It was the triumph of her life when Mary was crowned the first Queen of England and finally fulfilled the purpose she had always believed that she was born to.
There are a few depictions of Mary after her coronation and no contemporary paintings from the event itself.

| An Exchequer document depicting Mary wearing the red Parliamentary Robes and her crown. Her loose her is a symbol of her virginity. |
