I have danced around the story of Mary Tudor, oldest daughter of Henry VIII, for far too long. It's finally time to recognize Mary with her own episode, the perfect story to wrap up Women's History Month. This is a tragic story. The lot cast upon Mary was often cruel and unjust, her life marred by trauma and heartache. But it's also a story of triumph, an underdog rising up, overcoming insurmountable challenges to claim her rightful place as England's first ever queen regnant. Despite being villainized by history ever since, cast as "Bloody Mary," the stuff of childhood urban legends and sleepover games, Mary was no more evil than her father and brother who came before her or her sister, Elizabeth I, who came after her. So what happened? Why has the myth of "Bloody Mary" persisted for so long and who was Mary Tudor, Queen Mary I, really? Let's fix that. Support the show! Join the Patreon (patreon.com/historyfixpodcast)Buy some merchBuy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaineSources: Royal Museums Greenwich "Why is Mary I Known As 'Bloody Mary?'"History Extra "The lost heirs of Henry VIII"Smithsonian Magazine "The Myth of Bloody Mary"History.com "What Inspired Queen 'Bloody' Mary's Gruesome Nickname?"The Fitzwilliam Museum "Mary Tudor"Tudor Extra "The Illness, Death, and Burial of Mary I"Wikipedia "Mary I of England"Wikipedia "The Education of a Christian Woman"Shoot me a message!

Historian and television presenter Lucy Worsley brings us back to the 16th century to discuss the history of Tudor England. We talk about Thomas Cromwell, King Henry VIII's reign, and how his eldest child, Mary Tudor, earned the nickname Bloody Mary. 

Are you giving God your leftovers? In this soul-searching episode, Jesse Cope challenges us to examine how we allocate our time and what those choices reveal about our true priorities. When we honestly assess the minutes and hours devoted to scrolling, watching sports, or working out compared to our time with God, the results can be uncomfortable—even convicting.With raw honesty, Jesse admits his own struggle with rushing through spiritual disciplines just to check them off a list. "Why in the world would we rush through time with the God of the universe?" he asks. This powerful question opens a deeper exploration into what we truly trust and value in our lives.The podcast moves seamlessly from personal devotion to marital relationships, drawing parallels between how we approach God and how we treat our spouses. Jesse highlights the danger of demanding that our partners fulfill biblical roles while neglecting our own responsibilities—a hypocrisy that has led to countless broken marriages. "If you're not loving your spouse each day," he cautions, "then you don't really love them."The heart of this episode lies in its compelling accounts of Christian martyrs from history. Through the stories of John Hooper and John Bradford, who were executed during "Bloody Mary" Tudor's reign, listeners are reminded of the supreme courage of those who chose death over denying their faith. Jesse's retelling of Bradford's final words before execution—"Brother, be of good comfort, for we shall have a merry supper with the Lord this night"—provides a powerful perspective on what matters most in life.Join the conversation that might just reshape your priorities, strengthen your faith, and inspire you to stand firm in your convictions, regardless of the cost.

What happens when a Tudor princess defies royal duty, breaks all the rules, and marries for love? Scandal, outrage, and the fury of two kings!   On this day in Tudor history, 14th January 1515, Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, was sent to France on a mission to bring the recently widowed Mary Tudor, Queen of France, back to England. But instead of following orders, the king's best friend and favourite sister had a secret plan—a scandalous marriage that rocked two thrones.   Mary Tudor had been forced into a political marriage with a king old enough to be her grandfather. When he died, she seized her chance to follow her heart. But her choice—Charles Brandon—could've cost them everything.   The new King of France, Francis I, was furious. Henry VIII, her brother, was enraged. Brandon's life hung in the balance… until Mary struck a deal that cost her dearly.   Despite the scandal, their marriage became one of the few genuinely happy royal marriages in Tudor history. But it came at a price.   Would you risk everything to marry for love in Tudor times?   Join me as we explore the rebellious romance that rocked Europe!    #TudorHistory #CharlesBrandon #MaryTudor #TudorScandal #HistoricalMysteries #OnThisDay #TudorLoveStory #RoyalDrama #HistoryFacts #TudorEngland

What if Lady Jane Grey, the Nine Days Queen, had been born a boy—Lord John Grey? Would England's history have been completely rewritten? In 1553, the Protestant King Edward VI skipped over his Catholic sister Mary and named his cousin Lady Jane Grey as his successor. But imagine if Jane had been a male heir instead. Would Mary have still managed to rally support and claim the throne? A male Lord John Grey would have been far more acceptable to Tudor society, and it's likely he would have succeeded in becoming king. But what would that have meant for England's future? - Would England have become a Puritan state? - What would have happened to Mary Tudor? - Would Elizabeth I have ever taken the throne? In this fascinating alternate history, I explore how England's politics, religion, and culture might have changed if a Protestant King John II had ruled instead of Mary I. It's a "what if" scenario with huge implications. Let me know in the comments: Would King John have ushered in a Puritan regime? Or would civil unrest have toppled him?

