Their deaths seem to have been a bit better than the one they reserved for the husband. Why would the husband even want her back? She must have been quite the hottie.

He was probably Catholic so he couldn’t divorce her and remarry.
If he wanted an heir, he needed her.
There might have also been some issues with the dowry.

“Why would the husband even want her back?”
No foolin’ but legally she was his property and that paramour wasn’t worth spit and death-by-exercised-husband was justified in the eyes of the law.
