Queen Mary I

Queen Mary I or Bloody Mary was not the first queen of England. Lady Jane Grey was next in line after Henry VIII, but reigned for only 9 days after Mary I entered London with her supporters and executed Lady Jane Grey at age 17. The Queen's nickname came from the huge numbers of people that she killed to return England to the Catholic faith.
