After Edward's death, Lady Jane Grey was proclaimed Queen on 10 July 1553 but was soon replaced by Mary Tudor, who fled to East Anglia for safety.

On 1 October 1553, Mary was crowned Mary I at Westminster Abbey, becoming the first queen to rule England in her own right.

Known as "Bloody Mary," she ordered the execution of 280 Protestants in an effort to restore Catholicism, which led to the emergence of a hidden Protestant church in London.
