Explanation:

- In 1554, Queen Mary I of England married Philip II of Spain. This marriage was a match made by Mary's cousin, who was also Phillip's father, Charles V. The majority of Mary's council and citizens opposed her marriage with Phillip, mainly because of the Catholic religion, which was a threat to the Protestant citizens of England.

- Mary was the first and only child of the English king of King Henry and Elizabeth of York. Her younger half-siblings were Queen Elizabeth I and King Edward VI.

- She was called Bloody Mary because she tried to re-establish Roman Catholicism in England, so she buried over 280 English protestants.

- Mary I of England was the very first queen to rule England of her own. She ruled from 1553 to 1558 after entering into Londo, seizing the throne and being recognized as queen.

- She was raised as a Catholic, so she wanted England to be a Roman Catholic nation, so she persecuted Protestants, in order to restore Roman Catholicism in England.
