Queen Elizabeth I was the daughter of King Henry VIII and (Queen) Anne Boleyn. As such, owing to the rules of male primogeniture, Elizabeth was third in line to the English throne after her younger brother Edward, then her older sister Mary. Upon Henry's death, Edward became king. Upon Edward's death, Mary became queen. Elizabeth became queen upon the death of Mary in 1558. Elizabeth's life and subsequent reign, is one of the most intriguing stories in the history of British monarchy. I strongly recommend reading a quality biography of Elizabeth, such as Allison Weir's or David Starkey's.

Elizabeth I came to the throne through normal succession. When her sister Mary I died, Elizabeth was next in line to the throne.
