Although she was not the heir Henry VIII was looking for, she was beloved by her parents. But when she was about eleven, Henry decided to divorce Mary's mother, Catherine of Aragon, to marry Anne Boleyn. After Anne Boleyn had Elizabeth Mary had to become one of Elizabeth's servants. As time passed, in the 1900's children began to make a trick out of this. They said you must light 3 candles, leave the water running snf the lights off in the bathroom and spin around saying her name 3 times.
