Mary Tudor, also known as Mary I of England and familiarly known as Bloody Mary, was queen of England until her death in 1558. Six years later, the wife of a glover in Stratford on Avon gave birth to a baby boy. The name of this child was William Shakespeare who was totally unrelated to Queen Mary.
