| Popis: | The article examines the conditions of the coming to power of the English Queen Mary Tudor and the peculiarities of her reign, including from the point of view of gender aspects. It is shown that, while condemning Mary I Tudor for her adherence to Catholicism, many historians do not mention the positive aspects of her short reign of England. Mary Tudor came to power at a difficult time for the Kingdom. Having no experience of governing the country, Maria brought the statesmen who had recently opposed her closer to her. Catholicism in England has once again become the state religion. The Queen carried out a number of successful financial reforms, largely laying the foundations for the rule of her successor, Elizabeth I. The policy of rapprochement with the Habsburgs, which culminated in the creation of the Anglo-Spanish Union, was also of no small importance for the country. Maria Tudor made many decisions under the influence of her Spanish spouse, which corresponded to the gender perceptions of that time. |
