The Young Queen Mary I with Dr Peter Stiffell

Long before she was Queen Mary I, or more infamously to her detractors as Bloody Mary, there was a young girl, born a princess, the first born child of King Henry VIII to reach adulthood, Mary, by his first with, Katherine of Aragon, so what was Mary’s young life like? Who was involved in her christening, spoiler, what were the many marriage prospects created, and did she ever blame her father rather than Anne Boleyn for what befell her? Well to discuss all of this and much more I am pleased to welcome back Dr Peter Stiffell onto the podcast for a discussion all about his favourite figure from history!
