Mary and Edward were both Royals...I don't think it took 15 attempts with the axe to de-capitate her.. maybe 2 or 3. When I say the Royals and Lords were allowed a dignified execution I meant they would have a supposedly quick death i.e have the head chopped off, as compared to being hung drawn and quartered or burnt at the stake.
King Edward 2nd was not executed officially... he was killed while imprisoned.
