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.
