The prototype of bloody Mary is Mary I (February 18, 1516 ~ November 17, 1558), and Mary I (reigned from 1553 to 1558) grew up in the turbulent tide of European religious reform. At that time, Britain also became a place where Catholicism and Protestantism fought to the death.
Version 1: Her mother Catherine is a spanish princess who deeply believes in Catholicism, and her father Henry VIII, in order to divorce her mother, did not hesitate to betray Catholicism, break with the Pope, and support Protestantism and persecute Catholics at home. Perhaps because of the above-mentioned growth process, or because of her rigid and stubborn personality, she became a die-hard Catholic and had a profound hatred for Protestantism.
As an adult, she was almost put on the trial table of treason by Henry VIII because she refused to convert to Protestantism, and later married King Philip II of Spain, the defender of the Catholic world at that time. Immediately after she ascended the throne, she announced the restoration of Catholicism, and adopted a high-handed policy towards Protestants, killing the radicals among them. During her five years of rule, more than 3 people were burned to death at the stake, including the Archbishop Cranmer who dared to declare her parents' marriage invalid and she was an illegitimate daughter, while countless Protestants were forced into exile.
She finally won the title of "bloody Mary" from the British people for her atrocities. When she died of illness, it is said that the whole of London rang with the bells of celebration, and it was her sister Elizabeth I who became a wise king.
Version 2
Some people say that it was Elizabeth Bathory in the 16th century (156 ~ 1614), a lesbian who liked to brutally torture her beautiful maids and young girls in the countryside. Usually mentioned under her Hungarian name Erzsebet.
Seyit Castle, where the Countess lives, is built on the top of a hill, located in the Hungarian mountainous area of Carpathians. On a vast land at the top of the mountain, it is like a fortress. From there, you can overlook the village of Csejthe. And this is also the magic cave of the countess's bloodthirsty carnival. The peasants in the village called her "the bloodthirsty countess" with hatred. The countess in Diablo was talking about her, and her name was repeatedly mentioned in the dark room. There is also a feature film on the Discovery channel that mentioned this point.
She is a famous Blood Countess in history and a real vampire. At that time, she was famous all over Europe, and she thought that the blood of young virgins made her face permanent. Countess Elizabeth probably also provided inspiration for Stoke's Dracula.
in p>1546, Vlad Dracula (the legendary vampire, Dracula, the protagonist of the film 4 Years of Vampire unusual love) and an expedition led by Steven Bathory, Prince of Transvania, came to Wallachia to fight for the throne of the former ruler. About a century later, the successor of Steven Bathory, Countess Elizabeth Bathory herself became the embodiment of terror in Transvania. The following is the story of Elizabeth Bathory.
Elizabeth Báthory was born in 156 in the famous Hungarian Bartoli family. Bartoli's family is a noble family with a deep relationship with Habsburg dynasty. People have been appointed as kings of the Principality of Ruvinia, Drancy, and they are among the noble families. There are many powerful relatives in their family-including a cardinal, some princes, and a cousin who holds the post of prime minister of Hungary, and the most famous one is Ist van Bathory-he is the prince of Transylvania and the king of Poland from 1575 to 1586.
It is said that Elizabeth showed violent tendencies when she was four or five years old, which may be caused by epilepsy or other nervous system diseases, and may be related to her later "insanity" behavior. Like most aristocratic dynasties in Europe at that time, her family was also troubled by mental illness caused by intermarriage. ) King Stephan of Poland is one of her famous relatives, and she also has an abusive aunt and a schizophrenic uncle. Therefore, it is not surprising that Elizabeth has had seizures since she was 4 years old. She was spoiled since childhood, and a group of governesses surrounded her to meet all her needs. Although influenced by her sudden illness and withdrawn personality, Elizabeth is still regarded as a smart and capable young woman.
When she was very young, she witnessed the execution of a betrayed gypsy. They stuffed the poor gypsy into the belly of a horse that was cut alive and sewed it inside. The executioner's face did not show the slightest sympathy and pity for the death of the victim. This incident made Elizabeth understand one thing-it was this incident that made her cruel personality sprout-killing a civilian without punishment and fear of retaliation.
