As the firstborn daughter of King Henry,

Bloody Mary Tudor became the queen.

Queen Mary was never a Fitzhenry.

No one in the royal court was too keen.

Wrathful trouble came when hundreds were burned.

It was the right for the dead to believe.

Loyalty for the queen was never earned.

The last innocent had no time to grieve.

Fear loomed over the kingdom like a shadow.

Over eight hundred were obliged to flee.

The fading hope of the royal was slow..

Her sister, Elizabeth was the key.

Five suffering years finally ended.

The order of the court was amended.