On this day in Tudor history, 1st January 1515, King Louis XII of France passed away at just 52 years old, less than three months into his marriage to the young and vibrant Mary Tudor, sister of King Henry VIII. Was his death due to illness or, as the French people whispered, the toll of overexerting himself in hopes of securing an heir?

After his father shipped his sister Margaret off to be the Queen of Scotland, it fell to Henry VIII to manage his baby sister Mary's love life. A genuine beauty, France's King Louis XII, then 52, was undoubtedly happy to walk down the aisle with the 18-year-old English princess. The bliss would not last, as just three or so months later, Louis was dead, with salacious whispers in the French court that Mary had "intercoursed" him to death. Ah, the 16th century. But this wasn't the end for Mary's heart, not by a long shot. It turns out that she had long nurtured a desire for Tudor courtier and man-about-town Charles Brandon. Charles's father had been a loyal partisan of Henry Tudor's claim to the throne before he became Henry VII, and Sir William Brandon had died at the Battle of Bosworth Field. Young Charles was raised at court, a few years older than Henry VIII, and enjoyed a bit of hero worship from the future king. He was also a scoundrel who fleeced a number of rich women (and girls) through the hazy definitions of marriage and engagement in the period. Still, in spite of Henry making him promise not to marry his sister, Charles was dispatched to France after the death of Louis XII to negotiate the young queen's return to England, and once there, the long-suffering Mary convinced the dashing man of her dreams to abandon the pledge and marry her anyway. Her brother was, to put it mildly, displeased. Listen ad-free at patreon.com/trashyroyalspodcast. To advertise on this podcast, reach out to info@amplitudemediapartners.com.

Prinzessinnen, die in Liebesdingen ihren eigenen Kopf durchsetzen wollen, leben gefährlich. Bei Mary Tudor, der jüngsten Schwester des englischen Königs Heinrich VIII., ging es gerade noch mal gut. Das ist umso bemerkenswerter, als ihr Bruder oft nicht sonderlich zimperlich umging mit Damen.

Je vous ai laissé un peu sur votre faim ou plutôt sur votre soif avec le précédent épisode. Je vous raconte l'histoire du Bloody Mary, ce cocktail entouré de mythes : de sa création à son appellation et même sur ses bienfaits. Désolée, j'avais pas de rime en -ion sur le dernier qualificatif. Le contexte : 1920, 21 - Harry's Bar dans le 2e arrondissement de Paris - Un barman, Fernand Petiot mélange du jus de tomate et de la vodka. C'est bon pour vous ? On a la boisson. Et pour le nom alors ? Un collègue lui dit : « Si on appelait ce cocktail Bloody Mary ? Ton breuvage me fait penser à un club de Chicago, le Bucket of Blood et j'ai une nana qui s'appelle Mary et à Fernand de rétorquer : « Ouais, c'est pas mal ». Mais l'inventeur participe aussi à la légende autour de ce cocktail en modifiant quelque peu son histoire quand il parle aux journalistes histoire de se faire un peu mousser. Mary est en fait sa petite-copine de l'époque, elle travaille bien dans ce club de Chicago. Bloody Mary n'a jamais vu l'élaboration de ce cocktail en fait parce que le personnage aussi est mythique. Ce serait Mary Tudor, reine d'Angleterre du XVIe siècle. "Mary la sanguinaire" aime bien le catholicisme mais n'aime pas trop les protestants et commandite des massacres de masse au sein de son royaume contre les anglicans.  Au Royaume-Uni, ça fait partie du folklore. Ne prononcez pas Bloody Mary trois fois de suite là-bas sinon elle risque d'apparaitre dans un miroir. Plutôt boire trois Bloody Mary que d'avoir la frayeur de sa vie à cause d'un fantôme. Fernand le barman va améliorer sa recette lorsqu'il part travailler à l'hôtel Saint Regis de New York dans les années 30. Les locaux trouvent sa boisson un peu fade. Soit ! Il ajoute du sel, du poivre, du citron, du piment de Cayenne et de la sauce Worcestershire. Il change aussi le dosage : 1/3 de vodka pour 2/3 de jus de tomate. La première trace de la recette de Bloody Mary telle qu'on la connaît aujourd'hui remonte à 1939. Largement apprécié aux USA, le cocktail a sa propre journée là-bas ! Le Bloody Mary's day est officieusement célébré le 1er janvier. On croit qu'il permet de lutter contre les immenses gueule de bois. Ce n'est pas la vodka qui aide, vous imaginez bien mais la tomate, riche en vitamines C et antioxydant. Au-delà du Bloody Mary, le Harry's bar serait le berceau de plusieurs autres cocktails, comme le Blue Lagoon ou encore le French 75. Loin d'être dirty ce Harry's bar !

