The Forgotten Tudor Queen: Bloody Mary | Mary I | Real Royalty

On a summer day in 1553, after ten days of travel, a magnificent possession arrived in the capital, but its head was Mary Tudor, the eldest daughter of King Henry the Eighth. She had come to claim her inheritance, the crown of England. Mary entered the city in triumph. London On August 3 at 15:53 ​​the city buildings Mary knew have almost completely disappeared, but its boundaries are the same as those of the modern city of London's financial district. You look behind me. Mary entered from the east through all the gates and mounted. Beautiful tapestries hung in the streets all the way to the Tower of London, people cried tears of joy and Mary ecstatically quoted from the Bible, if God be with us, who can be against us this day.

It was Mary's victory over all those who had opposed her, but the joyful scenes were not to last. Mary was a

queen

driven by conscience and by faith she would send hundreds of her subjects to burn the stake for what she believed. that it was right a vision of England restored to its traditional Catholic faith Mary was born on February 18, 1516 at Greenwich Palace by the River Thames she was given a splendid baptism and the bells rang for joy Princess Mary was an extraordinarily important child her parents Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon had already been married for seven years when she was born and had had several children but all the others were stillborn or died shortly after birth.

Mary was the first daughter to survive this meant that she was heir to the crown of Aragon. England had only one drawback Mary was a girl and a woman had never ruled England as Queen Mary's destiny seemed clear, she was a royal princess who had become a royal bride and only reigned as a husband's wife. The search for the right husband began early. Benedict vos omnipotens. Hay parter ed Phyllis Spirit Santos. I mean, when Maria was only 2 years old. she became engaged to the Dauphin, the heir to the throne of France, in a ceremony that mimicked all the characteristics of a royal wedding.

This was just the first of many engagements over the next 10 years. The promise of Mary's hand in marriage was used repeatedly to make treaties. with other countries as daughter of King Henry and heir to England Mary was an attractive proposition, but her mother's family was even larger. Catherine of Aragon was descended from the great Spanish royal family whose empire now extended across most of Europe and even to the new world of America Catherine made sure that Mary did not forget her Spanish roots. Mary spoke Spanish as well as English and proudly identified with her Spanish family after her father converted from her.

Mary was treated as the most important person in England. She liked music, dancing and games. Henry referred. her as her pearl in the world Catherine was also devoted to Mary and was fiercely ambitious for her daughter. She made sure that Mary's education prepared her for her destiny, no matter how great her destiny was. This letter was written by Catherine to Mary when she was eight years old. or nine as for your Latin writing, I am glad you are changing from me to Master Featherstone. Catherine had started out teaching Mary Latin herself, but now she was switching to a professional tutor.

Latin was a masculine subject. Catherine is determined that Mary has good Latin to prepare her for the more masculine role of government. Henry still had no other wind and Catherine was preparing Mary for the possibility that she might one day be

queen

of England in her own right. At the age of nine Mary came here to Ludlow to take up residence. as nominal head of the Welsh Government, it was a highly symbolic move for the last 50 years, every Prince of Wales had come here to Ludlow to complete their education and learn the craft of governing and the fact that Mary, although a woman, I followed her.

Following in her footsteps she was sure that her father still considered her heir to England for the next three years. Mary spent a lot of time in Ludlow as Princess of Wales, but her search for the right husband continued. At age 11, she was going to be inspected for a new French partner. With only a year left of the minimum age of marriage and her future as queen and royal bride seemed assured, but before the year was out disaster struck in 1528, Mary left Ludlow for the last time and returned to a court in the middle of the agitation for his father.

She decided to divorce her mother Catherine, who was already fat and ugly, and Henry had fallen passionately in love with Anne Boleyn for the next five years. Henry looked for a way to marry Anne, but the Pope would not allow him to divorce Catherine; finally a clergyman, Thomas Cranmer, arrived. When he found a solution, as Archbishop of Canterbury he would be willing to divorce Henry and Catherine in defiance of the Pope. Maria would never forget or forgive what Cranmer had done. Childhood was over and in 1533, when Mary was 17, her father finally married her lover. A few months later and she gave birth to a baby girl Elizabeth, who was proclaimed Princess of Wales, there were now two queens and two princesses in England.

