How far do you agree with this interpretation?<br /><br />For<br />I think that Mary did deserve her nickname because she burned on average one person every five days (including her execution for lady jane grey and her husband,as a rival for the english crown) for refusing to convert to Catholicism.This meant that she burnt up to 284 people in a year! Another reason which Mary I did deserve her nickname is because she saw that the burnings of protestants had no effect on the religious beliefs of the protestants yet she still chose to continue with them (and her executions and imprisoning including her sister).This shows that Mary proceeded to kill them even though they won’t listen because she found it entertaining.Also she killed many important people in the church such as the archbishop and lied to everyone by saying people could worship as they wished but then she arrested,imprisoned and even executed protestants.Many people celebrated in the streets of London when Queen Mary I died.She was said to have plotted against her brother,Edward VI whilst he was king.Therefore,this shows that many people had a hate for her and her doings and that she deserved her nickname, her reputation and that she was the cruellest Tudor.<br /><br />Against<br />Some people may argue that Mary I did not deserve her nickname as many other monarchs executed far more people than Mary in other horrid ways.This meant that she was not the only one doing this as Mary’s father-in-law who had been king of spain, burned, beheaded or buried alive thirty thousand protestants during his reign. This was allowed as it was common in the 16th century to punish anyone you disagreed with.Another reason why people might argue that Mary I did not deserve her reputation was because in her early reign Mary appeared to have disliked brutality as she forgave four hundred people who rebelled against her in a rebellion and she allowed eight hundred protestants to flee from the country while she could have stopped them from doing this and killed them.<br /><br />Conclusion<br />In conclusion,some argue that Mary I deserved her reputation and nickname while others think the quite opposite of that.In my opinion,is that she did deserve the name because even if many other people did it,that did not make it right.Both of these arguments are good and give a strong point of if she deserves or does not deserve her reputation or nickname.<br /><br />this is how far i've got tell me if you pick mine tyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09404578591673174836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16981893.post-20476047986835820442020-06-23T04:06:13.769-05:002020-06-23T04:06:13.769-05:00thank you I am doing a piece on this tothank you I am doing a piece on this toAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16981893.post-77881471895821678672019-11-17T08:18:02.174-06:002019-11-17T08:18:02.174-06:00I feel very strongly that Mary deserved the name o...I feel very strongly that Mary deserved the name of “Bloody Mary” because of the terrible suffering she caused to so many people in the name of religion. She could possibly have achieved her aim of a Catholic country by the use of argument and persuasion instead of resorting to murder. Her methods also ensured that many Englishmen grew to hate and fear her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16981893.post-37176346040616400122019-03-18T13:11:48.168-05:002019-03-18T13:11:48.168-05:00Even though this is a rather uncommon opinion, I t...Even though this is a rather uncommon opinion, I think Mary did not deserve her nickname. Not only was she in a bad state of mind (She lost the love of her life, and he mistreated her. She had multiple phantom pregnancies. And she had a very bad, traumatic childhood)which already had her fueled with anger. She wanted England to be a catholic country, she believed what she was doing was purifying the souls of the (in her perspective) "sinners". Compared to A LOT of other Tudors, Mary killed very few people, her father, Henry VIII killed around 72,000 people. He wasn't given a cruel nickname. However, it is reasonable that people gave her her nickname. She killed innocent people for their religion. She killed people in some cases, for her own personal pleasure, which is incredibly cruel, even for her. Her reign was very short compared to others, Elizabeth I ruled for 44 years and burned a mere 5 people. Tiny compared to Mary's killings. She also lied about sparing her cousin Lady Jane Grey's life, she was burned at the stake.marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03186265608968293418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16981893.post-21953706815501523792017-01-02T06:28:30.244-06:002017-01-02T06:28:30.244-06:00I'm doing this essay too.

I also think that one reason that she didn't deserve her nickname was because she had a very traumatic love-life (as well as childhood) because she was pregnant with 7 children, but never gave birth to any of them alive and then her husband left her.
