How was mary queen of scots related to elizabeth?

Elizabeth I of England was the daughter of Henry VIII, son of Henry VII. Mary I of Scotland was the grand-daughter of Queen Margaret, the daughter of Henry VII, who was married off to the King of Scotland. So, Elizabeth and Mary were second cousins. This was why Elizabeth was so worried about all the trouble Mary was causing in Scotland, because Mary had a valid claim to the English throne. Mary was also a passionate Catholic, as opposed to the moderately Protestant Elizabeth.


How did Mary Queen of Scots have any claim to the English throne?

Depends on how you look at it. She was the highest Catholic in the line of succession, and as such, was the favorite of some Catholic Britons to take the throne. Plus, Elizabeth I was proclaimed illegitamate by her father and was considered illegitamate since the moment of her birth by Catholics because they did not recognize her parents' marriage. Thus, some claimed that Mary I of Scotland was the rightfull monarch of England as Mary II of England. Indeed, Jacobite succession recognized Jacobite pretenders named Mary as Mary III and Mary IV of England respectivly.
