It is the tragedy of Queen Mary that today, 450 years after her
death, she remains the most hated, least understood monarch in
English history--remembered best for burning hundreds of Protestant
heretics at the stake. Linda Porter's pioneering new biography cuts
through the myths to reveal the truth about the first queen to rule
England in her own right. Daughter of Henry VIII and Katherine of
Aragon, Mary Tudor was a cultured Renaissance princess who was
brought to the throne by an audacious coup. She made a grand
marriage to Philip of Spain, but her attempts to revitalize England
at home and abroad were cut short by her early death at the age of
forty-two. The first popular biography of Mary in thirty years,
"The Myth of "Bloody Mary"" offers a fascinating, controversial
look at this much-maligned queen.
