The Marquis of Grovehill’s family would undoubtedly push hard for a resolution, and it would depend on how Thomas handled the situation by dragging things out.

According to their speculation, Jaina would become a pawn for Eleanor if Thomas refused. There were two options–either Jaina would be married off as a concubine to Henry, or wed to an elderly man as a secondary wife or a concubine in his household.
