Bloody Mary

You may think the term bloody Mary comes from a cocktail drink made with tomato juice and vodka but it actually comes from the First  English female Queen to have full regency of a male king,  Queen Mary Tudor or Queen Mary I.

The reason she got the nickname bloody Mary was because she had many of her protestant opponents put to death along with her cousin, Lady Jane Grey, the Queen Hand picked  by her brother before he died from tuberculosis and the Father of Jane Grey.  She tried very hard to return England into the Catholic realm until she passed away from suspected stomach cancer.
