Amongst her most notable victories, Queen Elizabeth I successfully restored England to the Protestant faith. Many plots to overtake Elizabeth and convert the country back to Catholicism were devised, but failed. Mary, Queen of Scots, a devout Catholic and Elizabeth's cousin, was at the heart of these schemes. The likely successor of Elizabeth, Mary was imprisoned for 19 years for her role in the rebellion. This made her an attractive potential pawn for the likes of enemies such as Phillip II, King of Spain. Yet Mary would never be used to gain a foothold against Elizabeth, as she was executed in 1587. With the death of Mary and having no children of her own, Elizabeth was succeeded by the Protestant James VI of Scotland, son of Mary Queen of Scots, who later became King James I of England.
