Mary I
Tudor Catholic monarch
Mary I, also known as Mary Tudor or Bloody Mary, was Queen of England and Ireland from 1553 until her death in 1558.
The daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, she was the first queen regnant of England to rule in her own right.
Her reign is remembered primarily for her attempt to restore Roman Catholicism to England and the resulting persecution of Protestants, during which nearly 300 were burned at the stake—earning her the epithet Bloody Mary.
