Katy, interesting observation about Mary and Elizabeth of England. When I was learning history in high school, we never heard about the people who were put to death under Elizabeth I merely for the "crime" of being Catholic.
I thought so. I've taken a keen interest in the Tudor period lately, and I've read a lot about it. I don't remember hearing about the Catholics Elizabeth put to death. All I heard was she was a great queen, and Mary was just the queen who burned 300 people. Anyone who thinks that Mary was a cold-hearted killer needs to read about her life, especially after Henry VIII divirced her mother, Katherine.


There's thinking about doing something, and there's just doing it.