Henry and Anne could not sleep peacefully until Catherine was forced to renounce her title as queen and Mary to renounce hers. Mary was a princess when Elizabeth was born. Mary was a young woman. She had to endure the humiliation of being sent to live at Hatfield as a servant to little Isabel, around whom she now revolved everything. Mary was stripped of her royal title and declared her bastard. She was also going to suffer at the hands of Anne Boleyn, Mary's instructive guardian at Hatfield, and beat Mary every time she claimed to be a true princess and swore to her like the damned bastard she is.

Mary would never forget this cruelty and gained no sympathy. from her father because she refused to accept her mother's divorce. Henry disowned her for being disobedient and denied her permission to see Catherine. Mother and daughter were only allowed one brief visit in five years. The contrast with the luxury and privilege of her childhood was bad enough and even worse. It was the threat to the faith that she had learned that her mother's knee because Henry also insisted that she recognize him and not the Pope as supreme head of the church this brutal treatment was going to have a lasting effect Mary would spend the rest of her life searching for ways to avenge him when Mary was 20 she had experienced extreme ups and downs she had been adored as the future Queen of England is property and disgraced with an illegitimate daughter in 1536 two momentous events occurred that would transform her life once again on January 7 she died Mary's mother, Catherine of Aragon.

Mary, overwhelmed by her grief, saw no future for her in England and wrote to her cousin Charles V begging him to help her flee to Spain. Charles was the Holy Roman Emperor and was the most powerful man in Europe and Mary's strongest ally, but just a few months later Anne Boleyn was arrested and sentenced to death after eight years of exclusion. Maria now believed that there was a possibility of reconciliation with her father. These are the letters that María wrote to him. father and her father's secretary, Cromwell, in the weeks following Anne Boleyn's death, Mary thought she could achieve a reconciliation with her father on her own terms, she was quickly proven wrong and the letters describe a titanic struggle of wills between father and daughter the first of the letters is written on May 26, Mary's rights to Cromwell, please obtain permission from Henry to write to him and on June 8, Mary writes a letter to her father telling him how delighted that he has forgiven everything. offenses and withdrew her displeasure, but then, over the course of the next two days, something goes very wrong because Enrique makes it clear that Maria will not surrender on his terms, but rather his and hers are that she will recognize the royal supremacy, his mother's divorce and his own bastard.

Mary is distraught, her usual clean handwriting begins to disintegrate, and she writes her desperate letter to Cromwell, please her, she says, don't press me any further. I will do everything I can. God and my conscience are not offended because I assure you that it continues. I have done everything possible to ensure that my conscience will be sufficient, but Henry would not allow himself to be dictated by her daughter or her conscience. He had a statement drawn up which he ordered Mary to sign. Mary refused to obey, she would be a traitor and she would risk dying as a traitor.

This was no empty threat. Like a month before, Henry in X was adjusting to his wife, Mary was now facing the worst crisis of her short life. Ambolyn had often threatened her with death if she did not surrender, now her own father seemed about to carry out the threat and Mary's was not the only one of hers. Life in danger for all of her friends and supporters who pressed her claim to be the rightful heirs to the throne were exposed to a charge of treason, just as the wife of one of them wrote desperately to Mary pleading with her for the passion of Christ would do. what her father wanted, otherwise she was devastated in the face of this threat to her friends as well as herself Mary signed the hated piece of paper without even reading it she had betrayed herself her mother and her God the reward for Mary was A decade of peace Henry finally had a son and with a male heir Mary was no longer a threat.

Henry even passed an Act of Parliament stating that the line of succession was now Edward and then Mary Elizabeth Mary was not legitimized but recognized as a potential heir to the throne, but thanks to her awkward situation she remained single, then in 1547 Henry died and Mary was freed from her heavy ham. Her son Eduardo succeeded him. María was Eduardo's godmother. She was very fond of the boy according to the terms of her father's will. Mary was left a vast estate here in East Anglia based on the confiscated estates of the Dukes of Norfolk. She made her one of the richest landowners in the country during the first year of Edward's reign.

Mary lived contentedly in East Anglia. This peaceful existence might have continued if it had not been for the attempts of Edward and his government to revolutionize England and change it from a Catholic to a Protestant country, Mary was deeply committed to the old religion: its ritual and color with the Latin of the services and, above all, he loved his central religion. act of worship the mass in which the miraculous words of the priests spoken at the altar transformed the bread and wine into the actual body and blood of Christ sacrifice on the cross in the hem of the octave this presented no problem as its father, although he dissolved the monasteries and broke with Rome had kept the ancient rituals unchanged, but Edward and his advisors led by Archbishop Cranmer wanted to change everything, they wanted to replace what they saw as an empty ritual with the pure Word of God to have services in English, not Latin. and above all they wanted to abolish the idolatrous sacrifice of the mass as they called it and replace it with a simple act of commemoration of Mary.

