An elegant, intimate graphic novel retelling of Mary the Bloody Tudor's infamous life and evolution from loyal subject to royal tyrant. A Graphic Novels and Comics Round Table (GNCRT) Outstanding Comics Award Honor for Best YA Nonfiction The story of Mary Tudor -- oldest child and daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, sister to the famous Elizabeth I -- as never told before. A chronological telling of Mary's life as told by her spans her magnificent life, starting from her first memory at the age of two to becoming the first queen to inherit the throne of an England in disarray. Once rejected at birth, Mary was certain the cause of suffering was her subjects' rejection of the one true faith: Catholicism. Her zealous campaign to re-Catholicize England was unrelenting in its brutality, re-christening her, Mary, the Bloody.
The Tudors famously used fine art to define their reign. Using expressive line work and lush watercolor, German graphic novelist fittingly teases the painterly allure of royalty as she reveals the stark loneliness of the crown. Gehrmann pulls from real quotes from historical documents and letters along with dramatizations of known historic events. These details immerse us in Mary I's epic life from her volatile childhood to her tragic demise, rendering a stunning portrait of a bastard queen losing her grip on power.