Diversity is not just an old wooden ship, but an ideal. We serve that ideal this week with by welcoming the fairer sex to our court. These two complicated characters give us a lot to think about. While neither met a particularly glorious end, they changed the world. 

The Tudors may be one of Western history's most well-known families. Their real-life traumas, dramas, and intrigues still inspire plot lines in popular media today. One of the often overlooked members of this family is Mary Tudor, the youngest daughter of Henry VII. Although her story has been the inspiration for many a romance novel (she famously married for love rather than power) these fanciful tales fail to capture the character of the real woman. Mary Tudor was more than a swooning damsel. She was self-assured, determined, and fiercely loyal to those she loved. She may have also been the only person in England who would dare to defy the fearsome Henry VIII, her dearest big brother.

In this episode, I am joined by art historians Mell Taylor and Dr. Emma Cahill to discuss symbolism in portraiture. We cover a vast range of topics and portraits, including the one that used to be called Katherine of Aragon, which is now proposed to be Mary Tudor (sister of Henry VIII) - find out why it cannot be Mary!

She was the daughter of a king, the sister of a king and the wife of a king. Princess Mary Tudor, Queen of France and later Duchess of Suffolk was the younger, famously stunning, sister of King Henry VIII. Her scandalous marriage to the king's best friend almost spelt disaster, but she overcame it and twenty years after her death, her granddaughter became the shortest reigning sovereign in English history. In this weeks episode I explore the life of this elusive Tudor princess!

Bloody Mary, otherwise known as Mary Tudor, was a brutal queen who was the first ruling Queen of England, but who is she, and how did she earn her awful nickname? Follow our TikTok Follow our Instagram

Most of those executed for their beliefs under Philip and Mary 1555-58 came from places with a long history of religious dissidence. It matches European evidence that many – perhaps most – of those burned at the stake were not Protestants, but ‘anabaptists' or people with similar beliefs – usually poor - whom both Protestants and Catholics were persecuting. The government of Edward VI had already begun before Mary came to the throne. But why so many in England? We discover literature appearing from the late 1540s that openly encouraged dissenters to die for their beliefs. And we explore the possibility that so many died because the English uniquely insisted on public hearings, in which there was no room for quiet, face-saving compromises.

Until six weeks before the child was due, everybody at court and indeed in Europe, believed Mary was pregnant. She suffered a rare disorder - pseudocyesis - maybe triggered by a tumour on her pituitary gland that would eventually kill her. The imminent birth of a Catholic heir to the Anglo-Spanish dynasty meant that the select council governing the kingdom really now had no alternative but to grasp the nettle of suppressing any potential causes of unrest – including any remaining shreds of die-hard Protestantism - and promptly. We also discover, that the majority of those who were burned were not Protestants at all, but followers of much older, rural religions.

Who ran the persecution of heretics in England 1555-58? England was a joint monarchy but historians traditionally accused bigoted Mary of running the clamp down herself - with her cousin, Reginald Pole the Archbishop of Canterbury. There's no evidence it's true and Pole was useless at running anything. But didn't Mary intervene to make sure Thomas Cranmer was burned – Henry VIII's archbishop? No, again. Cranmer was tried by the pope and Mary had no power to spare him. As for Mary's Privy Council, they turn out to have been more interested in pirates than heretics. Much more important was Bartolomé Carranza, a Spanish friar, King Philip's trusted eyes and ears at the English Court, but he was later accused of heresy by the pope for being too lenient. Finally the campaign in England was distinctively English, not Spanish. That points the finger for responsibility at Philip's own select council of veteran English courtiers. But almost all of them had for years been Protestants. What was going on?

England in the mid-1550s was being governed by a joint monarchy: Philip and Mary and a select council of extremely able English politicians. Almost all of them had experience in government stretching back through the violently protestant regime of Edward VI. To all appearances they had for years been living as active protestants. And yet here they were in a government that was conducting a campaign against religious heresy that we have always understood to be a Catholic campaign to stamp out Protestantism.

