Because of this activity she received a large number of petitions from supplicants who used her as a go-between for them and the king. She is said to have been credited with a great diplomatic ability, which made it possible for her to have success rather than to irritate the king when she came to him and spoke to him on others' behalf in various issues, some of them indeed political. There are many examples of this, ranging from business permits to death sentences and political issues. Already in the autumn of 1536, a pardon for a criminal sentenced to execution was mitigated by the king "For the sake of the Prayer of Our Dear Mistress Queen Margaret", and she also managed to have the king return the confiscated property of Margareta Gire, wife of the exiled suspected conspirator Wulf Gyler, release her from custody and allow her to depart to her spouse in Germany. The king, however, did not always like her influence over him to be abused and her mediation activity to be so extensive, and was on at least one occasion known to have reprimanded a supplicant for having asked his queen to mediate rather than to come to him directly.
