The notes recount the welcome the people of England gave to the news that Mary was pregnant by Philip of Spain, even though they had previously opposed the marriage. It just demonstrates how much stability and orderly succession meant to people at the time.Stephanie A.

Thank you for your message!
You raise a very ...Hi! Thank you for your message!<br /><br />You raise a very interesting point. I’ve seen the term ‘Queen Regent’ and ‘Queen Regnant’ used in the same context and wondered which was the more appropriate. In her latest book on Mary Tudor, Judith Richards endorsed the term ‘Queen Regnant’ although in an article I read recently on queenship the term ‘queen regent’ was endorsed for the same role. However if Richards uses it – and she is an expert on issues regarding female rule during this period – I should also be using this title. So I’m going to re-edit the post!little_miss_sunnydalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04834404563322701533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5513034568756106415.post-21614443776215869852009-05-05T15:05:00.000-07:002009-05-05T15:05:00.000-07:00Great blog and great post!

Usually "regent" refers to someone reigning in the place of a minor or incapacitated monarch. Perhaps I have misunderstood the full definition of the word. I am used to Mary being called a queen "regnant" but then I suppose such words might have a different meaning in different countries......elena maria vidalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129629173535139807noreply@blogger.com
