<dcterms:abstract>The character of Mary I, or Mary Tudor, has been traditionally linked to the belief that&#xd;
she was a sanguinary queen who only wanted to persecute the heresy that, according to&#xd;
her, invaded England during her rule, and that bad reputation has persisted for centuries.&#xd;
However, some 21st century authors and historians, considering the latest historical&#xd;
discoveries, are actively trying to reshape her reputation through their works. This&#xd;
dissertation utilizes two biofictions based on the character of Mary I which try to shift&#xd;
this vision of the former queen, with them being Queen of Martyrs: The Story of Mary I&#xd;
(2017) by Samantha Wilcoxon and Mary, queen of Sorrows (2024) by Alison Weir have&#xd;
been used. The fictional analysis shows a more positive view of Mary, focusing more on&#xd;
her positive traits, and opposing the propagandistic reputation that has reached our days.</dcterms:abstract>
<dcterms:abstract>El personaje de María Tudor ha sido asociado con la creencia de que fue una reina&#xd;
sanguinaria que solo deseaba perseguir la herejía que, según ella, rodeaba a Inglaterra&#xd;
durante su reinado, y esa reputación le ha seguido a lo largo del tiempo. Sin embargo,&#xd;
algunos autores e historiadores del siglo XXI, considerando los últimos descubrimientos&#xd;
históricos, están intentando rehabilitar su imagen y mejorar su reputación a través de sus&#xd;
obras. Este Trabajo de Fin de Grado utiliza bioficciones basadas en María Tudor que&#xd;
intentan cambiar esta opinión popular que los lectores tienen de la antigua reina, siendo&#xd;
estas Queen of Martyrs: The Story of Mary I (2017) de Samantha Wilcoxon y Mary,&#xd;
Queen of Sorrows (2024) de Alison Weir. El análisis de estas obras muestra una visión&#xd;
más positiva de la antigua reina, dando más importancia a sus características positivas y&#xd;
opuesta a la reputación propagandística que ha perdurado hasta nuestros días.</dcterms:abstract>
