Yes, but she didn’t murder her spouses so she gets a bit of a break! I’m afraid the Tudor and Lancastrians were far more murderous than the house of York.

The Tudors were ruthless mainly since the House of York was always a threat on their mind. Frankly, the Tudors were viewed as upstarts, but with Henry, the bloodbaths didn’t begin until he went crazy over Anne Boleyn and wanted to eliminate Catholicism and establish himself as Pope of the English Church. Then there were the uprisings reacting against both Anne Boleyn and his new religious policies that had to be put down, along with his butchery of the nobility, mainly the descendants of the House of York.

In my view the Tudors were the main reason that there are religious problems and of course, a disgraceful version of monarchy in Britain today.
