Book Reviews of The First Queen of England: The Myth of "Bloody Mary"
Book Review: A pleasant surprise due to misconceptions of Mary
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read many, many novels about the Tudor period of English history and have enjoyed most but this particular book left an impression on me. The majority of the histories of "Bloody Mary" portray her in such a bad light and yes, bad things happened while she was in power but despite the atrocities committed in her name they are no worse than those committed under many a ruler's name and all the while she was overlooked as the FIRST female monarch of a country rife with religeous struggle and political intrigue. She proved that a woman could rule England and who knows what the outcome of her reign would have been had she not died after such a short period of time on the throne. Yes, the Elizabethian era was a great era for England but many forget that some of what Elizabeth made great started with Mary and this novel brings this information to light. A good read and a heartrendering ending.
