Mary I's throne was hard-won, and it took countless hardships to get her throne.
But the throne brought her not glory, but trouble and sadness.
Mary I is a very poor woman. Although she is the eldest daughter of King Henry VIII of England, she has endured loneliness and injustice for a long time.
Henry VIII married six queens in his life. Mary was the only daughter of Henry VIII and the first queen Catherine.
This Queen Catherine is spanish princess. She was originally the wife of Henry VIII's brother Arthur.
But Arthur died of illness shortly after Catherine married him.
King henry vii of England at that time forced Catherine to marry Henry VIII, who was only 12 years old, in order to continue to form an alliance with Spain.
In the face of power, Catherine has no choice. She obeyed and married Henry VIII.
At first, the marriage was good. Although Henry VIII was six years younger than Catherine, he fell in love with the beautiful Catherine at first sight.
The couple spent many wonderful times together. Older Catherine took care of Henry VIII like a younger brother. Henry VIII was as dependent on his wife as his mother.
17 years old, Henry VIII made Catherine queen.
After Henry VIII succeeded to the throne, Catherine carefully assisted her husband, and now she has fallen in love with this young man.
After yekaterina married Henry VIII, a * * * gave birth to five children, but only Princesse Marie survived.
At this time, Henry VIII loved his daughter very much. When Princesse Marie was 9 years old, he gave her the title of "Prince of Wales".
In the British royal family at that time, only the Crown Prince could get such a title, which shows the importance of Princesse Marie in Henry VIII's heart.
In addition, little Mary has vast land, magnificent palaces and castles, and many royal privileges.
Although Princesse Marie is not beautiful and weak, many people still affectionately call her "Princess of Wales".
Henry VIII loved Princesse Marie very much, but he still wanted a son in his heart.
At that time, there was no precedent for women to inherit the throne in Britain. Henry VIII has always been concerned about the issue of heirs, and he is particularly eager to have a strong son to inherit his throne.
However, although Queen Catherine was pregnant many times after giving birth to Mary, the children either miscarried or died, which made Henry VIII extremely disappointed.
As Queen Catherine gets older, her chances of having children are getting less and less.
Henry VIII gradually disliked Catherine. He has grown up and doesn't need a wife like his sister anymore.
Henry VIII stubbornly believed that he and Catherine had no sons because their marriage was cursed by God.
Because the bible says one after another.
In view of this rule, Henry VIII firmly believed that only by ending this marriage and marrying a new queen could a son be born.
From then on, Henry VIII began to alienate Catherine.
Soon after, Henry VIII hooked up with anne boleyn, a waitress around Catherine.
Catherine was very anxious when she learned about it, but she was too young and childless to keep her husband's heart.
Sad Catherine can only cry with her daughter in her arms. Princesse Marie looked at her mother, who seemed to feel her father's estrangement.
After a while, anne boleyn got pregnant.
The ecstatic Henry VIII decided that the fetus in anne boleyn's womb was a boy.
In order to give his future son a legal status, Henry VIII filed a divorce application with the Vatican.
However, the Vatican was intimidated by cousin Catherine and refused Henry VIII's divorce application.
The furious Henry VIII immediately announced his departure from the Vatican and declared his marriage with Catherine invalid in the name of Congress.
As a Catholic, Catherine can't accept this fact. She always thinks she is the only queen in Britain.
At this time, Mary also firmly believes that she is the legitimate princess.
The lack of cooperation between mother and daughter made Henry VIII extremely angry.
In order to avenge the mother and daughter, Catherine was imprisoned in a monastery by Henry VIII, while Mary was imprisoned in the Tower of London on the charge of "illegitimate daughter".
At this moment, Henry VIII no longer dotes on his eldest daughter. He regards this daughter as an obstacle and is bent on getting rid of her.
When Princesse Marie fell from heaven to hell, she not only lost her former glory, but also lost her mother.
Catherine misses her daughter in the monastery, while Mary misses her mother in the Tower of London.
One is in tears, the other is crying. ...
But the tears of mother and daughter failed to impress Henry VIII, who had a heart of stone.
Henry VIII expected anne boleyn to have a son for himself. Unfortunately, anne boleyn gave birth to a daughter Elizabeth after she got pregnant in October.
