I never thought of it that way, but I think you're really, really right.
I definitely agree she loved England more than either of the boys because she refused to marry EITHER until the king was coming home, and she only married Robs because she knew she was dying. I don't think it makes it ok what she did, but I understand her motivations a lot better.
Marian seems to be an infuriating enigma at times. Most of the time I felt sorry for her and wanted to hug her because the males were hurting her so much and I was glad that she didn't stand for it and fought back with what she had. Other times I thought, ok, you didn't need to do that Maz.
Some ppl call what she did mean and manipulative, but I thought good for her. she's tough and isn't going to give up, Though I think had she allowed herself to love Guy she would have had found a new sense of freedom as a woman rather then as an ice maiden, I don't think he would have stifled her nearly as much as robin would have. Then again I'm being biased because I have a heavy dislike for Ja's robin.

I wrote this mainly because I think Marian killed herself in ep 13 of S 2 because she was afraid of having someone try to clip her wings. You can't do that to a girl like Maz. I also believe she loved Guy and Robin but nowhere near as much as she loved England.
Feel free to disagree. But remember before you chuck a tanty at me
