 Who was she?

Mary I, also called Mary

Tudor, was born on February 18,
1516, Greenwich and died
November 17, 1558, in London
She was the first queen to
rule England (1553–58) in her
own right.
 Why Bloody Mary

Mary Tudor was nicknamed Bloody

when she became queen because she
used to burn Protestant heretics because
she didn’t want people who weren’t
Christians to live.
 Mary Mary quite contrary
The nursery rhyme”Mary Mary quite
contrary” was actually something the
townspeople made. The first line “Quite
contrary" is said to be a reference to her
unsuccessful attempt to reverse the changes
effected by her father Henry VIII and her
brother Edward VI. “How does your garden
grow was because she was never able to have
children.The silver bells and cockle
shells referred were used for instruments of
torture. The 'silver bells' were thumbscrews
which crushed the thumb between two hard
surfaces by the tightening of a screw.The
"pretty maids all in a row" is speculated to be
a reference to miscarriages or her execution
of Lady Jane Grey.
 Her death

it was suggested
that Mary Tudor most likely
died of the 'new burning ague',
and that most probably 'it was
influenza. She had long suffered
from a disease which she called
her "old guest".