SynopsisOn today's date in 1573, Queen Elizabeth the First celebrated her 40th birthday.According to SOME musicologists, the music-loving monarch received as a birthday gift a Latin motet for 40 voices by Thomas Tallis titled Spem in alium, which translates as “Hope in All Things.” Elisabeth was certainly fond of Tallis, awarding him special gifts and privileges —despite his remaining a steadfast Roman Catholic throughout her reign, when being a Catholic in Protestant England was very risky business, indeed!In fact, other musicologists contend that this famous motet was ACTUALLY written for the coronation of Elizabeth's predecessor, the CATHOLIC queen Mary Tudor. Still others say: “No, no—the motet was commissioned by a patriotic British nobleman, who challenged Tallis to write a work as good as—or better—than a contemporary Italian composer's 40-voice motet.”The truth is we just don't know for sure why Tallis composed this intricate and glorious music. We do know that in a dangerous time for ANYONE with strong religious convictions, Tallis lived to the ripe old age of 80. His epitaph reads: “As he did live, so he did die—in mild and quiet sort (O happy Man!)”Music Played in Today's ProgramThomas Tallis (c.1505 - 1585) Spem in alium Huelgas Ensemble; Paul Van Nevel, cond.

Bloody Queen Mary? 313 people died for their beliefs 1555-58. We owe it to the victims to get the story right. In 2020 historian Alexander Samson said about the reign of Mary Tudor ‘it feels as if we are at the start.' So dismiss everything you thought you knew and be prepared to be amazed. Ever since Mary died childless, at the age of just 42 in 1558, the history of her reign was written almost exclusively by English Protestant historians, mainly using Foxe's ‘Book of Martyrs' written by an Elizabethan Protestant. We look at why Foxe exclusively blames Mary and why he's wrong.

Jane Seymour is one of the least well-known of Henry VIII's wives. And yet she had a front row seat to some of the most dramatic events of Henry's reign: the setting aside of Katherine of Aragon, the relentless pursuit of Anne Boleyn, Katherine's death and then Anne's fall and stunning execution. When Jane steps into Anne's shoes, what does she think of her husband and her own future as a "third" Queen of 1536.Show Notes:Carol Ann Lloydwww.carolannlloyd.com@shakeuphistorypatreon.com/carolannlloydThe Tudors by NumbersAdrienne Dilliardwww.adrienne-dillard.com@ajdillard81Keeper of the Queen's JewelsThe Raven's WidowCor RottoCreative Director: Lindsey LindstromMusic: History by Andy_Grey via Audio Jungle, Music Broadcast LicenseLet's shake up history together!@shakeuphistory

Mary Tudor, also known as Queen Mary I (or, less charitably, “Bloody Mary”) was Queen of England from 1553 to 1558. She was England's first Queen Regnant whose reign was not disputed. The daughter of Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon, she was raised Catholic, and aimed to keep England that way. This is what you need to know about this interesting and remarkable woman and Queen of England. Podcast Notes: https://ancestralfindings.com/mary-i-the-queens-of-england    

La Grande-Bretagne a connu plusieurs reines qui ont profondément marqué le pays, de Mary Tudor à Élisabeth II. Quel impact ont-elles eu sur leurs sujets, et plus particulièrement sur leurs sujettes? Etienne Duval reçoit Véronique Molinari, une professeure de civilisation britannique qui a beaucoup écrit sur la place des femmes en Grande-Bretagne. Photo: la reine Victoria (1819-1901). Avec son mari le prince Albert de Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha (1819-1861), Victoria a eu 9 enfants, 43 petits-enfants, 110 arrière-petits-enfants (dont Elizabeth II), 237 arrière-arrière-petits-enfants, 479 arrière-arrière-arrière-petits-enfants, etc. Par de nombreux mariages et alliances, certains de ses descendants sont aujourd'hui les monarques de la Norvège, de la Suède, du Danemark et de l'Espagne. Ces mêmes descendants ont également fourni d'anciens monarques à l'Allemagne, à la Grèce, à la Russie ainsi qu'à la Yougoslavie. Le surnom de "grand-mère de l'Europe", donné à la reine Victoria, vient de cette descendance cosmopolite. (© Alexander Bassano/wikipedia)

