Many believe the drink was later dubbed a Bloody Mary after Queen Mary Tudor and her particularly bloody reign over England in the 16th century. However, a 1934 ad, noted by Esquire, states that entertainer George Jessel named the drink after a friend, Mary Geraghty.She was the first-ever Queen of England to rule in her own right, but to her critics, Mary I of England has long been known only as “Bloody Mary.” This unfortunate nickname was thanks to her persecution of Protestant heretics, whom she burned at the stake in the hundreds

Queen Mary I earned the title of "Bloody" Mary because she burned Protestants at the stake if they rebelled or didn't convert to Catholocism. She wanted to bring Catholocism back to England from the Protestants. She married Prince Phillip of Spain, a Catholic, making her very unpopular, and brought Catholic rule back to England. Many Protestants rebelled, and rioted, and they were burned alive at the stake as their death sentence.
