Plot Summary of Mary, Bloody Mary
"As King Henry VIII divorces his wife Catherine of Aragon to marry Anne Boleyn, Mary (Catherine's daughter) is treated less and less like a princess and more like a common servant. As the rise of Anne stops with the birth of her daughter Elizabeth, Mary watches firsthand the fall of Anne and the rest of the Boleyns."
L. Chang, Resident Scholar
