Queen Elizabeth I (1533 - 1603) was locked up in the Tower of London in March 1554 for 8 weeks, (when she was still Princess Elizabeth) on the orders of her half sister, Mary I (1516 - 1558). Mary was suspicious of Elizabeth and thought she might be the inspiration for plots against her.
When Mary I died in 1558, Elizabeth became Queen.

∙ 14y agoElizabeth I (1533 - 1603) did suffer imprisonment for a short period, when she was still Princess Elizabeth, and her half-sister Mary was Queen Mary I (1516 - 1558).
Because Mary was suspicious that Elizabeth may be involved in plots against her, she had Elizabeth consigned to the Tower of London in March 1554 for 8 weeks. After which time, Elizabeth was released to house arrest.
But when Mary died in 1558, Elizabeth came to the throne.

∙ 13y agoQueen Mary, Elizabeth's half sister, imprisoned her in the Tower of London. Mary did so because she believed that Elizabeth was a threat to her throne. Also, Elizabeth was a Protestant while Mary was Catholic, so naturally there was some tension there.
