For those of you that don't know, the English Queen later dubbed "bloody Mary" by the Protestants was Queen Mary I who lived in the 1500's and reigned from 1553-1558 so she only reigned for about 5 years. During her five year reign though she did many barbaric things like burning over 300 Protestants at the stake just for the sole reason of wanting to restore Catholicism to England. While many Christians will agree today that what she did was barbaric it wasn't quite that way in England at the time. The punishment for religious heresy back then was death and many of the religious English people were Catholics loyal to the pope at the time. So they viewed her as a "right" and "just" Queen.
However, was that really the case? Was it really right of bloody Mary to burn tons of Protestants at the stake just for the sole purpose of restoring Catholicism to England? Which, completely failed after her death in 1558. So those Protestants basically died for nothing. Because Protestantism has been the main religion of England ever since her Father King Henry VIII and Brother King Edward VI instituted it.
