She became Queen of England in 1553 after the death of her half-brother Edward VI at the age of 15 and the removal and execution of the upstart Lady Jane Grey, the nine-days-queen. She ruled England for 5 years until 1558, during which time she tried to reverse the secession of the English church from Rome. Nearly 300 Protestants who refused to revert back to Catholicism were burnt at the stake. She married Prince Philip, later Philip II, of Spain who went back to Spain soon after. They had no children. After her death her half-sister Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth I.
