Mary I Queen Of ENGLAND

Other Events and Attributes:

• Fact: 19 Jul 1553, Acceded
• Fact 1: 1 Oct 1553, Crowned at Westminster Abbey

Notes:

Name:
The daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, Mary was, like her mother, a fervent Catholic. With public support, she deposed the interloper Lady Jane Grey. Mary had numerous Protestants burned at the stake for heresy, repealed Protestant legislation, and restored Papal supremacy in England.

CRUEL QUEEN

While Mary's strong Catholic faith gave her a great sense of purpose, it also made her obstinate and narrow minded. Many cruelties were perpetuated in her name in order to restore England to Catholicism.

Mary married Philip II Of SPAIN on 25 Jul 1554 in Winchester Cathedral. Philip (son of Charles V Holy Roman EMPEROR and Isabella Of PORTUGAL) was born on 21 May 1527 in Palacio de Pimentel, Valladolid, Spain; died on 13 Sep 1598 in El Escorial, Spain. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
