Well, the Britannian royal family, according to the history that was translated from the first dvd, is not the same house as the Tudors, they were related to the Celtic-British 'tribes' which had to give way to the English with the ascension of the Tudors in the 13th century.
However. I guess what I was referring to wasn't just Henry the 8th, but Charles the 1st who was executed by Cromwell. Mary Queen of Scots was executed...Greater than England, we had the French Revolution in which the people executed the king and queen of France. Plenty of executions going on. I'm sure the king could have had Marianne tried and convicted of something and then executed instead of having her assasinated and making it look like a terrorist attack.
I am also a bit confused about how and when the Imperial family learned that Lelouch was dead. At some points I had thought that Lelouch faked his own death, and his sisters, but it also might be that it was sort of a spur of the moment thing.
Well, on one of the blogs, someone explained the practice of exchanging children as hostages in order to declare a truce/peace treaty between monarchs (governments), therefore that's why Lelouch and Nunally were sent to Japan. As 'hostages' in a truce between Japan and Britannia. What was alleged by the poster (and makes some sense as to why Lelouch would be PISSED) is that when Britannia invaded, it was basically violating the terms of the truce/treaty and therefore declaring that the king didn't care whether his children - serving as hostages - were killed.
Faking his own death, I think, would be very very bad for political relations that would involve daddy dearest having to take revenge for his childrens' deaths. But, considering how he's berated Suzaku for being the one to force Japan to kneel before Britannia, maybe that's exactly what Lelouch did instead. If he faked his death and brought the wrath of his father on Japan before Suzaku killed his father, well, it'd be just fitting, wouldn't it? O_o
The only things we know about Ashford is that they took Lelouch in and know he's a prince of the blood but are hiding/shielding him. That for whatever reason, they're considered 'fallen from grace', according to Milly's conversation with Lloyd. I've also read that in the picture drama 2, Milly's grandfather and Nina's worked together developing the Knightmare Frames. That something happened (I don't recall...*sigh* I'll go look it up)...
"When Milly reveals that the company went bankrupt because of the research costs, Nina feels that it was her grandfather’s fault. Milly, however, says that it was because of her own grandfather’s extravagance in throwing parties. In the end, he came over to Japan and survived by running this school thanks to personal connections."

That's all I've got on the Ashfords. ^___^
