CATHERINE DE’ MEDICI: THE CRAFTING OF AN EVIL LEGEND Lindsey Donohue Western Civilization February 18, 2020 1 When describing the legend of the evil Italian queen, Catherine de’ Medici, and why Medici has been historically misrepresented, being credited with such malediction and wickedness, N.M Sutherland states that she has been viewed as a, “. .monster of selfish ambition, who sacrificed her children, her adopted country, her principles - if she ever had any - , and all who stood in her way to the satisfaction of her all-consuming desire for power.”1 The legend of the wicked Italian queen held widespread attraction among many, especially after Medici’s death in 1589. The famous legend paints Medici inaccurately by disregarding her achievements as queen regent as well as her constant struggle to administer peace during a time of intense political turmoil and religious feuding, and it assumes that Medici was a victim of circumstance.

Mary I, Queen of England: How ‘Bloody’ Was She?

Mary I, Queen of England: How ‘Bloody’ Was She? By Johanna Strong Johanna is a PhD student at the University of Winchester One significant formal event in Winchester Cathedral has consequences which are felt to this day: the July 1554 wedding of Mary I – England’s first crowned queen regnant, that is: queen in her own right – and Philip II of Spain. Their marriage has significantly influenced how Mary is remembered in the English historical narrative and her legacy is very much tied to Philip’s unpopularity in England and Spain’s expansionist hopes in the early modern world. It is their wedding, their marriage, and the legacy of Mary’s reign which is the focus of this article. Mary’s Life and Reign in Contemporary Eyes Mary was born on 18 February 1516 to Catherine of Aragon and Henry VIII and was the only one of Catherine of Aragon’s children to live past childhood. As a result of the breakdown of her parents’ marriage, Mary suffered greatly watching her mother exiled from court and left to die alone at Kimbolton in 1536. Just under 20 years later, Mary’s situation changed drastically when she was proclaimed queen in July 1553 after Lady Jane Grey’s brief tenure on the throne. On 25 July 1554, Mary married Philip II of Spain at Winchester Cathedral in an elaborate ceremony with a banquet following at Wolvesey Castle. Most of the time when heirs to the throne become king or queen, their suffering and unhappiness ends. Unfortunately for Mary, this was not the case.
Kirk O' Field What Happened in 1567?

Education Service Kirk o' Field What happened in 1567? This resource was produced using documents from the collections of The National Archives. It can be freely modified and reproduced for use in the classroom only. Kirk o’ Field : What happened in 1567? 2 Introduction Early in the morning of 10 February 1567, Kirk o’ Field house in Edinburgh was destroyed by an explosion. The partially clothed bodies of Lord Darnley, the second husband of Mary, Queen of Scots, and his servant were found in a nearby orchard, apparently strangled but unharmed by the explosion. Suspicion immediately fell upon Mary and James Hepburn, Earl of Bothwell, one of her closest and most trusted noblemen. Although Bothwell was considered to be the lead conspirator, he was found not guilty at his trial in April, 1567. Mary married Bothwell the following month, just three months after Darnley's murder. Darnley's death remains an unsolved historical mystery. Work through the available evidence and see if you can work out what happened. Tasks Look at close up 1 1.

Revising Mary Queen of Scots: from Protestant Persecution to Patriarchal Struggle Abstract Since Mary Queen of Scots’ execution in 1587, she has become a symbol of Scottish identity, failed female leadership, and Catholic martyrdom. Throughout the twentieth century, Mary was regularly depicted on screen (Ford, 1936; Froelich, 1940; Jarrott, 1971) as a thrice-wed Catholic queen, unable to rule her country due to her feminine nature and Catholic roots. However, with the rise of third wave feminism and postfeminism in media, coupled with the increased influence of emalef directors and writers, Mary’s characterization has shifted from portraying female/emotional weakness and religious sacrifice ot female/collaborative strength in hardship and a struggle against patriarchal prejudice.