Welcome to January 1st, 2023 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate a gruesome drink and a fresh start.  If you're looking for a “hair of the dog” that bit you during last night's reveling, consider the Bloody Mary. It's become a brunch staple, but how did this drink get such a gruesome name? Many people assume it's because of Mary Tudor, Henry VIII's first daughter. But the widely accepted story is that a Paris bartender in the 1920s created a cocktail of tomato juice and vodka. One of the patrons loved the drink and suggested the name "Bloody Mary” because it reminded him of a Chicago bar called Bucket of Blood Club, and a girl named Mary who worked there. On National Bloody Mary Day celebrate with this classic drink that helps repair the most ghoulish hangover. New Year's Day is one of the most recognized holidays around the world. Though it has been celebrated for thousands of years, the exact beginning of a new year has gone through many changes. In ancient Rome, the calendar started with Martius or March and only had ten months. January and February were added later and the twelve month Julian calendar was eventually adopted. In ancient Babylon, new year's resolutions were about paying back debts and returning borrowed stuff. If that is on your list it's a great start. As the new year begins, may we follow the advice of Ralph Waldo Emerson who said, “Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.” We hope you will join us as we find new reasons to celebrate together.  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day!  Learn more about your ad choices.

Mary I of England aka Mary Tudor aka Bloody Mary was Queen of England and Ireland from July 1553 and Queen of Spain from January 1556 until her death in 1558. During her five-year reign, Mary had over 280 religious nonconformists, aka Protestants and radical Christians, burned at the stake in the Marian persecutions. She had a tumultuous upbringing that at one point cast her as illegitimate on top many health issues. She was constantly fighting for what she thought belonged to her. This includes taking over England after her father, Henry VIII, and half-brother, Edward, both died while on the throne.  IG: @homance_chronicles Email: homancepodcast@gmail.com Contact us: linktr.ee/homance

In today's "The Tudors in their own words", historian Claire Ridgway shares an excerpt from a letter written by Mary Tudor, Queen of France, to her brother, Henry VIII, regarding a promise he made her.

Lady Jane Grey was the Queen of England for nine days in 1553. She was the great granddaughter of King Henry VII and her first cousin, Edward VI nominated her for accession to the throne. He was an ardent Protestant and knew that Lady Jane would carry that through her reign. This subverted the claim of his half sister, Mary Tudor who was Catholic but considered by many the rightful heir to the throne. Only nine days after Lady Jane became Queen of England, the Catholics dethroned her for Mary Tudor. Soon after she was executed on the Tower Green in the same spot where Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard died. She was later considered a Protestant martyr by many. We can see this in the masterpiece The Execution of Lady Jane Grey. Read LadyKflo's collected works.

Having watched the second Elizabethan era draw to a close in recent weeks, it is fitting that in this episode we are going back to the beginning of the first Elizabethan era – the moment when Mary Tudor died leaving the throne to her younger half-sister. These two queens, the first women to rule England in their own right, were divided by their faith. The greatest challenge facing Elizabeth on her accession was to unite a country which was polarised by religion, having passed from hard-line Protestantism under Edward VI back to Catholicism with Mary. Our learned guide on this journey is Dr Lucy Wooding whose masterful new book, Tudor England, gives a rich, detailed vision of the period. Wooding's book is not simply limited to the big political moments but takes the reader right into the lives of ordinary people as well. Dr Lucy Wooding is Langford Fellow and Tutor in History at Lincoln College, Oxford. She is an expert on Reformation England, its politics, religion and culture, and the author of Henry VIII. Tudor England by Lucy Wooding is out now. Show notes Scene One: 17 November 1558, London. In the early morning, Mary I lies dying at St James's Palace. By evening, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Cardinal Reginald Pole, has also died – a momentous day for Catholicism in England. Scene Two: November 1558, a few days earlier. Princess Elizabeth is at a dinner party at Brocket Hall, with the Count of Feria who has been sent by Philip II (Mary's husband) to sound out the heir to the throne. He concludes that she is, ‘'She is a very vain and clever woman', who is, ‘determined to be governed by no one'. Scene Three: Late 1557, The Works of Sir Thomas More, sometime Lord Chauncellor, wrytten by him in the Englysh tonge are published by the printer William Rastell, who was also More's nephew. Memento: The reliquary known as the ‘Tablet de Bourbon', made by one of the great Parisian goldsmiths and acquired as part of a ransom during the Hundred Years War. Worn by Mary I in the portrait by Hans Eworth.

The Monster Study (aka Tudor Study) is an unethical psychology experiment that was conducted in 1939 on 22 orphans in Davenport, Iowa.  The goal was to a test the theory that by deeply worrying about starting to stutter, one may develop the speech disorder. Mary Tudor, a graduate student, attempted to induce stuttering - to create the behavior - in fluent speakers with the assistance of her advisor Wendell Johnson.The study was dubbed "The Monster Study" for the cruelty and misconduct of it. Learn more about the creators, the experiment and what can be deduced from its results.
