How did Mary Queen of Scots have any claim to the English throne?

Depends on how you look at it. She was the highest Catholic in the line of succession, and as such, was the favorite of some Catholic Britons to take the throne. Plus, Elizabeth I was proclaimed illegitamate by her father and was considered illegitamate since the moment of her birth by Catholics because they did not recognize her parents' marriage. Thus, some claimed that Mary I of Scotland was the rightfull monarch of England as Mary II of England. Indeed, Jacobite succession recognized Jacobite pretenders named Mary as Mary III and Mary IV of England respectivly.

∙ 14y agoAlthough Mary, Queen of Scots was descended from Henry VII, the first Tudor king (her grandmother was Margaret Tudor, sister to Henry VIII), she was of the House of Stuart through her father, James V of Scotland.

∙ 13y agoIt really depends on what you think. Elizabeth was actually convinced by her councillors to execute Mary, and reluctantly signed the consent form. I personally don't think she was right to execute her (she was the real heir to the English throne!) but I can see why Elizabeth did as Mary spread Catholicism through England, and Elizabeth was Protestant.

No, they were different people. Henry VII had a daughter, Margaret, who married the Scottish king James IV.
