No, but after burning up to 300 people her hard work paid off. Just before she died she finally got England Catholic. Most Protestants were either dead or had left the country. Mary thought that killing her enemies would make her look like a strong queen and that she should be obeyed, and when people tried to rebel against her, they got no support because the whole of England were frightened of Mary.
Hope this helps :P
No Elizabeth did not make England Catholic that was he sister Mary I as soon as Mary died Elizabeth became queen and wanted to change the country back to Protestant.
She was determined to make England Roman Catholic again.
She burned every opposing person. (Who wouldn't become a Catholic)
He was married to Mary Tudor (Bloody Mary). He was a Catholic. When Elizabeth (Mary's sister) was on the throne he tried to make England a catholic country again. He was in charge of the Spanish Armada (against Elizabeth).
Because Edward VI and Mary I had different mothers, they were brought up to follow different beliefs (Mary's mother was Catherine of Aragon = Catholic & Edward's mother was Jane Seymour = Protestant) Edward VI was a puritan ( a Protestant extremist) and Mary I was a Catholic extremist, so this was all about religion; Edward VI had made England a very Protestant country and he knew that if his half sister Mary I successed him that she would make England a Catholic country. This is why he did not want her to become Queen of England. Hope this helps :)
Spain was a Catholic country and wanted England to be Catholic as well. Elizabeth was Protestant, so to get what they wanted, the Spanish wished to replace her with the Catholic, Mary Queen of Scots. The Spanish also believed that Elizabeth was illegitimate making Mary the true heir to the English throne.
one reason is that she burnt them in the hope that it would persuade the other protestants to become catholic again. one reason is that she burnt them in the hope that it would persuade the other protestants to become catholic again. Mary Tudor believed that the only way to go to heaven was to be catholic.
Mary 1 was a staunch Catholic. Because of her bloodthirsty persecution of Protestants, she became known as 'Bloody Mary'. The 'Bloody Mary' cocktail (vodka and tomato juice) is named after her.
Philip II of Spain was unable to control England through Mary. Elizabeth refused to marry him so he could not make England a Catholic nation again. He also failed to keep the Netherlands a Catholic naation.
Queen Mary was hampered by the fact that in her brother Edward's minority, the protestant nobility took over the Parliament. Even though two monarchs back (up through Henry VIII's early rule) England was thoroughly Catholic, and would have been again, except that Queen Mary left no Catholic heir, and thus her protestant sister, Elizabeth took over the throne at her death and returned the country to protestantism. She had to, the Catholic Church saw her as illegitimate.
Yes, King Philip II of Spain was appalled when he heard Elizabeth had beheaded Mary Queen Of Scots, a Catholic Queen. And so decided she was to be removed from the throne and disposed of accordingly. This is why the Armada set sail for England.
