Mary I
Mary I, also known as Mary Tudor, was the queen of England from 1553 until her death in 1558. She was the daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon and is best known for her attempts to restore Roman Catholicism in England, which earned her the nickname 'Bloody Mary' due to the persecution of Protestant dissenters. Mary's reign was marked by political and religious turmoil, including her conflict with her half-sister, Lady Jane Grey, whom she ultimately deposed.
