Question

is bloody mary real?

Answer 1

Hey bethy: if you're a freakin' history major, you need to think about changing majors--'cause you just flunked the question.



"Bloody Mary" was indeed the daughter of Henry VIII of England--and his first wife, Katherine of Aragon. Who was Spanish--and a CATHOLIC. Mary got pissed because her younger brother Edward VI became king after her father died; he was a Protestant, whose advisors persecuted the Catholics. When Mary became queen after Edward died, she reversed the process--and persecuted the Protestants, because (all together now) SHE WAS A CATHOLIC.



Oh yeah--and I hope you never write an essay that contains such obviously untrue phrases as "killed all the Catholics in England"....They may have gone underground, but nobody ever came close to killing them all.



Stick to the drink, bethy.

Answer 2

Well, when I was younger my friends and I would dare each other to look into a mirror while in a dark room and say Bloody Mary 3 times and she was supposed to appear - never did! :) But that's not the Bloody Mary you're talking about I guess.



Bloody Mary is the infamous title of Mary 1 of England (half-sister to Elizabeth I and mother of James I of England and Ireland/VI of Scotland). She was the daughter of Henry VII whom was deemed illegitimate when he had his marriage to Catherine of Aragon annulled. When he died, Mary became queen and tried to unite the country as Catholic again, having around 300 people executed.

Answer 3

Okay, to reiterate, Bloody Mary was the nickname given to Mary Tudor, Queen of England, Daughter of HenryVIII and Katharine of Aragon. She married Phillip II of Spain, and left no heirs. She was termed bloody mary as her government persecuted protestants. She was, however, a good woman, swayed by an unhappy youth spent fighting for affection, and a fierce faith in the catholic faith, imbedded in her by her noble mother, whose parents, the Katholic Kings (Ferdinand of Spain and Isabella of Castille) routed the last Muslims from Spain.

Answer 4

The drink or the historical figure? In both cases, yes. The drink is a wonderful concoction with a celery stick. The historical figure is Queen Mary, daughter of Henry VIII. She was know as this because she killed all the Catholics in England.

Answer 5

Yes to both, and the drink ROCKS, I like mine also with celery salt, an olive, and tobasco sauce.
