See the link below for a short description, after you read it you can decide for yourself whether the nickname is deserved. But you should keep in mind that Oliver Cromwell often killed more people for their religion in one day than Mary did in her entire reign, yet the English consider him a hero.

Mary had a lot of Protestants burned during her reign. But her sister Elizabeth burned Catholics, and her father henry VIII killed both Protestants and Catholics, and neither of them are known as 'bloody' so it seems rather unfair.
