Because they suspected Mary to change the countries religion when she became queen. Therefore they sent out spy's which found that Mary had been plotting against the queen; this was treason. The punishment for treason is excecution, the parliment would have been excecuted by Mary as they were protestants but Elizebeth got rid of her.
