    		That would be Queen "Bloody" Mary, whose tendency to toast non-Catholics earned her that nickname.

    		It was Mary I, eldest daughter of Henry VIII, who during the last three years of her reign is alleged to have caused 300 people to be burned at the stake.

    		Yes, wife of Phillip II, Queen 1553-8. Her nickname arose from the bloody executions of Protestants in her reign. Her name was Mary Tudor.
