Who was bloody Mary's love life?

If you are asking about Queen Mary I, who lived in England in the 1500s, she was not especially associated with love-- she did get married (to King Phillip II of Spain) but mostly she is associated with brutally persecuting Protestants in England, and trying to force the Catholic religion on them. Her nickname was "Bloody Mary" as a result of these persecutions.

If you are asking about the urban legend of Bloody Mary, that is a more recent story, and it is a fake. Supposedly, she is a ghost and if you chant her name in front of a mirror, her spirit emerges and she will kill you. But there is no evidence to support this story, which seems to have first been told sometime in the 1950s and spread even more with the internet era.

Who was King Edward VI and what did he do?

King Edward VI (sixth) was the son of King Henry VIII (eighth) and Jane Seymour. Henry was desperate for a son to inherit his throne, and have a heir to continue the family legacy.

At the time there were tensions between Protestants and Catholics. Henry had been a Catholic, and was taught Catholcism, but demands made by Protestant leaders and Henry ruling the Church of England without the Pope for not granting him a divorce with his first wife, (Catherine of Aragon) he supported the Protestants more.

Also, he had Edward taught by leading Protestants, but had his last law to be persecute Protestants. Edward, during his short rein, (he was King at 9 years old! However, his advisors ruled until he came of age at 12), changed the Church of England to Protestant laws and designs. Churches looked much more simpler than the elaborate designs of a Catholic church.

Edward had many laws change in the favour of Protestants, and had Catholic laws banned, and had Catholics persecuted. However, he died at 15, as people didn't live that long in those days, and disease and illnesses were more seriously considered than today.
