In 1554 Mary had Elizabeth imprisoned in the Tower of London, briefly threatened her with execution, and then placed her under house arrest. Elizabeth lived quietly at her family's country retreat north of London until she became queen upon her sister's death in 1558. Elizabeth's experiences as a child and young adult helped her develop keen political instincts that allowed her to skillfully balance aristocratic factions and court favorites during her long reign.

Elizabeth was deeply upset at Mary's execution. As Mary was a Catholic queen, and Elizabeth a Protestant, King Philip II of Spain (a Catholic) was angry that Mary had been executed. He sent the Spanish Armada in 1588 to invade England, but was defeated. Elizabeth continued to reign until her death in March 1603.
