Born a princess, Mary was declared a bastard by her father when he divorced her mother in his desperate attempts to father a male heir. She fought her whole life for her position. When her brother died he passed her over and named their cousin Queen instead. But the people supported Mary, she rode to London and had her usurper beheaded. Now the first unquestioned Queen of England, she undid her father and brother’s work to convert the nation from catholicism. She burnt protestants at the stake and earned the name Bloody Mary. Desperate for a child, she made an unpopular marriage with a man who didn’t care for her and suffered two humiliating false pregnancies. She died at 42 passing the throne to her sister who overshadowed her for the rest of history.
I make mini documentaries about women's history and royal history:
