Protestants sought to use Mary, Queen of Scots, as a pawn in their political struggles against Catholicism and the Catholic monarchy. They aimed to undermine her claim to the English throne, as her legitimacy was seen as a threat to Protestant rule under Elizabeth I. By promoting Mary as a legitimate contender, Protestants hoped to rally support for their cause and weaken Catholic influence in England and Scotland. Additionally, her execution in 1587 galvanized Protestant sentiment against Catholicism, furthering the Protestant cause.
