My dad, Henry VIII, famously stuck two fingers up to the Catholic Church and founded the Church of England so he could divorce my mum Catherine of Aragon, but after my half-brother Edward died, the rules of succession declared me the first English monarch in history to possess a vagina and pair of breasts (my dad's moobs don't count).
Being the ruler with fallopian tubes didn't work out so well for me though as i was a Catholic and with a Catholic back on the throne, the Protestants organised a coup against me which i quashed by burning many of them at the stake, earning me the nickname 'Bloody Mary' although there wasn't much blood but there was a stench of BBQ-ing human hanging around the courtyard for weeks afterwards.
I spent five years on the throne and in that time i burned 300 Protestants who were concerned that i would return England to Catholicism, which i did of course, but remained confusingly the Supreme Head of the English Church.
I married Philip who was a cold-hearted man, on my death from Ovarian Cysts he wrote 'I felt a reasonable regret for her death', but not enough reasonable regret to stop him trying it on with my half-sister Elizabeth who told him to go do one, clever girl.
There's no denying that an awful lot of Protestants were killed during my reign, but i was really no worse than my successor, Queen Elizabeth, who executed just as many Catholics as i had Protestants but everybody was okay with that.
Probably the legacy of my life would be a cocktail containing vodka, tomato juice and Worcestershire sauce but what with the lack of blood at my executions, Crispy Fried Mary would be more appropriate.
