Mary I (English: Mary I, February 18, 1516 -November 17, 1558), Queen of England and Ireland (reigned from July 1553 to November 17, 1558). She was the fourth monarch of the Tudor dynasty. Her father was Henry VIII, her mother was Queen Catherine of Aragon, and her husband was King Philip II of Spain.
After the death of her half-brother Edward VI, Mary I deposed and executed her successor, Jane Grey. On October 1, 1553, Mary was officially crowned Queen of England.
Mary I was an extremely devout Catholic. After taking the throne, she restored Roman Catholicism (old religion) in England, replacing the English Protestantism advocated by her father Henry VIII. To this end, she ordered about 300 opponents to be burned to death. So Mary I was called "Bloody Mary". Later, Bloody Mary became synonymous with witch in English.
On November 17, 1558, Mary I died at the age of 42.
After Mary I's death, her religious policies were largely reversed by her successor, Elizabeth I.
Mary I was the first queen in British history. She enjoyed the true right to rule as a king, rather than becoming a nominal king or queen through marriage. Mary I was brave and stubborn, and her character was shaped by her tragic and repressed early years.
In order to restore papal supremacy in England, Mary I gave up the title of Supreme Head of the Church. Mary also restored the old heresy laws to protect the country's religious conversion; heresy was regarded as a religious and civil offense, and Treason. As a result, about 300 heretical Protestants were burned to death. Mary I was therefore called "Bloody Mary" by later generations.
