Why is bloody Mary called by this name?
"BloodyMary" is a very popular word in the west. Its wide popularity first comes from a cocktail made of vodka, tomato juice, lemon slices and celery root. The bright red tomato juice looks like blood, so it is named after it. During the prohibition of alcohol in the United States, this cocktail was very popular in underground bars, and it was called "not drunk tomato juice". "Bloody Mary" turned out to be the name of a ghost, and it is also a psychic game in the West. It is said that when you walk into a dark bathroom alone, you can summon "Bloody Mary" through a series of actions such as lighting candles and chanting spells. Its description is terrible, so I won't elaborate here.

What interests me is the historical origin of bloody Mary. There are two versions of the common sayings I have collected. One is that it comes from Mary I, a tyrant of Tudor Dynasty in England, and the other is that it comes from Count Li Kester, a Hungarian femicide in18th century. There is another Elizabeth Balet, who was mentioned by the Countess in DIABLO. Her name was repeatedly mentioned in the dark room, and it was also mentioned in the feature film on DISCOVERY Channel.

Mary I (reigned 1553~ 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. Her mother Catherine is a Catholic spanish princess, and her father Henry VIII, in order to divorce her mother, did not hesitate to betray Catholicism and break with the Pope, and supported Protestantism and persecuted 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, because she refused to convert to Protestantism, she was almost put on the stage of treason by Henry VIII, 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 300 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 famous monarch later.

Another story about bloody Mary is/kloc-the peerless Hungarian beauty Li in the 8th century? 6? 1 Countess Kester, take a look at unofficial history's description of her: "Long black hair flutters in the air, and two jewel-like eyes contain breathtaking light. The lux dress is like a flowing flame, wrapped in her slender body like white jade, and the whole person is like a moving fire spirit." Her fame spread far and wide in Europe. It is said that countless men died in a duel for her, and even the French king fell for her. It is said that her beauty remained well into her sixties. But the secret of her beauty is creepy-the blood of girls. In her life, she killed more than 2,800 girls (this number may be exaggerated) and then took a bath with their blood to maintain her rare charm. It is said that she even drank the blood of girls to clean the dirt in her body. Later, she was burned to death in the bathroom by angry people, but since then, ghosts have been crying from the castle where she lived every full moon. Later, the castle was sealed by the Pope and became one of the four haunted houses in Europe. This bloody beauty does exist in history, and I quote an exaggerated description here, but it is true that she killed many innocent girls in her life to keep her beauty. )
