Argument

I chose to do my project about Mary I, nicknamed "Bloody Mary" because I have heard
many times about the legends her.
Mary was a woman of strong convictions, iron will and ruthless. I think that she was quite
ruthless against opposition to her marriage to Phillip of Spain, but she was deeply in love
with Phillip. I strongly believe that she allowed him to sway her judgment , I think he drew
her into a war with France. Also I think that she was a product of her time and I believe the
experiences of her childhood made her deeply suspicious of those around her . Though she
was dubbed `Bloody` she was not as murderous as her father. I believe that her actions against
Protestants has to be viewed from a religious standpoint , in her mind she was doing "Gods"
work , bringing heretics to redemption and burning heretics was standard throughout Europe,
all were given the opportunity to recant and embrace the "Old Religion". Above all I think
that religion played a far more important part in the affairs of both state and man in Mary`s
time.
