6Many Martyrs died under Marys orders
Latimer Ridley are burnt alive at Oxford in
the year 1555. Then they brought a lighted
stick, and laid the same down at Ridleys feet
upon which Latimer said, Be of good comfort,
Master Ridley, and play the man. We shall this
day light such a candle, by Gods grace, in
England, as I trust shall never be put out.
(Foxe's Book of Martyrs)
7Thomas Crammer being burnt at the stake
Sometimes peoples fingers and toes would fall off
as they were being burnt, rolling into the crowd
8Mary needed a baby, an heir, to carry on making
Catholic changes to England after her death
9Philip and Mary thought that she was pregnant
but it was a false alarm a tumour in the
stomach. This made Mary extremely uncomfortable
until she died in 1558
10Mary, Mary quite contrary, How does your
garden grow? With silver bells And
cockleshells, And pretty maids all in a row
Pregnant or not?
Mary
longed for a baby. She was delighted when she
thought she was pregnant soon after marrying her
husband. However, she soon found out she wasnt
pregnant at all her stomach pains were a symptom
of cancer. The poem ridicules the fact that
nothing with grow inside her.
Problems in childbirth
Mary was rumoured to have had some children,
but each little girl was stillborn Mary was
suppose to have them buried secretly in a long
row of graves
King Philip of Spain the love rat
Marys husband
wasnt very loving. King Philip hardly ever saw
her during their marriage. Also he had affairs
with lots of other women. In Tudor England, this
was called cuckolding.
Changing her mind
Contrary means opposite. If a person is contrary
it often means they are taking a different view
just for the sake of it. Mary was accused of
being awkward by wanting to change England back
to a Catholic country.
A poor taste in music
Mary enjoyed listening to the sound of
church bells. This music was unfashionable at the
time.
