Mary I (1516–1558) — the daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, declared illegitimate at seventeen when her father annulled her mother’s marriage and broke with Rome. She took the throne in 1553, England’s first crowned queen regnant, and set out to undo the Reformation entirely. Her marriage to Philip of Spain was deeply unpopular, and her attempt to restore Catholicism sent nearly three hundred Protestants to the stake — the burnings that earned her the name. She died in 1558 after a childless reign of five years, believing herself pregnant when she was in fact dying, and the crown passed to the half-sister she had once imprisoned. #bloodymary #magnificai

Catherine of Aragon (1485–1536) — the first wife of Henry VIII and the longest-serving, married to him for twenty-four years. A Spanish princess, daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella, she first came to England as bride to Henry’s elder brother Arthur, who died months later. She proved a formidable queen: she governed as regent while Henry campaigned in France, and it was under her authority that the English defeated the Scots at Flodden in 1513. But six pregnancies produced only one surviving child, Mary, and Henry wanted a son. Catherine refused to accept an annulment or retire quietly to a convent, insisting to the end that she was his lawful wife — a refusal that split England from Rome. She died in 1536 at Kimbolton, banished from court and forbidden to see her daughter. #catherineofaragon #tudors #magnificai
