∙ 14y agoPrincess Elizabeth (later Elizabeth I) was in danger at various times throughout her sister Mary's reign. She was seen as a threat by Mary's supporters and at one stage was incarcerated in the Tower of London, as her mother (Anne Boleyn) had been before her. Luckily she was eventually released from the Tower, and when Mary died, Elizabeth was pronounced Queen.