Although Henry VIII was disappointed, he was still infatuated with Anne. In order to humiliate Mary, he forced his eldest daughter to be his sister's nanny.
The princess, who used to be high above, has now become a nanny. This psychological gap is unbearable for Mary, and her physical condition is even worse.
In order to marry anne boleyn, Henry VIII initiated the Reformation, abolished Catholicism in England, converted to Anglican Church, and successfully divorced Queen Catherine.
The breakdown of parents' marriage cast a shadow over Mary's life, thus forming her paranoid personality.
Mary hates anne boleyn and her daughter, but she has to wait on Anne's daughter humbly.
In order to survive, Mary can only submit to humiliation and wait on Princess Elizabeth carefully.
At this time, hatred was buried in Mary's heart. ...
Later, because anne boleyn never gave birth to a son, Henry VIII became more and more indifferent to her.
Soon after, Henry VIII executed anne boleyn for "debauchery".
Then, Henry VIII helped the waitress jane seymour to the queen's seat.
Jane seymour became the queen. /kloc-After getting pregnant in 0/0 month, she gave birth to her son Edward.
Henry VIII finally got his son as he wished. He was so grateful to jane seymour that he kept kissing the woman.
Edward was sickly since childhood, but Henry VIII made him his heir.
By this time, Mary had lost her mother, and Catherine passed away in grief after her divorce.
Henry VIII was still angry after Catherine's death. He didn't even allow Mary to attend his mother's funeral.
Sadness and humiliation made Mary suffer from headache, eye disease and irregular menstruation very early.
But Henry VIII, as a father, didn't care about this daughter at all. Only his son is his own child in his heart.
Princess Elizabeth was forgotten by her father after her mother anne boleyn was executed, and now she is an illegitimate daughter.
Although the two sisters have the same experience, they are strangers, and Mary will never accept this sister.
In order to survive, Mary began to please Henry VIII, not only acknowledging his position as a Protestant leader, but also offering to be Edward's godmother.
Mary's compromise made Henry VIII very happy, so she agreed to let her daughter move back to the palace and put her on the heir list as the second heir.
Mary is very careful with everyone in the palace. She knows that she can only protect herself now.
1547, Henry VIII died.
According to Henry VIII's last words, young Edward succeeded to the throne.
As Edward was not yet able to govern the country, the regime fell into the hands of the Regent's Council.
These Protestants tried to adopt Protestantism as the state religion, and Edward was very supportive of their decision.
Edward's reform measures made Mary, who had always believed in Catholicism, very dissatisfied, so the relationship between the two brothers and sisters was very bad.
Edward has made remarkable achievements in reform, but the king has been weak since childhood, and everyone knows that he will not live long.
1553, Edward, who suffered from lung disease, got worse. In order to make Protestantism continue to be the state religion, he did not hesitate to modify Henry VIII's will, deprived Mary of her inheritance right, and appointed her cousin Jane Grey as her successor.
Mary was so angry that she almost lost her blood. She roared and vowed to take back everything that belonged to her.
After the death of Henry VIII, according to the will, Edward VI of England of England should succeed to the throne, but he died at the age of 16.
According to the regulations, Mary should be the next heir.
But the Duke of northumberland and the Privy Council announced that Jane Grey, the third in line, would succeed to the throne.
But Jane Grey has no political foundation, and the British people do not support her to succeed to the throne.
Nine days after Jane Grey ascended the throne, under the condemnation of the masses, the Queen fell and Mary ascended the throne. She is Mary I.
After Mary came to power, the first thing she did was to restore the legitimacy of her mother's marriage to Henry VIII, and make her become a legal identity from an illegitimate daughter.
Queen Mary's mother is a Catholic, so Mary I is also a fanatical Catholic.
As soon as Queen Mary came to power, she made drastic reforms.
Because of his hatred for his father Henry VIII, Mary I hated Protestantism very much, because it was a sect founded by his father.
Mary I completely denied the religious policies of Henry VIII and Edward VI of England in England, and attempted to restore Britain under the control of the Holy See, restore Catholicism and return to the "Christian world" headed by the Pope.
1553, 10 year10.5, Mary convened the first parliament, which basically abolished the English religious reform legislation in Edward VI of England's time and partially abolished the legislation in Henry VIII's time, paving the way for Rome.
