Born from young King Henry's first marriage, his elder daughter, Princess Mary, is raised to be queen once it becomes clear that her mother, Katherine of Aragon, will bear no more surviving children. However, Henry's restless eye has a devastating influence on the young princess's future when he declares her a bastard and his marriage to her mother unlawful. In hopes of a male heir, he marries Anne Boleyn and banishes Katherine and Mary from the royal court. But when Anne too fails to produce a son, she is beheaded and Mary is allowed to return to court as the default heir. At age twenty, she hopes in vain for her own marriage and children, but who will marry her, bastard that she is? Yet Mary eventually triumphs and becomes queen, after first desposing a seventeen-year-old usurper, Lady Jane Grey, and ordering her beheading. Any hopes that Mary, as the first felmale queen regnant of England, will show religious toleration are dashed when she embarks on a ruthless campaign to force Catholicism on the English by burning hundreds of Protestants at the stake. But while her brutality will forever earn her the name Bloody Mary, at heart she is an insecure and vulnerable woman, her character forged by the unhappiness of her early years. In Alison Weir's masterful novel, the drama of Mary I's life and five-year reign--from her abusive childhood, marriage, and mysterious pregnancies to the cruelty that marks her legacy-comes to vivid life"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Mary, $c Queen, consort of Louis XII, King of France, $d 1496-1533 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Historical fiction. 775 08 $i Reproduction of (manifestation): $a Weir, Alison, 1951- $t Mary I $d London : Headline Review, 2024 $z 9781472278135 776 08 $i Online version: $a Weir, Alison, 1951- $t Passionate Tudor $b First U.S. edition. $d New York : Ballantine Books, 2024 $z 9780593355114 $w (DLC) 2024004963 941 $a 5 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710065533.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20240704010652.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702025654.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240604014814.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524010854.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FB659CF6199211EFAA2C9EE853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
