Queen Mary I of England Lesson

In this lesson, students will examine the tumultuous life and reign of a monarch who sought to restore Catholicism in Protestant England, earning her the nickname 'Bloody Mary'. They will explore key events such as her early life struggles, her ascension to the throne, her controversial marriage to Philip II of Spain, the Marian Persecutions, and the political and religious landscape of 16th-century England. Students will have the opportunity to achieve this through choosing their own method of learning, from reading and research options, as well as the chance to engage in extension activities. This lesson includes a self-marking quiz for students to demonstrate their learning.
