The main reason people were killed in Elizabethan times was due to their religion. The 1559 religious settlement was mostly a protestant settlement, but at that time, the majority of England were Catholics. At first Elizabeth tried to push the Catholics slowly towards conformity, but there were radicals who followed Mary Queen of Scots (who was a Catholic) and wanted to remove Elizabeth from the throne. Plots developed that were against Elizabeth, for example, The Throckmorton Plot and rebellions such as The Northern Rebellion in 1569. The rebels were then executed, and many other Catholics followed suit later in the reign. So the main reason people were killed in Elizabethan times was for religious reasons and threats the the Queen's authority.
