she undoubtedly added to the intrigue erm and difficulties of her court, erm one example, she was always getting people that she approved of, getting them plum jobs, and one example was one of the governors of oxford, the most unpopular, one sir arthur aston, who was so unpopular that he got attacked on the street, and then had to have a body guard paid for the city council, and then was curvetting on his horse in front of some ladies, and fell off and broke his leg so badly that he had to have it amputated, so from then on he had a wooden leg, erm that meant he had to stop being governor, and later on in the war, a countryman was coming into oxford, and asked the sentinel ‘who was governor still’, and by that time a friend of prince rupert's sir william leg was governor, and the answer was ‘one leg’, and the countryman's reply was ‘pox on him, is he governor still?’.