This was an abomination, since for many people in the more conservative parts of the country the result was nothing more than Mary. She became a symbol of resistance to a government whose extremism was making it widely unpopular. Mary's piety had never been particularly commented on now, at age 31, she suddenly became deeply devout. It was noted that she attended mass at least four times a day and spent hours in private prayer. but in 1549 Edward forbade anyone from attending mass. Maria refused to obey her brother. She knew that Mary could become a powerful figurehead for all those who opposed her rule.

She had no support and was his official heir. She was forced to back him up. She sat and allowed Maria to hear mass, but only in private, but she Maria did not believe that the engagement could last in this crisis that existed largely in her own imagination. Mary once again falls into the status of victim of her father's reign and she summons the imperial ambassador. to the house where she was staying at Woodham Walter near the Essex coast here and she poured out her pain and her troubles this was an ungodly government she said she feared neither God nor man he was determined to make her a martyr even as his father His only refuge was the Emperor Charles, whom he considered his true father.

Carlos offered María a radical solution. She fled and commissioned an Imperial agent, Jay, to Guam to plan the escape. Mary lived in the perfect location near Mulder, on the Essex coast, for Imperial Ships Woodmoor on the estuary under the cover of night Mary would be taken to the ships and then set sail away from the safety of the Catholic mural on July 2nd the Jaguar Mulder carried out the plan two days later Rochester, the top official of Mary's family and his top confidential advisor summoned Du Bois to a clandestine meeting here at Malden Cemetery. The plan was unlikely to succeed.

Rochester said the government had placed surveillance at all ports. Furthermore, he made it clear that, in principle, he disapproved if Edward died. While Murray was in exile, he said that she would lose any chance of accession to the throne and that she had had a horoscope made showing that the child King would probably die within a year, however, she promised thatDubois would have the final decision, while Mary and He decided it was a make or break decision and Meri found it almost impossible to choose. Eventually, Dubois was summoned to her home in Woodham Walter, where she found her in a terrible state.

She informed him that the princess's chambers were in chaos. She was in great agitation, packing some of her property into long sacks trying to hide her irritation, he told her that she would not like the Emperor at all and that they must leave now or risk arrest. Imperial ships have been seen off the coast. Mary broke down if she left the country she might never return if she stayed she feared for her life and her faith all she could do was repeat over and over again what will I do what will become of me that strange incident in this remote corner of Essex was the twist At that point in Mary's life, it may even have been the last moment she experienced doubt, as over the next few months she became increasingly certain that God had a role for her in England after all. , who would not have to wait long in 1553.

King Edward All six died when they were only 15 years old. Edward was determined to have a Protestant heir who defied his father's wishes and left the crown to his cousin Lady Jane Gray on July 6 she was declared queen of England and even the ambassador of Mary's own cousin the Emperor Charles. accepted as Queen but counted without Mary Mary now knew she was rightful Queen of England and with a new sense of confidence she acted quickly and decisively to assert her claim by force immediately retreating here to the great fortress of Framlingham Castle at her heart From East Anglia, armed men began to arrive from their own estates and the lands of friendly neighboring knights, but Mary's support was much broader than this narrow conservative Catholic base and even convinced Protestants welcomed her as Queen because she was a Tudor and the rightful heir to England as Mary fought her way through the opposition of East Anglia faded and was proclaimed Queen. from as far away as Gloucester to Yorkshire, he had a following of at least 15,000 men, but not a single blow needed to be struck as he advanced towards the capital when he entered London, bells rang, bombs were lit and taydens were sung for the new Queen . finally at 37 years old Mary was crowned queen of England it seemed miraculous everything had changed and once again she was the most exalted woman in England now Mary could do whatever she wanted and rewrite history this is the records office of the House of The Lords here keep the original copies of every act of parliament from the Tudor period, they are organized monarch by monarch and one by one, here is George the first who goes here with the Stewarts and just around the corner the original laws of the period Tudor are different because they are flat so they are in boxes.

