    so, in this topic bloody mary was less bloody than the rest of her family? What an irony

      Interestingly she's actually the least bloody in general. Elizabethan propaganda is what pushed the idea that she was the worst

      I mean, she(Mary I) DID burn pregnant women, so that "propaganda" has atleast SOME merit

      ​@redadmiralofvalyria867 the story of the 1 pregnant woman is exaggerated. Pregnant women were not burnt or even tried until after rhe woman gave birth. The only way this happened was if the woman herself did not even know she was pregnant (or it's invented).
      Plus it's still not as horrific as the tens of thousands of deaths henry viii was responsible for. Or Elizabeth I's order to kill innocent Irish civilians during the Desmond rebellions in the 1580s.

    I wonder did Henry knew that adultery was sin👀bet he wasn’t ready to have that conversation

      That's why he was so desperate to have his inconvenient marriages "annulled" - so he could say that technically they hadn't taken place, and therefore, technically, he wasn't committing adultery when he went off with someone else. Whatta sweetheart ....