However, Queen Mary's attempt to restore Catholicism met with great challenges in the first debate because the parliament did not approve the restoration of Catholic Orthodox religious ceremonies.
After Mary I was crowned, in order to prevent the throne from falling into the hands of her Protestant sister Elizabeth, she agreed to marry Spanish Prins Carl Philip (later Philip II), the son of his cousin Charles V, and the holy king of the Roman Empire.
Mary I's decision angered the British people who always hated foreign rule, but Mary I still went his own way and ignored it.
1554 On July 23rd, Mary I and Philip met for the first time, and they got married two days later.
According to the content of the engagement, Philip was awarded the title of King of England, and all documents must be signed by both Philip and Mary.
The British Parliament will only obey the joint orders of the two people at the same time, and even the currency is engraved with portraits of the king and queen.
This agreement also shows that Britain has no obligation to provide any military assistance to Spain when there is a battle in Spain.
In order to make Philip's title equal to Mary's, Charles V ceded the throne of Naples and Jerusalem to Philip.
Mary I thus became the Queen of Nablus and the nominal Queen of Jerusalem.
1556, Charles V abdicated, Philip succeeded to the throne, and Mary naturally became the queen of Spain.
After marriage, Mary I always wanted to have a son, but her stomach never responded, which made her very anxious.
Philip married Mary I for political reasons, and he neglected his wife, which also made Mary I very sad.
Lonely Mary I focused on his own politics.
In order to consolidate the position of Catholicism in Britain, Mary I began to brutally suppress Protestants.
During this period, about 300 religious pagans were burned alive, including even pregnant women and children.
In order to keep the throne, Mary I executed Jane Grey, injured the Archbishop of Canterbury, Cranmai, and his mother lost the throne and exiled 800 people overseas.
This cruel burning is all over Britain. ...
At that time, whether in the street or in the square, there could be things that burned Protestants at any time.
Under the leadership of Henry VIII and Edward, the British people generally accepted Protestantism, and now Mary I is doing the same, which is incomprehensible.
The British people were disappointed with Mary's administration, and the brutal killing earned Mary I the title of "bloody Mary".
But as an ardent Catholic, Queen Mary didn't feel anything wrong at all. She once said one by one affectionately.
Mary's paranoid personality made her put her personal devotion to Catholicism above the interests of England.
Under Mary I's rule, Protestant missionaries left England for security reasons and emigrated.
Mary I's perverse behavior gradually lost her popularity, but she didn't feel anything.
Because she wants to pick up another person at the moment. ...
Mary I accused anne boleyn of divorcing her parents and hated her half-sister, Elizabeth.
Although Elizabeth paid homage to Mary I and changed her faith, she did not escape the fate of being imprisoned in the Tower of London.
Fortunately, Elizabeth is very smart. With her wisdom and luck, she left the Tower of London after being imprisoned for more than two months.
Mary I has always dreamed of having a child since she got married, but it hasn't come true for many years.
1554 In September, Mary I suddenly stopped menstruating, and her body began to get fat, and she also had morning sickness.
At that time, the whole court and even her doctor thought that Mary could give birth at the end of April.
Mary I was very excited. Her half-sister Elizabeth was released from prison and was called into the palace to witness the whole delivery process.
After the news that Mary was about to give birth to a son spread all over Europe, at the end of April, the Parish of London prayed for Mary's birth.
Mary I's pregnancy reaction lasted until July 1555, but after that, her stomach actually returned to normal.
Soon after, her doctor confirmed that she was not pregnant.
Ambassador Michelle of Venice said sarcastically one by one.
It turned out that Mary I wanted a child so badly that she pretended to be pregnant.
This blow made Mary I's mentality completely collapse ...
Mary I's husband, Philip, thinks his wife has lost face. He left Mary I to fight the French in Flanders.
The child left, the husband left, and Mary I was heartbroken.
With the aggravation of illness, Mary I had no time to manage the country, and with the tenacious resistance of Protestants and the outbreak of the British epidemic, Mary was full of despair for the future.
Lonely Mary I is dying, and the flame of her life is about to burn out.
10, Mary I finished her life in loneliness. Because she had no children, her half-sister Elizabeth succeeded to the throne for Elizabeth I.
Mary I ceded the throne to the person she hated most.
Is this the legendary fate?
