Mary Tudor
Later to be known as
Bloody Mary

After Henry's divorce from Catherine,
Mary was kept apart from her mother

Mary marries Philip of Spain
Mary was pleased to marry Philip
Philip was less pleased to marry Mary
Mary rose every day at dawn and worked
until midnight. She only saw her husband
at meal times and in the evenings when
she played flute for him
Soon Mary believed she was carrying a
baby, but she was wrong
In fact this happened twice to Mary. She
thought she was pregnant because she
wanted it so badly. Doctors now believe
that she had stomach cancer and this was
what made her stomach swell up
Philip left Mary for good this time to
fight a war in France. He did not return.
Mary's rule
Mary was determined to return all her
people to the true faith
She believed she was saving their souls
by insisting on this
When they refused to change their ways
she had them burnt at the stake
Bloody Mary
It was these burnings
at the stake which
gave Mary the name
by which she is still
known today
More than 300 people
were burned at the
stake during her reign
In april 1558 when Mary was 42, she
became quite ill after realising that she
was not pregnant, for the second time
She died in november without a child to
succeed her
Elizabeth, her halfsister, and the child of
the woman who had replaced her mother
in their father's affections, now became
the last Tudor monarch
