∙ 9y agoMary I, daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon assumed the throne after her brother Edwardâ??s death and the execution of the usurper to the throne, Lady Jane Grey. She was a devout Catholic and reversed all laws giving preference to Protestantism. She changed the style of churches from the drab fixings of Protestant churches to the more colorful of Catholic churches. She reinstated the Latin mass and banned the protestant prayer book. Those who objected were burned alive. She is said to have executed at least 300 people.

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.

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'.

Many believe the drink was later dubbed a Bloody Mary after Queen Mary Tudor and her particularly bloody reign over England in the 16th century. However, a 1934 ad, noted by Esquire, states that entertainer George Jessel named the drink after a friend, Mary Geraghty.She was the first-ever Queen of England to rule in her own right, but to her critics, Mary I of England has long been known only as “Bloody Mary.” This unfortunate nickname was thanks to her persecution of Protestant heretics, whom she burned at the stake in the hundreds