There are seventeen boxes for Mary's father, Henry the Eighth. Down here are the boxes for her brother Edward the Sixth and at the bottom, for Mary herself, one of the first acts of Mary's reign corrected what she believed. It was the greatest injustice of her father's reign. This law states that there was a conspiracy led by Thomas Cranmer to divorce her parents and make Mary a bastard. The law categorically states that Henry and Catherine were legally married in the eyes of God and that Mary was the rightful heir to the throne, magnificent words, but there is a lot of sound and fury because Mary was already Queen and was legitimately Queen, which is why her promotion had been so popular, but this act is about something else, it's about Maria's own mental state.

She had always known everything she had said that she was

real

ly legitimate and that she was the daughter of a legitimate marriage. This act ensured that the outside world recognized that inner certainty. With the pass now corrected, Maria could turn to the future and her marriage to her cousin. Emperor Charles V proposed his son Felipe, the only problem was that Felipe was Spanish. Mary was the first queen of England in her own right, but no one knew who would wield royal power if she married. The English hated the idea of ​​having a Spanish king. or was still becoming a mere satellite of the Empire, as usual in difficult circumstances, Mary appealed directly to God, the Queen, the imperial ambassador and her chief lady-in-waiting went to the Queen's private chapel, knelt before the Holy Supper at the altar and they sang. the great Latin hymn vanie create or Spiritus come Holy Spirit God descending Mary then rose again as one possessed and she said thus how God had chosen Joseph as a husband for the Virgin Mary thus - God had chosen a husband for her and his name was Philip and those whom God had joined together, let no man dare to separate after having sworn on the sacrament that she would marry Philip, no argument could change Mary's mind, she told Parliament, if I were forced to take her husband, who would not be to my liking, would do it. be the cause of my death because if I married against my will I would not live three months and have no children in the New Year the news reaches Mary of a conspiracy the matter of the Spanish marriage was destroying her kingdom in Kent a rich The knight Sir Thomas Wyatt had gathered a group of followers of over 3,000 men and led his men to London with the goal of deposing Mary and placing her sister Elizabeth on the throne with an English husband.

Maria was isolated in London and her information reports Wyatt's terrifying advance. He had few loyal forces in the capital to defend it and desperately needed support on February 1, 1554. Mary went in procession to the Guildhall here to speak to the people of London. She took to the campaign trail, the platform from which candidates for office addressed their fellow citizens during London's annual elections, and no politician has worked harder to win over popular opinion than Maria in her speech, she spoke with a deep voice and resonant. I am your rightfully crowned queen, she said and then lifted her coronation ring with this ring.

I got married. My kingdom has never come out of my finger and it will never come out of my finger. I have no children, so I have never known the love that a mother feels for her child, but I love you, my people, as a mother loves her child, and I swear to you. I never had the intention nor will I marry without the consent of my Council, my Parliament and you, my people, why your men were approaching the capital, crossed the Thames from Kingston and marched through Knightsbridge. Wyatt was dangerously close to taking the city while everyone else was losing his mind, Mary kept hers and, although there were even rumors that she would lead her own troops, this turned out not to be necessary;

However, as Wyatt and the rebels approached the city from the west, there were shocking, almost comical scenes of cowardice and confusion among the royal guards, but the city itself stood firm and the gates closed in Wyatt's face. Trapped, he had no choice but to surrender. Mary had won and proved that a woman could be as good a leader as any man. The leaders of the rebellion were quickly executed. Elizabeth whose name had been used as a rallying cry for the rebels was imprisoned in the tower. Mary would not risk her half-sister becoming a figurehead of discontent whom she had never trusted nor much liked.

Elizabeth the The mothers' rivalry descended on the daughters now that she had a reason to get Elizabeth out of the way thirty-six years after Mary was first engaged, she would finally marry. It was a moment she had spent most of her life preparing for. On 25 July 1554 Mary came here, to Winchester Cathedral, for her marriage, she warped the long length of the nave over a raised walkway that had been built from the west doors to the choir steps. There she climbs even higher to the platform on which the marriage took place. She was given as a gift by four nobles. men in the name of England and swore the old Catholic vows in which the woman promised to be Bonnie under her breast in bed and on board and instead of the jeweled alliances that were then in fashion she wore a simple, old-fashioned gold ring because it said She would marry as maidens did in ancient times because Mary was determined that amid the pomp and circumstances of the dynastic union it would be clear that theirs was a royal marriage based on love and destined to lead to the procreation of children.

