Description
Mary Tudor's reign was marked by swift and total revenge against the church and those who opposed her. Her actions were swift and merciless, earning her a lasting reputation as Bloody Mary. The Catholic faith was restored to England during her brief period in power, but at great cost. Over 280 Protestant martyrs were burned at the stake, and many more suffered under her rule. The executioner's axe and the flames of the fires seemed to epitomize the reactionary forces that had assumed control. This book examines Mary Tudor's reign and its impact on England, a period marked by intense religious conflict and bloodshed.
