Best Answer

There were several reasons why many in Scotland did not like Mary, Queen of Scots. The first was because she was a female. In that day in age many people thought that a female ruler was not as good as a male ruler. The second was because she was brought up in France and although she was Scottish she was looked at as a foreigner. The third was because she was Roman Catholic leading a country that was Protestant.

She made an idiot of herself by falling in love with the wrong man twice, and she was accused of the murder of her second husband, Lord Darnley. The Protestants didn't like her because she was the main Catholic rival to Elizabeth's throne.

Why do people think that Queen Mary of Scots was 1st cousin to elizabeth the first when in fact they have the same father king Henry the 8th which made the 2 queens half sisters?

No !! Mary Queen of Scots & Elizabeth do not have the same father ! Elizabeths 1/2 sister is Mary Tudor, Queen Mary I. Mary Queen of Scots is Mary Stuart, mother of James VI of Scotland, James I of England. She is Elizabeths cousin not her half sister. Mary I is Elizabeths 1/2 sister. Mary I & Mary, Queen of Scots are two (2) different people !
