This urban legend is so popular that stories poured in. Here, you'll find an array of interesting variations sent in by our visitors. You can read more about the legend here. So who is the real Bloody Mary? Some think they really know, others aren't quite so sure. As you can see, the controversy continues.
Mary Tudor was the jewel of England. The prized possession of her parents, King Henry Tudor VIII of England and Queen Katherine (Catalina) of Spain and Aragon. When The Queen could not provide a son by the time Mary was 10, King Henry sent her away to one of their castles in the marshes. She died a number of years later with out seeing Mary before her death.
Mary was around the age of 19. In those seven years, Mary had been turned into what only could be called an bastard child. The king had also taken up a mistress, Anne Bolen. She gave birth to Elizabeth I. Edward VI was from another mistress that was soon crowned Queen. She later died. When Mary would not submerge to the Kings rule, accepting Anne as the Queen and declaring herself a bastard child, he made himself head of church so she could not refuse him. Mary had to sign the contract or be faced with death.
When still, she obeyed her mother's wishes for her to become Queen and not a bastard child, King Henry declared himself head of church over the pope. She signed and avoided the death penalty. When Henry died, leaving only bastard children, Mary became the first female Queen of England. She made the pope head of church again.
She killed the people that opposed her and still wanted things to be like they where when her father ruled. She killed so many for the sake of England. She later fell in love with a Prince Philip, but he soon left her to return to his hailing county. Some say she went mad like her Aunt Juana when her husband died. The truth may never be reveled about the real Bloody Mary. This story may not be accurate, but It is the best I have come up with. By Rachael
