Mary Tudor's father King Henry VIII had declared the Church of England to be separated from the Roman Catholic Church and to be exclusively under the control of the English monarchy. Mary, having retained the Roman Catholic faith of her Spanish mother Catherine of Aragon, wanted to return control of the Church of England to the Pope in Rome and to restore Roman Catholicism throughout England. Upon the death of her 15-year-old half-brother King Edward VI in 1553, and following a brief attempted coup involving Henry's grand-niece Lady Jane Grey, Mary Tudor acceded to the throne as Mary I Queen of England. She immediately restored the Roman Catholic Church in England. She began a series of gruesome public executions of political and non-catholic religious enemies that lasted for the rest of her reign and earned her the nickname "Bloody Mary". Upon the death of Mary I at age 42 in 1558, she was succeeded on the throne by her half-sister Elizabeth Tudor, daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. Queen Elizabeth I immediately severed religious ties to the Roman Catholic Papacy and returned control of the Church of England to the English monarchy.

Mary I was the daughter of Henry VIII, and made significant changes to the church. Namely, she tried to convert England back to Catholicism, because she had remained Catholic, even though her father had been excommunicated by the pope. Mary I burned those citizens who refused to convert back.

Mary's father, Henry VIII, had created a mildly Protestant Church of England mainly to get a divorce from his wife. Mary, however, was a very devout Catholic so she changed England's religion back to Catholicism. Her predecessor (and younger half sister) Elizabeth, changed the religion again back to a strong Protestantism, although she was known for religious toleration.