There is no record. of what Felipe himself thought of his new wife, but María, 38, did not make a very favorable impression in the Spanish room, she was a perfect saint who dressed badly and Felipe's closest confidant praised his teacher for his tact and skill in dealing with a woman from whom he could expect neither physical pleasure nor satisfaction Maria, on the other hand, seemed genuinely in love with her new husband, wrote to her cousin and now father-in-law, Emperor Charles, this marriage and alliance make me happier than I can say how daily I discover in my king, my husband and your son so many virtues and perfections that I constantly ask God to grant me the grace to please him marriage marian phillips was presented to the world as a new beginning for england a Catholic England When Mary came to the throne England had been separated from the Roman Catholic Church for almost twenty years in what became known as the Great Schism.

Henry VIII had made himself, in place of the Pope, head of the church in England, the monasteries and similar abbeys were destroyed. for Henry believed that they could not be obedient both to Rome and to his king and country. Henry VIII's campaign had been surprisingly successful, but now that she was Queen Mary she was determined to undo what her father had done, she would restore not only the Roman Catholics. religion, would also rewrite English history once again for Mary England was and always would be a Catholic country The religious reforms of Henry and Edward were an aberration that could easily be eliminated and those who disagreed would be burned alive as heretics, but Mary believed That such resistance would last just over a year after Mary ascended the throne, amid great ceremony and great emotion, the schism ended and England once again joined the mother church in Rome on November 24, 1554. , when the papal envoy met Mary for the first time he greeted her in the opening phrases of the Arve Mary, hail, who art highly favored, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women, these are the words of the Annunciation in which the angel tells the Virgin Mary that she has conceived the Christ child, after the envoy left, Mary sent him a messenger to tell him that his prophetic greeting had been answered.

The baby she said had woken up in her womb. A miracle had happened and despite her years, Mary was pregnant once again. God had smiled on her In the spring of 1555, Mary eagerly awaited the birth of her first child, following the ancient ritual of the Queens of England. She was removed from public life and taken to her chamber here at Hampton Court for her confinement. All the leading Gentile women of the country came to witness the birth of her first child. Birth Elaborate baby clothes were embroidered. Rocking chairs were used and witnesses were brought. It may happen but no baby appeared on June 1st.

Mary reported some pain and doctors predicted the birth for the sixth, but the day came and went and rumors spread that the Queen was missing. pregnant, but seriously ill, perhaps even dead, a woman was rumored to have been approached by the king's men to give up her new son as a surrogate while the country waited, the mood turned from celebration to despondency and then To satisfaction, the summer was ruined by terrible storms. and the harvest fed even the Spanish ambassador began to think the unthinkable the entire future revolves around the confinement of the queen of which however there is no sign if everything goes well the state of the country will improve if it is a mistake I foresee convulsions and disturbances like no other pen can describe at the end of July no one except the Queen believed she was

real

ly pregnant it was a desperate time for Mary outside the palace her pregnancy had become a joke some said the fetus was a monkey others that it was a pet dog others still said that everything would end in wind but Mary did not give up and even in July after 11 months of supposed pregnancy she was still convinced that she was pregnant because the messenger of God had told her that she was pregnant, he could not be wrong, but finally even Mary had to admit the truth and on August 4, without any public announcement, she quietly slipped away from Hampton Court.

The pregnancy simulation was over, whether it was a phantom pregnancy or the result of a cyst or tumor is unclear, but when Felipe realized that there was no baby and that there was little prospect of having one, he decided he had more concerns. urgent and left England for the continent. Mary was distraught and she spent long hours watching the waters of the Thames which had carried away Philip conscious, but the personal unhappiness ofMary did not divert her from the policy of religious persecution; On the contrary, perhaps Protestants were proving unexpectedly brave. Mary determined to match his obstinacy with her own, you Lavra, a lame old man, and Juan empress, a blind man, would carry from the location a tent distracted flap and more quietly in the fires praising god Elizabeth Cooper has been condemned to be burned agitated distilled and as calm as someone very happy to finish that good work Lord Jesus have mercy on me Lord Jesus receive my spirit and these were the He was heard uttering the last words, but when his mouth was black and his tongue was swollen, he could not utter his lips when John Lee, who was apprenticed to a tallow, John Man when he came to the state raised his hands and Lifting his face to heaven, cried Oh England, England, repent of your sins.

