During her reign, she tried to abolish the New Church of England established by her father Henry VIII and reestablish the Catholic church. She then branded all Protestants as heretics and with permission from the Pope, proceeded to burn and kill nearly 300 such heretics. This earned her the reputation of Bloody Mary.and that is why the legend goes on abot "Bloody Mary."

First things first, Mary I was in the Tudor times. She was one of Henry VIII daughters. People called her bloody Mary as she killed a lot of people. It is also said, that if you go into your bathroom and say 'Bloody Mary' in the mirror three times, she will haunt you at night and kill you. I don't believe in that anymore as i tried it, it didn't work.

Elizabeth was not known as "Bloody Mary". Her half sister, Mary, daughter of Katherine of Aragon, was known as Bloody Mary due to her efforts to impose Catholicism on the English. Many people were executed, martyred, and burnt at the stake for their beliefs.
