[edit] Context

This article claims ...she does not seem to have killed any more for religious dissent than other Tudors. However the Bloody Mary (person) article claims:

...she executed more than twice as many as had been executed for this crime over the preceding century and a half.

Which claim is right?--Johnbull 00:17, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

My understanding is that whilst other Tudor monarchs executed similar numbers, they did so over a much longer period - Mary's reign being for only 5 years.
