Queen Elizabeth I died in 1603, a long, long time before Queen Elizabeth II was born. You might be referring to the Queen Mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, wife of George VI. She was never styled as Queen Elizabeth I or II though, because she was not a sovereign. She was a Queen Consort, the wife of a King, but had none of his powers, nor was she in line to the throne. When George VI died, the throne passed to the next in line, Elizabeth II.

Why was it important for queen elizabteth to kill mary queen of scots?

She was the next in line for the throne of England and as a Catholic, was the center of Catholic plots to overthrow Elizabeth and Put Mary on the throne.
