Mary I (18 February 1516 – 17 November 1558), also known as Mary Tudor, and as “Bloody Mary” by her Protestant opponents, was Queen of England and Ireland from July 1553 until her death in 1558. She is best known for her vigorous attempt to reverse the English Reformation, which had begun during the reign of her father, Henry VIII. Mary had over 280 religious dissenters burned at the stake in the Marian persecutions. We study this as part of the Tudors - Does she deserve to be called Bloody Mary or was this just a fabrication to vilify the Catholic faith? This documentary is an excellent starting point and the question sheet allows for various discussion points throughout.
