    Crown I bid adieu they said as king he must be sworn boys go first in the
    Queue but there's no worry if at first you don't succeed when Ed died I
    Swept aside the rest and was decreed
    Mary the first that's me Tudor lady and queen of England not to be confused
    With Mary queen of Scots not the same see though weirdly she's a cousin to
    Me
    Some tried to say Lady Jane Grey should be queen after Ed but England
    Wanted me hooray so poor Jane lost her head the Protestants were saying
    That my ruling made them sick 'cause when it comes to praying my tastes
    Were catholic they revolted, challenged me fuelled my great desire to tie
    300 to a steak light touch paper then retire
    Mary the first that's me called the bloody queen of England not what I
    Intended tried to be good you see but history only remembers I was a
    Catastrophe
    Married Phillip king of Spain who then left me England he thought was a
    Pain especially 'cause he told me to attack France with troops and when the
    French advanced we lost Calais oops through out my reign it rained and
    Rained it poured upon the poor the harvest failed no food remained and flu
    Killed many more burned Protestants and wed a fool led armies to defeat
    Burned more Prots I say more rule was short but not that sweet I had no
    Kids called half sis Liz as a big queen Bess to be so long as she would
    Rule the land as a catholic queen like me
    Lizee didn't listen she made the country Protestant meaning my legacy was
    Ruined see everything I tried to achieve went down the swanny

    Mary I of England wasn't crazy. She was perfectly sane and also wasn't evil. Executions were perfectly normal in those days and she executed way less people than her father or half sister Elizabeth. If Mary I was either evil or crazy she would have had her sister Elizabeth executed which she never did and certainly had plenty of opportunities to behead her for years. In the end she allowed her sister to succeed her to the throne knowing full well she was a protestant and would work against the Catholic faith and the pope. She was a true sister and is arguably the reason for why the UK is a protestant nation today.

    • @allyluna8377

      I wouldn't say Mary was evil but she wasn't an innocent angel either. Executions were normal of course but the amount of people she burned at the stake in the small amount of time she reigned is quite horrifying, she simply detested protestants. Mary could of executed Elizabeth however she had no heir , another reason there was no proof that Elizabeth even plotted against the Queen. Which if Elizabeth did die would make her a martyr.

      @@allyluna8377 I'm not going to say that she should be made a saint! But I feel badly for all of King Henry's wives, and both of his daughters. I was born in to a lovely Protestant family in the South, of the US, and converted to Catholicism. One should bear in mind that Mary was a devout Catholic, like her mother. And that she saw her mother disgraced and cast aside, herself demoted from Princess to Royal Bastard, and then the monasteries dismantled, and their wealth stolen, and the situation between Catholics and Protestants had already been nasty for some time. She also was likely around when Saint Thomas Moore was executed. Along with other Catholic martyrs, and spent at least a chunk of her life living in fear for her own head. It doesn't make everything that she did right, acceptable, or any more palatable. But one can at least understand, to a degree, where her head might have been at. And being human. There might have been an element of personal vengeance for herself, her mother, her faith, and people that she might have known, and respected or been fond of, being executed over all of it.

      And Mother taken away (She wasn’t allowed to see her own mother A.K.A the only parental figure that wasn’t negative.)
      Plus the fact of what EVERY woman want through this time (pressure, standards ,...)
      Plus the fact that’s he was the princess (until Anne came and made a daughter .)
      The fact that she LITTERALLY had 5 step mothers ... (not a stable environment for a child to grow .)
      And don’t get me started on what Henry did when he was alive . Because HOLY COW -

