Bloody Mary

Description of Bloody Mary Tudor The character of Bloody Mary Tudor : Bloody Mary Tudor was a princess of royal blood from both her mother and father's ancestors. Mary was born to be a Queen and had a noble bearing. In her youth she was considered to be pretty and had a love for fine clothes and jewels. The bitter divorce between her mother, Catharine of Aragon and King Henry VIII changed the character of Mary. The treatment of her mother and the threat to herself if she failed to acknowledge the new status of her beloved mother and her own status turned her into a bitter woman. The establishment of the Church of England was deemed as heretical by the ardent Catholic Mary Tudor - her mission was to return England to the Catholic faith and turned her into a fanatical and obsessive woman. All of these events took their toll on her looks and her health.
