 * __Mary takes over as queen__**


 * From her childhood, she has been used to manage things on her own. Now, Mary is taking charge over the British Empire all alone. She has proved herself as a strong, independent and determined woman. A lot of people believe in that Britain is in good hands.**

Mary, the daughter of King Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon is now expected to succeed the crown after the death of King Edward VI. After the annulment of her parents, she was deemed illegitimate and her place in the line of succession transferred to her half-sister, Elizabeth I. King Edward did not wanted her to be queen, and therefore she had been restored as second line to the throne.

As a young girl, Mary was used to manage on her own. She had poor health, but was a bright child and had a great education. She studied Greek, Latin, science and music. A lot of people are satisfied about Mary taking over the throne after Edward. She has grown up to be a strong and independent woman, and there are a lot of people in Britain that needs a queen who can make good decisions and make the country stronger.

Mary is very faithful to her Roman Catholicism, but she did not share the same religon as Edward, since he was a protestant. He feared that she would restore Catholic faith and undo his reforms if she would be a queen. Then, he was devised instead that Jane Grey, granddaughter of Henry VIII’s younger sister Mary Tudor, should succeed after Edward. Mary was not prepared to stand by and let Jon Dudley( who devised Edward) to usurp the crown she believed was rightfully hers.

But Mary had a lot of supporters, and the people had public sympathy for Mary. After many years of struggle, she is now finally proclaimed Queen of England. It is a big triumph for her. We are excited and very hopeful for the future queen of England.
