Yes she was. let us not get too wrapped up in dates. Both Queens were Half-Sisters though a common Father, King Henry VIII. Mary was the daughter of Henry"s first marriage to Katharine of Aragon, who was ,as you may have guessed a Spanish lady.Elizabeth Tudor was the daughter of Henry and Anne Boleyn. Elizabeth acceded to the Throne on the death of Mary I (also called Bloody Mary) in l558 this was also the year of the Spanish Armada a failed amphibious assault on England by the Spanish Fleet. religious wars punctuated royal politics in those days!

Mary, Queen of Scots, also known as Mary Stuart or Mary I, was born 8 December 1542.
Queen Elizabeth I of England was born 7 September 1533.
1542 − 1533 = Elizabeth was 9 years older than Mary.
