                                                        Mary Tudor 

                                                        Bloody Mary

.Burned protestants
.Attempted to reverse the English reformation 


.Born in 1516

There was only one problem she was a girl. So her mother Catherine taught her everything she needed to know to become a Queen.But after a while her father,King Henry fell madly in love with a women named Anne Bolyen  and got a divorce with Catherine.

   

After her parents divorce Mary's health went down both mentally and physically. she had,

Dysmenorrhea wich came with:

.Agonising pain
.cramping
.chronic and recurring 
.irregular hormone fluctuations 
.serious  depression

And she also had Anxiety and was neglected when her father married his new wife and divorced Catherine. She was now treated differently by her new sister Elizabeth.

.1536-  Death of Queen Catherine sent Mary into farther grief and depression.

She no longer believed there was a life for her in England. She desperately wanted to leave but when she heard that her step mother was going to be executed she decided  to stay. After her death Mary was extremely  pleased but now she had to be Queen which  went against her catholic beliefs  because in order to marry Anne and divorce Catherine he had to get rid of the catholic churches and get his own that will allow him to divorce Catherine therefor if Mary became Queen it would have went against her beliefs but she had no choice but to become Queen.but eventually she had a brother, Edward the VI.

Mary was 31 when her father died and that's  when her brother (aged 9)took over the throne.But luckily for Mary his reign didn't last long Edward became very sick and died at the age of 15.

Edward VI: 1537-1553

At the age of 37 Mary's reign finally began.That was when she finally got married to Philip the II of Spain.Even though she adored  her husband there was no record about how he felt about her.But it was pretty clear that he didn't really feel the  same.One indicator of this has to do with rumours that he was in love with another woman.

The now 38-year-old Mary was not exactly seen as attractive.She looked terrible with all her mental suffering.

Later on she started to grow a belly most people thought she was pregnant but it cloud have bin a tumour.But at the time there was no way of knowing if it was a baby or not so the only way was to simply wait and see if a baby was born. Eventually rumours spread that she must be faking pregnancy and instead of a baby there was a Monkey in her womb. But she finally came to terms she was not pregnant and that she won't have an heir and instead her sister will have to rule.
  
Mary was jealous of her sister manly because she was the two things she was not: beautiful and young.In 1558 Mary died most likely from ovarian cancer derived from her untreated endometosis.
Her vision for a catholic England crumbled and her sister Elizabeth took the throne. Mary's husband    Phillip whom she'd loved so much' wrote that he had only felt "a moderate grief"for her.
 
Mary was beguiled even after death because she was not buried next to her mother as she had requested,instead she ended up getting  buried next to her sister Elizabeth. To make matters worse,the grave site of Mary and  her hated sister is a monument to Elizabeth,which completely over shadows her.  

Mary is commemorated only bay a slob of black marble with the infamous name "bloody Mary" on it.In this way, it seems that Mary has gone down as one of history biggest losers.She had a really  difficult life filled with grief ,pain and misery.On top of every thing she never got her way in the end.

                                                             NOW WAS MARY 
                                              A
                                     MONSTER OR VICTIM???
