Elizabeth II is called Elizabeth II not because she is a descendant of Elizabeth I, but because she is the second Queen in England with the name Elizabeth.

Misunderstood Mary Tudor?

Personally, I think that Mary Tudor really deserved the title 'bloody' because, even though she had a bad and disruptive childhood, she managed to burn alive 284 people during her 5 years of reign. Also she didn't listen to the thoughts of her people, made huge religious changes, married Philip of Spain against the advise of many at court and lost Calais due to marrying him. At the same time, it was Philip of Spain who had made Mary Tudor unhappy and unpopular and also didn't like her very much. Overall, I argue that Mary Tudor deserved the title 'Bloody Mary'.

What did Mary 1 look like?

When young (teens/twenties) she was petite and slender. She had long red/gold ringlets, a fair complexion, blue eyes, snub nose and long fingers. She was considered to be very beautiful and ballads were written about her beauty.

When she was older (late thirties) her hard life took its toll on her appearance. She was very thin- described as emaciated, tight lipped, still had her fair complexion, had a piercing gaze- she became very short sighted and had some wrinkles caused by stress that made her look older than she was. Contrast to when she was 24 and thought to look 18. She was not considered ugly in her later life but was no longer considered beautiful either.

Who rules prussia?

Prussia was historically ruled by a series of monarchs, with the most notable being Frederick the Great, who reigned from 1740 to 1786 and expanded Prussia's territory and influence. The kingdom was part of the German Empire from its unification in 1871 until the empire's dissolution in 1918 after World War I. After the war, Prussia lost its status as a kingdom, and its territories were divided among the newly established Weimar Republic and later Nazi Germany. Ultimately, Prussia was officially dissolved in 1947 by the Allied powers following World War II.

What did Henry VIII call Anne Boleyn's breasts?

Several undated love letters from Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) to Anne Boleyn (c1501-07 - 1536) were found in the Vatican Library. They were probably originally stolen from Anne, during the annullment proceedings between Katherine of Aragon and Henry. As can be seen from this letter, Henry affectionately refers to Anne's "pretty dukkys":

Mine own sweetheart, these shall be to advertise you of the great loneliness that I find here since your departing, for I ensure you methinketh the time longer since your departing now last than I was wont to do a whole fortnight: I think your kindness and my fervents of love causeth it, for otherwise I would not have thought it possible that for so little a while it should have grieved me, but now that I am coming toward you methinketh my pains been half released.... Wishing myself (specially an evening) in my sweetheart's arms, whose pretty dukkys I trust shortly to kiss. Written with the hand of him that was, is, and shall be yours by his will.
