In this video Kevin Hicks explores the life of Tudor Queen Mary, her “Bloody Mary” reputation and the fate of martyrs during her reign. Bloody Mary, fifth monarch of the Tudor dynasty in England. Her short, 5 year reign was marked by her brutal attempt to reinstate Roman Catholicism in a predominantly Protestant England. She is infamously known for her widespread persecution of Protestants, resulting in over 280 burnings at the stake for heresy. The question of whether Bloody Mary deserves her infamous title is a subject of ongoing debate. Ultimately, the answer depends on your perspective and interpretation of the events of her reign. #BloodyMary #QueenMaryI #MaryI #Tudor #Tudors #Heresy #Martyr #Execution #BurningattheStake #BurnedattheStake If you'd like to support the channel further on PATREON, and help us continue making fun, fascinating videos, check out our PATREON page https://www.patreon.com/thehistorysquad OTHER LINKS: Website: https://historysquad.ca/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/historysquad Twitter: https://twitter.com/history_hicks
