Mary I (1 Jul 1553 Jahr – 17 Nov 1558 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

Edward's half-sister Mary takes the throne, after a power struggle. At first Mary I enjoys widespread popular support. But many oppose her decision to marry Catholic Phillip II of Spain and reconcile with Rome. She attempts to take England back to Catholicism. During her reign nearly 300 Protestants are burned for refusing to reconvert, earning her the nickname 'Bloody Mary'.
