During Mary 1's (aka Mary Tudor) rule, England returned to Catholicism from Protestantism. She executed hundreds of Protestants. That's why she has the title "Bloody Mary."

'Bloody Mary' was the Mary of the last four years of her life. A staunch Catholic Queen in a religiously divided country she had 283 heretics burned at the stake in a misguided effort to bring England back to the religion that had been her only constant comfort in a life filled with uncertainties.

Just as much as every other monarch of those times. They were bloody times. Each Faith were up to their elbows in gore.