    • @SG-1-GRC
      @SG-1-GRC 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      They both executed a lot of people. Sometimes in relation to conspiracies like the Dudley conspiracy against Mary. But as an ordinary person I think it valid to point out Mary executed a lot more ordinary people; millers, brewers, weavers, smiths, pregnant housewives, tailors etc. Why? For religious beliefs, for studying the Bible in English, for not being able to answer certain questions relating Catholic dogma etc. I think that's why she tends to be seen as mad and 'bloody'.
      Although apprentices and some other ordinary people were executed under Elizabeth reign, largely those executed were gentry, aristocracy, priests (always aristocracy or gentry in those days) . Certainly some of the powerful Catholic families were conspiring against her as there were conspiracies against Mary.
      It's likely most wealthy Catholics were happy to just get along with their lives but they were also treated as suspect regardless.
      I think both Mary and Elizabeth were were determined to protect themselves. Religion and politics mixing meant that Catholic missionaries and priests saw Elizabeth as an unlawful monarch and Protestant clerics saw Mary as a usurper who had murdered Queen Jane the monarch chosen by their last King.
      In the time of Elizabeths reign one of the objectives of the papacy when sending priests to England was, with secular help from Spain and the Guise party in France, to overthrow Elizabeth and to establish a Catholic monarch. So Elizabeth's advisors saw potential political enemies and potential assassination plots in every powerful Catholic household whether they were there or not and
      Mary was concerned about prominent Protestant clerics preaching rebellion so she did have some of these executed.
      Personally I think the Tudor monarchs were a bloodthirsty lot.
      Interestingly there's some evidence that a few of the people killed by either Elizabeth or Mary had when themselves been in positions of relative royal protection practiced religious tolerance and quietly turned a blind eye to those practicing beliefs contrary to their own. Unfortunately for their them their monarchs did not exercise the same tolerance.

    [Lyrics]
    (Music)
    (Verse 1)
    King Henry 8th, my father thought I had some Tudor brothers. Mum had no sons so rather I have plenty of step mothers. When at last prince Ed was born the crown I bid adieu. Said as king he must be sworn boys go first in the queue. But there's no need to worry if at first you dont succeed. Because when Ed died, I swept aside and rest was decreed.
    (Chorus)
    Mary, the first that's me, Tudor lady and queen of England. Not to be confused with Mary, Queen of Scots. Not the same see? Though weirdly, she's a cousin to me.
    (Verse 2)
    Some tried to say Lady Jane Grey should be queen after Ed, but England wanted me hurrah, so poor Jane lost her head. Protestants were saying that my ruling made them sick, cause' when it cam eto praying my tastes were Catholic. They revolted, challenged me, fuelled my great desire. To tie 300 to a stake, like touch paper then retire.
    (Chorus)
    Mary the first, that's me, called the bloody queen of England. Not what I intended tried to be, good you see but history only remembers, I was a catastrophe.
    (Verse 3)
    Married Philip, king of Spain who then left me. England thought he was a pain especially. Cause' he told me to attack France with troops, but when the French advanced we lost Calais, Whoops!
    (Verse 4)
    Throughout my reign, it rained and rained it poured upon the poor, harvest failed, no food remained and flu killed many more. Burnt protestants and wed a fool led armies to defeat. Burned more prots', I say my rule was short but not that sweet. I had no kids I had a sis named half-sis Liz, she was a big queen Bess to be. As long as she would rule the land as a Catholic queen like me.
    (Verse 5)
    Lizzie, didnt listen she, made the country protestant. Meaning my legacy, was ruined see. Everything, I tried to achieve went down, swanny!
    A little embarrassing really.

      Young Mary was devout but reasonable and often kindhearted, pragmatic enough to see the truth and what she had to do after the failed revolt. Then personal tragedy turned her angry and vengeful, gave her a cruel streak. She was a very tragic woman and suffered a lot as the first true Queen of England.

    This is kinda hilariously ironic in some respects- Mary herself had a powerful, deep speaking voice and sang as a contralto (the deepest female vocal range). Belting out Cher, Bonnie Tyler, Sade, Tracey Chapman, Annie Lennox, and many others would be more Mary's style (plus I can see a parody of Total Eclipse of the Heart suiting her story quite well 🤣). What we've got here is almost the opposite!
