Who was queen Mary aka bloody Mary?

Answer 1

"Bloody Mary" was a nickname given to Mary I of England, who was a staunch Catholic and who proposed to undo the move to Protestantism which took place in the reigns of her father Henry VIII and brother Edward VI. She used force to put down the supporters of Protestantism and put some of them to death, hence the moniker.

On Mary's death her sister Elizabeth succeeded to the throne and undid everything that Mary had done. Protestantism was restored and it was the Catholics who were put to death. However, Elizabeth was never called "Bloody Elizabeth".

Mary was not really in Shakespeare's time--she died 6 years before he was born. His parents would have remembered her well, however.
