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, rechristening her, “Mary, the Bloody.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tudors famously used fine art to define their reign. Using expressive line work and lush watercolour, 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 Gehrmann pulls from real quotes from historical documents and letters along with dramatizations of known historic events.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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076290461932,"sku":"9798881600266","price":58.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/22413763488910.jpg?v=1765194551"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/kristina-gehrmann.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
