Publisher's summary

Mary I, typically called Mary Tudor and called "Bloody Mary" by her Protestant challengers, ruled as Queen of England and Ireland from July 1553 to November 17, 1558. She is well remembered for her solid attempts to reverse the English Reformation, which started under her dad Henry VIII's reign.

Her effort to return property taken at the time of the prior two reigns to the Church was generally blocked by Parliament, but during her five-year rule, Mary had more than 280 spiritual dissenters burnt at the stake in the Marian persecutions. You might give excuses for her behavior, you might justify it by saying she may not have been much worse than other dictators and royalty around that time, but the fact of the matter is still that she murdered hundreds of people for religious and political reasons.

Bloody Mary was cruel and cold, and from what we know, there was a cause for this. Let’s take a look at her life, her problems, and the way she handled them.

Too short

Too short not worth the money. They skipped too many of her life events. Like what happened after the death of her father and brother.!
