For nearly five centuries she has been remembered by a nickname: Bloody Mary. But was Mary Tudor really the monster history made her out to be? In this episode of Rearview Mirror Chronicles, we look beyond the propaganda and meet the woman behind the legend. 

From her childhood as the beloved daughter of Henry VIII, to her humiliation at the hands of Anne Boleyn, her dramatic seizure of the English throne, her marriage to Philip of Spain, and the religious persecutions that forever stained her reputation, this is the story of England's first queen regnant. 

Was she a ruthless fanatic, a tragic idealist, or simply a ruler trapped by the brutal realities of Tudor England? Join me as we explore one of history's most misunderstood monarchs and ask whether Bloody Mary deserves her infamous name.
