Mary was a devout Catholic, and her mother had been rejected by Henry when he established the Anglican church. Henry's son made the English Church protestant, but she wanted to make England Catholic again, and so carried out bloody purges on Protestants. In 5 years, around 300 Protestants were victims and died, and many fled to Europe. After 5 years she was succeeded by her sister, Elizabeth.
