How did queen Mary get her nickname?
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.)
