Mary I

Who was Mary I? Overview PowerPoint aimed at both KS3 (higher-ability) and KS4 to give a general overview of the main parts of Mary’s reign.
This includes:

• A recap of Edward VI’s reign (you can find the lesson on Edward elsewhere in my shop)
• Edward’s ‘devise for the Succession’ and the appointment of Lady Jane Grey
• The actions of Mary Tudor and the Duke of Northumberland immediately before the reign of Mary
• Reasons why Mary’s popularity waned throughout her reign including,
  • Persecution of Protestants
  • Unpopularity of the Spanish marriage
  • War with France and the loss of Calais

It then finishes by asking students to judge which factor they believe to be most significant in the decline of Mary’s popularity.
