Bloody Mary's Martyrs: The Story of England's Terror

This is the chronicle of a monarch’s religious intolerance, a nation’s fear, and the unimaginable courage of the Protestants who died for their faith—more than three hundred victims in less than three years. Award-winning historical biographer Jasper Ridley explores the dark years of Mary Tudor's reign using an absorbing narrative and meticulously researched history to relate a tragic, brutal, and often inspiring tale. Eight pages of black-and-white photographs are included. “Ridley tells the story of England’s Terror with verve.”—Sunday Times (London)
