“Bloody” Queen Mary became a legendary woman for all of the wrong reasons.
Via:While Mary I of England was the first woman to successfully claim the throne of England and enjoyed support and sympathy during the early parts of her reign, she quickly slipped from public favor as she became known for her crimes against Protestants. From legendary royals to wealthy heiresses with dark secrets, to maniacal women trying to take advantage of innocent people, these historical ladies have proven that women have not always been “everything nice.” Other women on this list were evil because of the chilling crimes that they undoubtedly committed, and in some cases, got away with. Some of these women may have simply fallen on the wrong side of history, with legend remembering them (perhaps unfairly?) as tyrannical or bloodthirsty rulers. But many women, including mothers, wives, powerful women, rich women, even beautiful women, all have managed to do their fair share to prove that women can also be awful, managing to commit terrible crimes despite (or perhaps in spite of) the constraints that had been placed on them in the past. It’s no surprise that men are not the only people who have committed some terrible atrocities, although since they are often the ones who are central to the stories in history books, the contributions that men make - good or bad - are likewise those that also receive the most attention. Throughout history, some women have demonstrated a very different side to the “fairer sex” stereotype. Traditionally, women have been perceived as “the fairer sex.” Remember that old saying that girls are "made of sugar and spice and everything nice?" Well, these women prove that's not always true.
