∙ 14y agoIn real life, NO. In Hollywood history yes, there are two Queen-to-Queen encounters in BOTH of the movies based on this tragic queen. Katherine Hepburn and Florence Eldridge were the two Queens involved in the thirties film, I am not up on the more recent Mary, Queen of Scots TV-movies. there was a huge interest in Tudor times- from Henry VIII up through Elizabeth I in the late sixties and early seventies fueled by TV dramas, articles on Elizabeth in National Geographic and so on.

∙ 15y agoYou are confused. Mary I of Scotland (Mary Queen of Scots) was the daughter of Elizabeth's cousin. Elizabeth's half-sister was Mary I of England (Bloody Mary). She obviously did not kill her as Elizabeth had a long and fruitful reign after Mary's death.

∙ 11y agoNo, they were 2nd cousins, descended from Henry Tudor, Henry 7th.
That Henry fathered, among other children, Margaret and Henry. That Henry became Henry 8th, Margaret married james Stuart, James 4th of Scotland.
Henry 8 fathered, among others, Mary, whose mother was Catherine of Aragon; and Elizabeth, whose mother was Anne Boleyn. That Mary and Elizabeth were half sisters. Mary became Queen Mary 1st of England, upon her death her half-sister became Elizabeth 1st.
Margaret and James 4's son was James 5th, who was the father of Mary of Scotland. Mary of Scotland was never Queen of England, though she made claim to it as descendant of Henry 7 through Margaret.
Confused? Wait it gets worse. In addition to the two people named Mary who were in conflict with Liz, they were both Catholics, Liz was Protestant. When protestants were in power they chopped off Catholics heads, Catholics in power executed Protestants, Mary 1 was so proficient at it she became known as Bloody Mary. Such religious rivalry is hard to understand today, especially for Americans. Part of it was due to Henry 8's recent split from Roman Church, that just added to economic and political rivalry between Protestant England and Catholic Spain. Scotland was politically allied with Spain. Mary 1 was married to the heir to Throne of Spain (later King Philip 2nd) mary had put Liz in prison but eventually let her out.
When Mary 1 died, the other Mary, now Queen of Scots put in her bid for throne again, but she had married a King of France, another Catholic and ally of Scotland against England. But she was now a widow and back in Scotland. Liz becomes Queen of England. Mary of Scotland marries her cousin Henry Stuart, a descendant of old Henry 7, through Margaret, and thus an heir to the English throne. Scotland is having all sorts of political uproars, Henry Stuart gets murdered, they chase Mary out. Mary and Henry's son becomes James 5th of Scotland. Mary runs off to seek help or asylum from Liz, remembering Mary's claims on the thrown, promptly arrests her and chops off her head.
When Liz dies, she leaves no heir, being unmarried and the Virgin Queen and all. When they go searching for the nearest heir, it turns out to be James ( Stuart) v of Scotland, through his descent thru Margaret from old Henry 7, he becomes James 1 King of England and Scotland. Seems like all that head choppin and alliances were pointless.
