(r. 1553-1558)
Mary Tudor or Queen Mary I, held her reign for a short moment from 1553 to 1558. She was the daughter of King Henry VIII, and Queen Catherine Of Aragon. Mary was also the first queen of royal succession to the English Throne.
Mary went through difficult times in her life, from becoming the Kings princess, to a lady-in-waiting, she felt that all the odds were against her. Luckily her brother King Edward VI decided to bring back to the Royal Court with another opportunity to gain her initial birth right to the thone. Having Edward die at a young age, Mary became Queen in 1553. Due to her decline in health, and troubled marriage from a false pregnancy producing an heir, Mary died at the age of 42, making her half sister, Elizabeth reign Queen.
