This is a bit misguided due to historical facts. You may be thinking of the ( Battles) of the Spanish Armada- which was largely wrecked due to storms and not battle action- this was l558, shortly after the death ( natural causes, and in church!) Of Mary Tudor of England and the accession of Elizabeth Tudor- or Elizabeth I. The Spanish aimed at essentially seizing England by armed force- and conceivably assasinating Elizabeth or at least taking her prisoner. now Mary, Queen of Scots was executed in l587, almost 20 years after the failed Spanish invasion. a little far fetched. there may have been anti-Elizabethan plots hatched- at various times including Lord Essex.- but, not at this particular juncture in history. remember telecommunications ( even telegraphy) were centuries in the future. It would have been difficult to command and control spies or counter-terrorism personnel on this regard. also-it was and is considered bad form to murder a Lady, especially a sovereign Queen! asssasination attempts, yes, but none verified- Elizabeth lived until 3.25.03 (l603)/

Queen Mary, but she could not. She thought Elizabeth wanted to kill her, but when they told her to sign the contract to kill Elizabeth, she said no.

Why was queen Elizabeth 1st put in jail?

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.


Why was Mary called Mary queen of Scots?

She was called bloody Mary


Why did Mary imprison her sister Queen Elizabeth?

Elizabeth was the third in line for the throne after Henry VIII's death. She was a protestant heir to the throne and Mary who was the Catholic monarch before her was afraid that she would attempt to over throw her and place herself on the throne as a Protestant Queen. Mary imprisoned Elizabeth in 1554 because she was thought to have been involved in a Protestant plot against Mary that was lead by Sir Thomas Wyatt. She was released a short time later, I believe it was 8 weeks later, with no charge but was placed under house arrest.


How did Mary 1 try to take Elizabeth 1 throne?

Mary Queen of Scots was under house arrest for many years and received numerous letters asking her to authorize plots. She declined until it seemed she would never be freed from the prison that Elizabeth I of England was keeping her in. After this, councilors pushed even harder for her death, something that Elizabeth had been putting off for a significantly long time. Mary never tried to take the English throne. All she tried to gain was her freedom.


Who received the throne after Queen Elizabeth 1 died?

Amongst her most notable victories, Queen Elizabeth I successfully restored England to the Protestant faith. Many plots to overtake Elizabeth and convert the country back to Catholicism were devised, but failed. Mary, Queen of Scots, a devout Catholic and Elizabeth's cousin, was at the heart of these schemes. The likely successor of Elizabeth, Mary was imprisoned for 19 years for her role in the rebellion. This made her an attractive potential pawn for the likes of enemies such as Phillip II, King of Spain. Yet Mary would never be used to gain a foothold against Elizabeth, as she was executed in 1587. With the death of Mary and having no children of her own, Elizabeth was succeeded by the Protestant James VI of Scotland, son of Mary Queen of Scots, who later became King James I of England.

Did Queen Elizabeth ever go to jail?

Elizabeth 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.

Why did Queen Elizabeth I kill Mary Queen of Scots?

With the establishment of the Church of England, Elizabeth was viewed at home and abroad as a Protestant ruler. Although she did not face considerable problems earlier in her reign, when Mary Queen of Scots, a devout Catholic and claimant to the English throne, arrived in England in 1568 Catholic dissention quickly broke out. Countless plots to overthrow Elizabeth and seat Mary were schemed. In 1587, Elizabeth's counsellors finally convinced her to execute Mary on charges that she had plotted to overtake the throne.


Was Queen Elizabeth at the beheading of Mary Queen of Scots?

No, it would seem as though she was unaware that the execution was even taking place. Elizabeth was a very wishy-washy person, and after much pressuring from her advisers, she finally allowed the execution of Mary to take place. Her advisers were aware of how quickly she could change her mind, and instantly put her execution in motion. Elizabeth finally found out about her cousin's death when she heard the tolling of the bells that signaled that an exectuction had taken place. Ironically, she was greatly sadden and depressed afterwards because of Mary's death.
