What was Queen Mary's role in the Inquisition in the novel, The Virgin’s Lover?

Queen Mary Tudor found support in her Catholic faith and tried to roll back the Reformation powered by her father and to halt the spread of Protestantism in her country. This led to the Inquisition in England and many beheadings and burnings of Protestant heretics. Queen Mary managed to fill her church with pro-Vatican Bishops, thus causing a problem for Elizabeth when she finally came to power.
