The Spanish Armada was linked to Mary, Queen of Scots, through her claim to the English throne and her Catholic faith, which made her a figure of interest for Catholic powers like Spain. After Mary was executed in 1587 for her involvement in plots against Queen Elizabeth I, King Philip II of Spain saw her death as a rallying point to invade England and restore Catholicism. The Armada was intended to overthrow Elizabeth and place Mary’s son, James VI of Scotland, on the English throne, thus uniting the crowns under a Catholic ruler.
