<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7564552, member: 101855&quot;]A couple people have already posted one of these Philip and Mary shillings in better condition, but if I had been an English citizen at this time, I would not have been happy with this. Spain was already becoming rival for England and now you have the King of Spain married to the Queen of England, who was born to Spanish royalty. Any children they would have produced probably would have been raised to be loyal to Spain first. </p><p><br /></p><p>Forget the fact that there was a promise that Philip would not become king if Mary died first. The fact is, if I had been British, I would have felt like England was headed toward becoming a Spanish satellite. </p><p><br /></p><p>Add to that the fact Mary ordered almost 300 people to burned at the stake for their religious views. &quot;Bloody Mary&quot; is one of my least favorite British monarchs. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1304282[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
