As the fourth crowned monarch of the Tudor dynasty, Mary is remembered for her restoration of Roman Catholicism after the short-lived Protestant reign of her half-brother. During her five-year reign, she had over 280 religious dissenters burned at the stake in the Marian persecutions. Her re-establishment of Roman Catholicism was reversed after her death in 1558 by her younger half-sister and successor, Elizabeth I.
- Queen Mary I of England (18 February, 1516 – 17 November, 1558), also known as Mary Tudor, was Queen of England and Queen of Ireland from 6 July1553 (de jure) or 19 July 1553 (de facto) until her death. Mary, the fourth and penultimate monarch of the Tudor dynasty, is remembered for returning England from Protestantism to Roman Catholicism. To this end, she had almost three hundred religious dissenters executed; as a consequence, she is often known as Bloody Mary. Her religious policies, however, were in many cases reversed by her successor and half-sister, Elizabeth I (1558–1603). Mary and Elizabeth were both cousins of Mary, Queen of Scots.
- Mary I of England (18 February 1516 – 17 November 1558) was a member of England's royal House of Tudor and ruled as Queen of England from 1553 to 1558. A staunch Catholic, she restored Catholicism as the state religion of England after her father, Henry VIII, and younger brother, Edward VI, had made England a Protestant country. Her reign was marked by bloody persecutions of Protestants and members of her Parliament. Her husband was Spanish King Philip II, a marriage which produced no children. Marrying into the Hapsburg family led to her being crowned Queen of Naples and Queen of Jerusalem, though the latter title was purely formal as the Kingdom of Jerusalem had fallen more than two centuries earlier. Upon her death in 1558, Mary was succeeded by her half-sister, Elizabeth, a Protestant whom Mary had imprisoned in the Tower of London. Elizabeth restored that faith to state religion status and persecuted Catholics, though usually not as violently as Mary had persecuted Protestants.
