The Story of Mary Tudor (Mary I of England)
Mary Tudor, also known as Mary I of England, was the first woman to rule England in her own right, reigning from 1553 to 1558. She was the only surviving child of King Henry VIII and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.
Mary's early life was marked by upheaval. Once the beloved heir, her status changed dramatically when her father divorced her mother to marry Anne Boleyn, leading to Mary being declared illegitimate and removed from the line of succession. Despite this, she remained steadfast in her Catholic faith, refusing to accept her father's break from the Roman Catholic Church.
After the death of her half-brother, Edward VI, Protestant nobles attempted to place Lady Jane Grey on the throne. Mary, however, rallied support and entered London triumphantly, deposing Jane after just nine days and being crowned queen herself.
As queen, Mary sought to restore Catholicism in England, reversing many Protestant reforms. Her marriage to Philip II of Spain was deeply unpopular and sparked rebellion. Mary's reign is most remembered for her persecution of Protestants; about 300 were burned at the stake, earning her the nickname "Bloody Mary".
Mary's reign ended in 1558 with her death, likely from cancer. She died childless and was succeeded by her half-sister, Elizabeth I, who reversed Mary's Catholic policies. Despite her controversial legacy, modern historians note that her reputation as a tyrant was shaped by later Protestant propaganda and that her actions were not unusual for the era.
Like I told my daughter sometimes the world can say something's correct and right and we all know it's God damn not and the only way to correct it is to f*** s*** up! So you can fix it right!
And she was not childless! She was the child of Moore because she is! And I was that baby the one they called a de e mon! Because it was them I always took their place always if the government wanted my children gone it was me in their place instead and since that's never not been the case here we are! I'm done waiting for the world to give a s***!
