Why was Mary I of England called “Bloody Mary?

And why drinkers still enjoy bloody mary

All that time waiting to be Queen, just because it had to be a male on the throne, only to Reign 5 years. She didn't have a particularly happy childhood either, thanks to her dad!!

Hey she couldn't of been bad. 😁

Bernsoi, remember to nursery rhyme... Mary, Mary quite contrary.... the garden grew with dead Protestants.

What a legacy! she will always be known as "bloody" Mary
