No, I don't blame Elizabeth at all.
By the way, I don't think any serious person thinks Henry's remains were thrown into the river.

Then, of course, there is the tragic case of Lady Jane Grey, a serious-ass babe with twice the brains of everyone around her. Grey was gifted with a brilliant, analytical mind--probably would have been an uberElizabeth Rex. Problem was she was a proto-Puritan taking her religious beliefs seriously. Grey lasted six days until Mary seized the reigns of power.
A friend of mine photographed the Latin puns she put up on the walls of her cell before her execution. Grey was the one figure in that period who could have changed the course of European history.

Henry VIII is buried at Windsor, in St. George's Chapel. He's not in the river.
