What is mary I?Show answer
Mary restored Catholicism and papal authority (repealing the Edwardian and some Henrician changes), and married Philip of Spain (1554), a deeply unpopular foreign match that provoked Wyatt's Rebellion (1554), a rising from Kent that reached London before failing. Her reign is remembered for the Marian persecution, the burning of around 280 Protestants including Cranmer, Latimer and Ridley, which earned her the name "Bloody Mary". She lost Calais (1558), England's last continental possession, and died later that year, succeeded by Elizabeth I.
