Bloody Mary: The first woman to be crowned Queen

Season 2 Episode 4 | 2m 55s

Mary had a very difficult line to tread as the first queen; she had to blur the genders, but what she did set the pattern for all the queens to follow. Lucy investigates if the real Queen Mary has been lost to history. She is now reduced to a mere two words "Bloody Mary," but was she the victim of a smear campaign because she was the first women in a man's world?
