When I discovered the inscription on Mary and Elizabeth's shared tomb said, I was confused. Shouldn't it read MARY and Elizabeth and not Elizabeth and Mary??? Since she was the older sister after all. Even if James I did like Elizabeth more and was a Prodestant, it was still disgraceful to show such disrespect to King Henry VIII's legitimate daughter and also the fact that Elizabeth's statue thing (for lack of a better word) was TWICE the size of Queen Mary's and Mary's statue was below Elizabeth's despite the fact that she was England's first Queen Regent and her older sister, and also insulting to Mary's wish to be buried next to her mother. I think that it was a terrible thing to do on the part of James I and not very kingly behaviour at all. I know it seems such a silly thing to be annoyed about but considering that Queen Mary was not shown very much love by anyone except her mother, Jane Seymour and a select few others, she deserves more respect than this considering all her hardships and the lack of respect she was shown throughout the vast majority of her life.

I have recently read a book about 16 evil men and women and I was shocked and apalled to discover that Queen Mary I was included in this list which included people like Hitler, Stalin and Emperor Nero! Considering that in 5 years Queen Mary burnt less than 300 people at the stake, compared to her infamous father King Henry VIII whose final death toll was estimated in the many thousands (though I admit it might have been exagerated). Please tell me i'm not the only one who thinks that this inclusion is cruel and unjust as is the title of 'Bloody' Yes Mary shouldn't have burnt those people just because of their faith, but if you do some research and examine the reasons behind this, then you can clearly see that Queen Mary did not deserve to be labelled as 'evil' she was simply a misguided woman who tried to keep her country together while her life was falling apart at the seams and who listened to misguided people.
