This looks at the reign of terror when Bloody Mary was on the throne and how this affected the life of her subjects.

One of many books on Bloody Mary, this version by Phil Carradice is short and through. He has captured the main details in a historically accurate and easily read book covering Mary Tudor's five year reign.
Full Disclosure: I was allowed to read a copy of this book for free as a member of NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased review. The opinions I have expressed are my own and I was not influenced to give a positive review.

The book is very well written and very easy to read.
I liked the fact that the author introduced us in the context in which Queen Mary came to the throne. I found many new information about her life, here views and purposes.
I would recommend this book to those who love history and want to find out more about Queen`s Mary life and the consequences of her fathers choices.

I enjoyed reading Bloody Mary, it was extremely informative and well written. It covered a time of history that I am interested in and it didn't dim that interest.

Sehr spannend und einfach zugängliches Stück englische Geschichte. Mit schönen zeitgenössischen Bildern untermalt. Viele Informationen, die man hierzulande nicht kennen dürfte.

Bloody Mary, Tudor Terror by Phil Carradice was received direct from the publisher. Most everyone has heard the urban legend of Bloody Mary, if not then go BING it, I will wait. The real Bloody Mary’s reign of terror ran between 1553 - 1558. If you follow my reviews, you will note I mostly review horror and the short reign of Bloody Mary Tudor, after all her nickname is such for a reason, was as horrific as many of the modern horror tomes that are published. Mary’s reign saw 284 people burned to death, about 57 a year, a little over one a week. This does not seem that bad for the size of the British Empire, however the diligent reader will have to read for themselves what was so “Bloody” about Mary Tudor. To not go into plot, Mary’s bloody reign was about Religion. The book contains many pictures though they are SFW pics. If you or someone you buy gifts for likes English history, is interested in Bloody Mary or possibly even studies religion, give this book a read.

It was interesting to read about Bloody Mary. The book was well written and informative. The research was solid. I would highly recommend this book to all history buffs out there. You will not be disappointed.

Really enjoyed this factual tale about the reign of Mary I. Bloody Mary is a fair description of the terror she wrought on Protestants in England and the way in which they were persecuted. The story also depicted the often proud way in which those that were burnt at the steak died for their beliefs. I know I wouldn’t have wanted to end my days that way!

I enjoyed reading Bloody Mary. It Was really well written and a very informative book on Mary Tudor. It was like being transported back in time and watching her life unfold before your eyes.
Definitely well worth a read.
Thankyou to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.
