Mary Tudor is often written off as a hopeless, twisted queen who tried desperately to pull England back to the Catholic Church that was so dear to her mother, and sent many to burn at the stake in the process. In this radical re-evaluation of the first 'real' English queen regnant, Judith M. Richards challenges her reputation as 'Bloody Mary' of popular historical infamy, contending that she was closer to the more innovative, humanist side of the Catholic Church. Richards argues persuasively that Mary, neither boring nor basically bloody, was a much more hard-working, 'hands on', and decisive queen than is commonly recognized.Had she not died in her early forties and failed to establish a Catholic succession, the course of history could have been very different, England might have remained Catholic and Mary herself may even have been treated more kindly by history. This illustrated and accessible biography is essential reading for all those with an interest in one of England's most misrepresented monarchs. Bookseller Inventory # AAC9780415327213

This biography is very readabe and wi prove extremey usefu.’ – History Review ‘It does an abe job of defending Mary against the charge of being ahumouress, hysterica and catastrophic ruer Dr Richards is especiay good in producing a we-rounded portrait of the Queen’s own nature and of her overa ife Another of the book’s strengths is its sensitivity to the difference between the nature of things and perceptions of them it is a good exampe of the art of biography, making a genuine contribution to our understanding of the woman and the Queen, and aways an easy and entertaining read.’ – BBC History Magazine ‘Richards confronts a of the most difficut probems associated with Mary’s ife and rue, incuding her heath, the ega and poitica ambiguities inherent in the marriage she made with Phiip of Spain, her phantom pregnancies, and her troubes with the papacy. . . Eegant and astute, Mary Tudor is a triumph.’ – Susan Wabuda, Fordham University, Journa of British Studies , voume 49, number 2 Judith M.
