Mary Tudor, nicknamed "Bloody Mary", is one of the most feared queens in English history. A fervent Catholic, she undertook a violent repression against Protestants, ordering the persecution of hundreds of people, burned alive at the stake. Her bloody reign earned her a cruel and merciless reputation, marking the minds of her time. This brutality has fueled the urban legend that surrounds her name, transformed into a terrifying specter invoked in mirrors. This frightening myth, still alive today, testifies to the sinister mark she has left on popular culture.
