Nope, she was Henry VIII's oldest surviving daughter, who died of cancer at 
the age or 43 or thereabouts.  She got the moniker from making it a capital 
offense to be a practicing Protestant in England.   One of the available 
punishments, as I recall, was beheading.  OTOH, she was actually pretty 
typical of the monarchs up to that point in England, at least for a Tudor.  
This is pretty far off-topic, and I probably have some facts screwed up, but 
anyway....  
It does make you wonder what the lawmen of that day thought of all the stuff 
you could get hung, shortened, or drawn and quartered for....  A few decades 
earlier, having the wrong ancestors was enough to ensure a trip to the 
headsman.  That one didn't happen as much in Mary's time, because the family 
line in question had been pretty well wiped out by her father and 
andfather.
And we thought American politics was rough!
