But we actually dont know the story behind the strangest lady. Why is she called Bloody Mary? Was all this true? Let's explore 'The world behind the world'.

Queen Mary I, the first queen regnant of England. She was born on 18th February, 1516 in Greenwich,England. The only child of King Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon. Her problem started when she was 17 when her father annulled his marriage to her mother frustrated to have a son who will be next ruler of the kingdom. She was not allowed to meet her mother and that was the phase from where her problem started. Also from her teen years, Mary had been plagued with terrible menstrual pains and irregularity in her cycles, which would be attributed to her eventual physical and psychological stress later in life. After all Mary eventually took the throne in 1553 at the age of 37 and promptly married Philip of Spain in the hopes of conceiving an heir. She was in a hope that from now on all her hardships will get an end but something more worse was written for her. After a while she thought that she was pregnant and was really happy about it. But the people of the kingdom got to know about her pregnancy and assumed that she is falsing her pregnancy. But Mary went into a private chamber where she was confined for six weeks before her expected due date of May 9.

Around late May Mary’s belly began to shrink.Unable to explain or understand what was happening to her body, she continued to wait as those around her slowly lost hope.Expected date got shifted to july and then to August.

At the time of Mary’s pregnancy, the people of England were divided between Protestants and Catholics. Mary, determined to unite her people under “the true religion” of the land, took action by signing an act shortly before Christmas in 1554 that would result in the Marian Persecutions, in which an estimated 240 men and 60 women were sentenced as Protestants and burned at the stake, earning her the name “Bloody Mary” forevermore.

She died at the age of 42. All her pain and hardships got an end. But some things remains unjustified and certainly this was the one.