All of these stories were recorded by John Fox in his book of martyrs. More than 300 Protestant men and women were burned for their beliefs over the next two years. It was a horrible way. die and could take an hour or more while the victims looked on as if their lower limbs were burned and their limbs shriveled and blackened sometimes out of mercy bags of gunpowder were tied around their necks to kill them quickly they rarely tried to avoid Mary was holy and personally committed to the policy of burning heretics alive, not that she was especially cruel, much less vengeful, she actually thought she was doing good and rescuing England from itself for heresy as a kind of betrayal against God was the worst Possible and deserved crime.

The worst possible punishment, the burnings came to a head with the trial of Cranmer, the man who had presided over the divorce. Mary blamed him for much of the unhappiness in her life, now was her chance to get back at her. Mary, of course, wouldn't have called. It's revenge but justice Cranber-- was found guilty and sentenced to be burned alive but at that time Cranmer was an old and broken man and the prospect of terrible death by fire led him to recant, he announced his life's work and accepted a Once again the Pope and the masses, this was a tremendous propaganda victory for Mary, but there was a problem as the war continued with her retraction.

Cranly's life should have been spared, but Mary was not going to let him get away so easily and both Fox's and Mary's story. The letters make clear that she personally intervened in ordering that, despite Cranmer's recantation, she should burn him, Mary's government decided to exploit the propaganda value of Cranmer's recantation by ordering him to hold a public meeting just before his execution, mounted grumpily on the specially constructed stage and began to read, it suddenly became clear that he was departing from his prepared text, he renounced his retraction, he said and then, above the growing uproar, shouted that the Pope was the enemy of Christ, an antichrist, and that the mass was an idolatry, his curses and applause, he was taken from the stage and dragged to the place of execution he was chained to the bonfire and then, in a gesture that is represented in the most famous wood engraving from the fox Book of Martyrs, he extended his right hand toward the flames so that the hand that would sign the retraction would be burned first.

It was a true martyrdom and the result was that Krannert's death did even more damage to Mary's cause than he had been able to do when he was alive and Mary had only herself and her insatiable desire for revenge to blame. fires became increasingly unpopular and made matters worse. Worse still for the third summer in a row, the harvest failed and a deadly flu epidemic broke out to add to her misery. Rumors reached Mary from the continent that Philip was having affairs and she begged him to return. I will be jealous and uncomfortable with you, which will be worse for me than death because I have already started to taste too much jealousy, much to my chagrin, and Philip came back, but he only stayed for months when he left.

Mary believed she was pregnant for the second time. She even wrote a will that clearly described the Catholic England of which she was heir to her unborn child, but by May 1558, once again no baby had arrived and Mary was seriously ill. The Spanish ambassador reported that he found her weak and melancholic even though it was clear that Maria would have no children that she refused to acknowledge. her half-sister as heir to the throne Elizabeth was everything Mary was not she was young beautiful and a symbol of hope Mary hated her as the daughter of Anne Boleyn, the woman who had started all the misery in Mary's life while Mary presided over the most significant English defeat in France after 211 years England lost Calais, her last foothold on the continent for Mary.

This was a terrible blow that destroyed her credibility at home and abroad. It was the final humiliation in September. Mary's illness steadily worsened as on the 7th of November she finally accepted that death was near, she now had no choice but to acknowledge that Elizabeth would be her heir, but tried to make her swear to uphold the Catholic restoration that had been the work of the entire life of Mary Mary was 42 years old and not old even by the standards of the day perhaps suffering from ovarian cancer or simply a victim of the flu epidemic that had already killed so many of her subjects that here Mary died on the 17th.

November 1558 During her final hours she often fell into a trance - in which she saw visions of young children playing instruments and singing like angels, but the fact that Mary had not had a child of her own meant that vision of Catholic England outlined with so much trust in his will crumbled. The monasteries she had founded here, such as Westminster Abbey, were dissolved and the monks expelled and the husband whom she had loved so deeply wrote that he felt moderate pain for her and quickly began to demand her hand. successor and his successor of Of course, Elizabeth was the daughter of the hated Anne Boleyn.

Mary is deceived even in her tomb because she is not buried with her mother Catherine as she had requested, but with Elizabeth there is a magnificent tomb above the tomb, but in her place it is a monument only to Elizabeth Mary. It is commemorated with a simple black marble slab that and the name of Infamy Perpetua Bloody Mary te
