The stereotype of Mary for centuries has been that of an unskilled political novice, hesitant and timid until religious mania and her devotion to a heartless, Spanish husband turned her almost overnight into a bloody tyrant. In recent years, that myth has been examined and the negative accounts of her reign shown to be influenced by centuries of propaganda. Unfortunately, Bloody Mary is now becoming Tragic Mary. The trauma of her youth and the suffering she and her mother experienced at her father’s hands are seen as a reason to pity a queen many perceive as a failure. But there is more to the story of Mary than tragedy – and more to her than the devoted daughter of an abandoned mother because Mary, although she is usually associated with her mother Katharine of Aragon, was very much her father’s daughter. He too, was a risk-taker.

Melita Thomas, The King's Pearl

When we talk about the 'Bloody Mary' label, Protestant propaganda is very relevant, but also let's not forget about Lady Jane Grey. Paul Delaroche's depiction of her execution is as powerful and moving as anything John Foxe wrote.

It's not exactly a pro-Mary picture, is it?
