Queen Mary I of England, known as "Bloody Mary," is often associated with the persecution of Protestants during her reign from 1553 to 1558. While there is no historical evidence that she specifically targeted pregnant women for execution, many individuals, including pregnant women, were executed for heresy under her rule. Her actions were driven by a desire to restore Catholicism in England, leading to widespread violence against those who opposed her religious policies.

What role did the women play in the 16th century?

women were challenged with expressing themselves in a patriarchal system that generally refused grant merit to women's views - Not all women were treated in this way. Consider the following women who ruled countries in the 16th century: Queen Mary I of England Queen Elizabeth I of England Queen Mary of Scotland Queen Catherine of Navarre Queen Joan III of Navarre Queen Isabella I of Spain Queen Joanna of Spain Queen Anna of Poland Some of these women were pretty fierce. And my suspicion is that these were not the only women in 16th century Europe who had important roles to play.
