1516 1558 Ermine Regalia Roberts Sceptre Tudor Wale
EDITORS COMMENTS
Mary Tudor, also known as Mary I or Mary I of England, is depicted in this stunning 16th-century portrait wearing the regalia of the Queen of England. Mary, the only daughter of King Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, ascended to the throne in 1553 after the death of her brother, Edward VI. Her reign, which lasted from 1553 to 1558, is often referred to as the 'Catholic Reign of Mary Tudor.' In this image, Mary wears the traditional Tudor crown adorned with precious stones and ermine fur, symbolizing her royal status and power. She holds the orb and sceptre, emblems of monarchical authority, in her hands. The orb represents the power to rule over the kingdom, while the sceptre signifies the power to govern and enforce justice. Mary Tudor was a devout Catholic, and her reign saw the restoration of Catholicism as the official religion of England after a period of Protestant rule under Edward VI. This decision was controversial and led to the persecution of Protestants, earning her the nickname 'Bloody Mary.' Born in 1516, Mary Tudor was the first queen regnant of England, meaning she ruled in her own right as a woman, not as a regent for a male heir. Her reign was marked by political instability, religious conflict, and economic challenges. Despite these difficulties, she left a significant impact on English history and is remembered as a pivotal figure in the Tudor dynasty. This portrait, likely produced during Mary's reign, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and majesty of the Tudor court and the power and authority of the monarch. The intricate details of Mary's regalia, the rich colors, and the regal expression on her face all contribute to a sense of awe and reverence for the queen and the historical era she represents.
