MARY I OF ENGLAND in Real Life- YOUNG to OLD- With Animations- Mortal Faces

In this video I show how Queen Mary I of England looked in real life using my technology and Photoshop skills. I also dive into her life to give a short synopsis about her. Here on MortaFaces, I bring historic portraits to life so it is easy to visualize famous historical people.
Mary I of England was also known as Bloody Mary due to her reputation of burning Protestants at the stake. She was born Mary Tudor, the first legitimate child of King Henry VIII in 1516. Her mother was Catherine of Aragon. Mary had a chaotic life as she was first a princess and her future was looking good as possible heir to the throne. Then Anne Boleyn came and destroyed everything. Through Henry's divorce with Catherine, Mary also lost her title and status. She was even considered illegitimate! Mary would eventually take a sisterly bond with her half sister Elizabeth, the future Queen Elizabeth I (Boleyn's daughter). Mary would eventually rise back up and claim her throne from Lady Jane Grey once her brother King Edward VI died. She would rule religiously, trying to bring England back to Catholicism.

I pity her, she was a lovely , very intelligent child that went from having the love of both parents to losing her mother because of a mistress her father wanted, losing her reputation as a royal princess and becoming a bastard. To live under constant threats from her father because she would not relinquish her faith, to be executed as a traitor( there was issued a warrant for her to be arrested , tried and executed waiting for the King's signature) The only thing that kept this warrant from being signed is that his right hand realized that if Henry killed Mary, there would be a revolt by the people. They loved Catherine, regarded her as the true wife and Queen and Mary as the Princess Royal. He warned him that this act could destroy England into not only a civil war, but between two religions into a fire that may not be extinquished. Henry was tired of Mary's resistance and wanted this problem out of his life, there were those hinting that Mary should be made an example of before the people. Cromwell knew that this was the worst mistake Henry could make, lucky or unlucky Mary lived, exiled from court to a lonely life than made an maid to her newborn half-sister where she was bullied by servants and Anne made her life as miserable as she could. Mary had no one but the Spanish ambassador to give her loving attention, direction and understood the pressures that she endured. It is no wonder her faith was so important, could anyone of us kept our mental state from deteriorating to such a state under such threats, pressures and constant bullies who were so cruel? Her health problems , I believe were caused by this and her slow but steady decent into paranoia and the almost martyr complex she developed. She could not protect herself from either her father, or Ann, but her hatred could be taken out on the only person she could and that was her sister. It is very likely, a warrant for Elizabeth's death was waiting to be signed when Mary could get enough evidence to rid herself of the reason for her mother's fall from grace. By this time, Mary could not see that a baby was innocent of it's parent's crimes. Not able to vent her anger on her father who she both loved and feared, on the Woman who took her mother's place and bullied her, .... it's the old Dad hits Mom, Mom hits child, child kicks the dog. All this destroyed her health, her mind and beauty as portraits show. Philip of Spain was rather shocked that Mary looked nothing like her portrait he was shown. He did not find her attractive but old and worn looking and what he must have said in private ..... I feel, Mary was quite insane at the end of this, and it is so very sad how her life was destroyed and her reputation muddied . Yes, she had innocent people killed, but so did every King before her and after her- with much higher numbers. They can all be called Bloody including Elizabeth who though having natural intelligence, beauty and an very early understanding of the power games surrounding her, also inherited so not so good character traits from both her parents which became very evident during her reign. Yes, she was smart, acute and determined to be her own person, but also could be vindictive, jealous of other women's beauty, wanting to be sexualized as the most alluring woman who loved to flirt yet keep at a distance handsome men who were to idolize her only, when they married -- all Hell broke loose and some lost their heads because of it, making untruth as truth is what Monarchs did if they got pissed off. She refused to sleep and have sex with them, but they were to be always sexually attracted and available to extol her beauty and never marry for this was a betrayal of her. Sounds very much like Henry thinking he was so attractive even when he was fat and had oozing sore that stank. She lost her beauty and grew old as is normal, but for Elizabeth this was life betraying her and she would not have it, she still required handsome men to tell her of her beauty and woe betide the beu who could not carry off this lie off. Like her mother, she craved power and welded it with spite at times. Her temper could explode without warning and her ministers must have had fun trying to deal with Elizabeth as they did with Henry, never quite sure what reactions they would get. Like all of us, none are perfect angels nor absolute devils , but absolute power has a way of bringing out the worst in many of us -- some more than others. We need to remember that written history is often not completly honest, sometimes very inaccurate, and deliberate lies are told about situations, and people. That has not changed even in our timeline.

[@christina3521]

You captured this beautifully. No one seems to understand the devastation and complete social trauma of the break with Rome and the Dissolution of the churches and monasteries. The social fabric and actual building landscape of 900 years ripped apart from rich to poor. Mary was front and center to all of this. Her father and Elizabeth had hundreds executed between them, wording changed the execution warrants for treason, yet because of the success of the next reign and religion, she still carries that epitaph - but definitely not saying Cranmer deserved that martyrs death, none of them did. Does anyone know if anyone on her counsel argued against the burnings? But to argue with the monarch could be treason - no one wins. What raw and terrible times.

