No excuses can be made for this deranged woman who had innocent people burned at the stake.
No, but if she were a Protestant burning Catholics at the stake, I doubt you would made this poll.
Now that has got to rank as one of the silliest statements I have ever read on this forum, and there have been countless stupid statements made on this forum.
Nobody, Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, whatever, has any right to burn anybody else at the stake because of their religious beliefs.
That behavior is inhuman, revolting and abhorrent.
The depraved Mary Tudor well deserves her place as one of the most hated and reviled monarchs in the entire history of England, and England has a long history.
The problem is that at the time, religion and state were intertwined to such an extent that religion was sufficient to make people act as enemies of the state. It wasn't purely the religious views of people that led to so much tyranny on both sides of the Reformation, but also the political acts such views led people to commit.
