King Philip II of Spain sought to remove Queen Elizabeth I of England primarily due to her support for Protestantism, which threatened the Catholic Church's influence and Spain's dominance in Europe. Additionally, Elizabeth's backing of Protestant rebels in the Spanish Netherlands and her involvement in the English privateering against Spanish ships intensified tensions. Philip also had personal motives, as he viewed Elizabeth's refusal to marry him and secure a Catholic alliance as a direct challenge to his ambitions. Ultimately, these factors contributed to the desire to eliminate her as a political rival.
