EDITORS COMMENTS
Mary Tudor, also known as Mary I or Mary I of England, is depicted in this historic print with a solemn expression, reflecting the tumultuous reign that made her the first queen regnant of England from 1553 to 1558. Born in Greenwich Palace in 1516, Mary was the daughter of King Henry VIII and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Her frowning countenance in this image belies the complex and intriguing life she led. Mary's upbringing was marked by political intrigue and religious turmoil. She was raised a devout Catholic in a Protestant-leaning court, and her marriage to Philip of Spain in 1554 further solidified her commitment to the Catholic faith. In response to the Protestant Reformation, which had gained significant traction during the reigns of her father and brother, Mary embarked on a campaign to restore Catholicism as the dominant religion in England. This included the persecution and execution of Protestants, earning her the nickname "Bloody Mary." Mary's regal attire in this print is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Tudor era. She wears an ornate ermine-trimmed robe, a symbol of her royal status, and a ruff, a high, starched collar that was fashionable during the late 16th century. Atop her head, she dons a magnificent headdress, adorned with pearls and precious stones, which adds to her regal and imposing presence. This print, with its intricate details and historical significance, offers a glimpse into the life of one of England's most fascinating monarchs. Mary Tudor's reign was marked by religious strife, political upheaval, and personal tragedy, yet her legacy continues to captivate historians and enthusiasts alike.