Mary has one of the most tragic stories from beginning to end in all of English royal history. And while she was definitely a victim of her times, she was strong, intelligent, fiercely kind and generous to a fault...like her mother before her. It's important to note that, at the end of her life she DID have a choice. She chose to uphold her father's line of succession and pass the crown to Elizabeth rather than have her executed. I know she didn't like it, but she also went waaaay out of her way to avoid having to execute Jane Grey. Both of these say a lot about who Mary actually was.

Mary acknowledged that she was a child and probably a pawn of her father so had her kept out of the public with the understanding that she'd be kept out of the way for a while then let out to live quietly, but Jane would write letters to nobles reminding them that she was queen and her father started a rebellion in her name, so in the end, Mary was left in an impossible position, particularly as Spain would not approve her marriage to Phillip if there was any threat to her throne.

Mary had been a graceful child with glorious long red hair, 'as beautiful as ever seen on human head'. In 1531 the Venetian ambassador described her as having a 'pretty face, a very beautiful complexion [and a] well-proportioned physique'. Two years later, another Venetian wrote that she was 'of low stature with a red and white complexion, and very thin'. Her eyes were large and pale, 'so piercing that they inspire not only respect but fear'. However, her alarming stare was the result of her eyesight being so poor 'that to read she must hold the page close to her face'. She had a tightly-buttoned, thin-lipped mouth and a flat, retrousse nose; by the time she entered adulthood she had, like many of her contemporaries, lost most of her teeth.

You may want to read up more on Henry VIII and his thousands of victims. Please remember that he is the one who started the killings. Being burnt is terrible, but Henry VIII's method was worse. He would have a person hung. While still alive, he would have them disemboweled. Afterwards, they would be lowered and quartered. .People are defending Mary, because of the gross distortion of her through the centuries.

[@marinamoretti7919]

Awesome! Could you do also the mortal face of Mary Stuart ?

[@iamjustsaying4787]

She never got old.

[@AndrewMacLaine]

Depends on your definition of old. She was 42 when she died, but all the emotional, medical, and dutiful stress she experienced in her life aged her.

[@anarelle]

This is mermerizing. You've done a fantastic job. As a simple suggestion: it might be good to add the name of each character displayed, so we know exactly who we're looking at. But this is absolutely amazing.

I would love to see Mary Queen of Scots. I've always read she was pretty and quite charming.

[@gypsydonovan]

And very tall. She was tall for a man of the era but it ran in her family. A lot of plantagenets & Tudors are described as over 6 ft, but I think Mary may have been the only woman. There's something in the back of my mind saying there's another but I can't think of her.

[@JoyOgbatue]

The actress Laura Linney looks like Mary the 1st. She needs to play her in a movie one day. 🍿 🎥

[@dan5660]

Your recreations are amazing- keep up the good work. As a history buff, I've always viewed Mary I as a bitter & self-possessed woman- taking out her disappoints on Europe thru religious war & intolerance. I believe Elizabeth I had to walk on eggshells to deal with her before becoming queen herself.

[@Nana-vi4rd]

Mary also had very bad teeth which also could have caused many major medical problems for her as well.

[@astrofabio68]

in that age, everybody had bad theets

[@charitysheppard4549]

It would be more appropriate to say that Mary is the only child of Henry and Katherine to survive to adulthood. There were 2 male babies who were live born. One lived to around 2 months and one just a few days. There was one female baby who was either stillborn or only lived a few hours, but the sources are unclear. Katherine also suffered several miscarriages, including her first pregnancy. Her physicians convinced her that the miscarried child was one of a twin, and that the twin remained, but this was untrue. Differing sources tell of her number of pregnancies, some where she went into confinement, some where she did not reach her last 60-90 days when confinement would begin. Most count Katherine's number of pregnancies at 6-8. So, to say that Mary was the only child, is untrue, just the only lived child to live past 60 days.

[@harild1965]

Please, Maria II (de la película LA FAVORITA).

[@MsWiccanpriestess]

Mary died of a stomach distension, better known as stomach cancer today. But before this Mary had claimed to have been pregnant numerous times by Philip II. But never producing a prince, she went through what was called phantom pregnancy, it's a condition where a woman feels as though she is pregnant, but there's no proof of a baby. Nevertheless, this sent Mary into a deep depression and never emerging from her palace. Philip at this point turned his back on Mary and sailed back to Spain, leaving Mary alone. Shortly after Mary passed away England needed a queen, so one of Mary's councilors removed a ring from her finger and rode out to find Elizabeth, when he found her he told her that her sister had just died and that now she was Queen of England. Elizabeth was anointed and given the scepters of the monarch. Queen Elizabeth I was crowned and ended up governing England for 43 years today her reign is still considered a golden age.

[@danayadennis]

I think because she was a strict ruler they made her look mean to an extent

[@valentinr.dominguez2892]

Her looks are the result of the suffering she through in life.

[@elliewegman1846]

No one can say for sure whether Henry VIII 's syphillis was a factor in failure to conceive. He apparently absolutely stunk with the supporating ulcers on his legs. What a trial for his young wives.. maybe the scaffold was a relief. These english monarchs are a weird bunch, yet people were expected to be 'subjects' to them. Crazy.

[@twelfthlady847]

She was actually very kind, her policies are just evidence that she product of her own times. She didn't WANT to burn people, her society taught her that it had to be done. Burning as a judicial punishment for heresy existed long before her reign.
