Tudor Queens - Mary I Traditional Cache

This is a short series of four on the public bridleway running from St Giles Church, Bramhope to Creskeld Lane.   Please take care crossing Otley Road.

Continue from Lady Jane Grey and look for the public bridleway sign on the left.  

Please replace so the box is concealed and watch out for Muggles!

Tudor Queens - Mary I

She was born in February 1516 at Greenwich, the daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon.  Her early life was miserable - rejected by her father and separated from her mother.  She was a studious girl and a devout Catholic.  She married Philip of Spain, a marriage not popular with the people.   She came to the throne in July 1553 and died in November 1558 and during that time she became known as "Bloody Mary" because of the number of people she ordered to be burned to death.
