Sources vary, but it's accepted that Mary I of England executed (burned) fewer than 300 heretics during her reign.

In less than four years 277 persons were burned to death. Some, like Cranmer, Latimer, and Ridley, were men of influence and high position, but the majority belonged to the lower orders.

...only 283 Protestants were burnt to death during her rule, while 57,000 Catholics and Protestants were executed during Henry's time! Of course, he was King a lot longer than Mary was Queen.

There were some other executions, like Lady Jane Grey and her husband, Guilford Dudley:

However, the figure was great as she killed over 300 protestants after just one revolt. she was also ruthless as she even killed a 19 year old boy for not beleiving in transubstantiation!
