Queens don"t get their hands dirty- even Bloody Mary got other people to do her blood-letting. Elizabeth signed the death warrant. the Army or constabulary took matters into their own hands, acting on Royal warrant. It is an oversimplification to assume Elizabeth ( Axed) her rival queen, literaly. By the way, contrary to two Hollywood films, the two monarchs, Elizabeth and Mary ( of Scots) never met physically.

∙ 13y agoQueen Elizabeth and Mary were second cousins. Mary and her followers believed that she was the rightful heir to the throne of England, believing that Elizabeth should have been deemed illegitimate (See Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn). Mary conspired many times to assassinate Elizabeth. Elizabeth held her in the Tower, but Mary still conspired from prison throug letters that Elizabeth's council interceded. Elizabeth relunctantly signed Mary's death warrant. She mourned for the loss of her cousin, but knew that her death was needed for survival.

Did Anne Boleyn's daughter Elizabeth 1 kill Catherine of Aragon's daughter Mary 1 Queen of Scots?
The answer to this question is "No", because the premise to the question is in and of itself wrong. Catherine of Aragon's daughter was known as "Bloody Mary" after she became the Queen of England and she was an English Catholic Queen who persecuted and executed many Protestants. Elizabeth I of England was a Protestant Queen, who executed Mary Queen of Scots, who was a Scottish Catholic Queen and Elizabeth's cousin.
