Differences between Mary queen of scotts and Mary Tudor?

Answer 1

Mary I Tudor- of the Tudor dynasty as her name indicates is the monarch popularily callede (Bloody Mary) She was the daughter of Henry VIII and Katharine of Aragon who was a Spanish Princess. She ( Mary) was fanatically Roman Catholic and persecuted and harrassed other denominations such as Protestants. She only reigned five years- but made quite a ruckus. Mary Tudor died in l558 and was succeeded by Elizabeth I, her half-sister , also a daughter of Henry Viii. Mary, Queen of Scots, or Mary Stuart is another monarch. She was born in France and technically may also be considered a French queen who married into theScottish royal family.Both Maries were devout Roman Catholics. Mary Stuart ( of Scots) was executed by decapitation- an Axe being wielded, the axe-man was allowed three strokes ( don"t mention Baseball) he got the job done in two, as on strike two Mary"s head was completely severed from her body- the whole tragic tale is documented in the book Mary Queen Of Scots by Antonia Fraser. Okay- Mary Stuart was executed in l587, in the reign of Elizabeth. By accident of history both Queens are buried in Westminster Abbey and Mary Stuart has the more opulent recumbent monument.Because of her violent end, it is perhaps inevitable people, including the Occult writer Fodor, get the two Queens confused but with Mary Stuart it was her OWN blood which was shed, not political heretics.

good luck!
