Mary I (18 February 1516 – 17 November 1558), also known as Mary Tudor, and as "Bloody Mary" by her Protestant opponents, was Queen of England and Ireland from July 1553 and Queen of Spain as the wife of King Philip II from January 1556 until her death in 1558.

Mary[b] was a first-century Jewish woman of Nazareth,[7] the wife of Joseph and the mother of Jesus.

The Eastern and Oriental Orthodox, Catholic, Anglican, Methodist, and Lutheran churches believe that Mary, as mother of Jesus, is the Mother of God. The Church of the East historically regarded her as Christotokos, a term still used in Assyrian Church of the East liturgy.[8] Other Protestant views on Mary vary, with some holding her to have lesser status.

In the Christian tradition, her birthday is celebrated on the 8th September and in both Christian and Islamic traditions, she is the child of St Joachim and St Anne (or Hannah) – although some bible scholars believe her father was actually named Heli. She is believed to be a direct descendant of Abraham, who fathered the Christian, Jewish and Islamic faiths, and her ancestors include such Jewish luminaries as the Kings David and Solomon. She is a central figure in many religious traditions. According to the book of Luke, Mary was visited by an angel as a young woman, while she was engaged to be married to Joseph, a Jewish carpenter and also a descendant of Abraham.

Mary asked how this was possible, as she was a virgin, and the angel replied that the Holy Spirit would come upon her. She replied, ‘I am
