Queen Mary, through her actions was
given the name Bloody Mary, the daughter
of King Henry VIII. She had a reputation quite commonly known among her
associates as having a contrary nature.
Morbid telling’s of how queen Mary, so devoted
to her Catholic faith and how she does everything to uphold her religion. As someone
living in her country, your faith was chosen
by her to be Catholic. Her hypothetical
gardens referred to the graveyards horrifically
increasingly growing in size filled with the bodies
of those who dared to practise Protestant faith.
With tortured souls to spill secrets she intended
to destroy the Protestant’s faith. Silverbells were instruments of torture believed to be
thumb screws and these crushed the thumbs
between two hard surfaces and cockleshells were believed to be instruments of torture
which were attached to the genitals.
Mary wished to control the Protestant’s and a far
from pretty method was beheading. Guillotine’s
were first known as maid’s, understandably
victim’s unwillingness to die meant nearly all were
chased in and around the scaffold, then finally
hacked at by the executioner. This called for a
mechanical invention, Mary then ordered the
building of guillotines row upon row.
