Her cousin, Queen Elizabeth, saw her as a threat. When Mary fled to her cousin for protection, her cousin was not sure what to do. If she sent Mary back, her people might get angry and revolt. If she kept Mary in England, her [people might decide they wanted a Catholic priest and try to crown Mary and dethrone her. So Elizabeth locked her up. After 19 years in prison, Mary was found guilty of treason, and was executed.
