Yes because she killed so many people just because of their religionNo because being queen was probably very difficult in those times, she was trying to do the right thing in her mind.in her own way by solving the problem by burning people. She was trying to prove a point but in a bad way, so that if anyone else were to do something bad, they would maybe think twice about the aftermath of the consequences are.

Does bloody Mary Tudor deserve to be called bloody Mary?

Queen Mary I (1516-1558) wanted to make Roman Catholicism the religion of England and many who opposed her were executed for heresy. The contemporary historian John Foxe (1517-1587) adopted the term because he was a Protestant and Mary had killed nearly 300 Protestants during her 4-year reign. However, this name grew out of the Protestant propaganda which followed her reign and some have argued that the name is unfair, considering the numbers of people put to death by her contemporary monarchs for the same crime. (Spain, and even Scotland, had more people killed than in England under Mary.)

Misunderstood Mary Tudor?

Personally, I think that Mary Tudor really deserved the title 'bloody' because, even though she had a bad and disruptive childhood, she managed to burn alive 284 people during her 5 years of reign. Also she didn't listen to the thoughts of her people, made huge religious changes, married Philip of Spain against the advise of many at court and lost Calais due to marrying him. At the same time, it was Philip of Spain who had made Mary Tudor unhappy and unpopular and also didn't like her very much. Overall, I argue that Mary Tudor deserved the title 'Bloody Mary'.
