Best Answer

She beheaded her cousin (very reluctantly) because Mary was conspiring with a group of English catholics to have Elizabeth killed. If she had succeeded in this then she, Mary, would have become the next queen of England and the hope was that the country could then return to Catholicism.

What is the connection between the nursery rhyme Mary Mary and Mary Tudor?

The Mary alluded to in this traditional English nursery rhyme is Mary Tudor, or Bloody Mary, who was the daughter of King Henry VIII. Queen Mary was a staunch Catholic and the garden referred to is an allusion to graveyards which were increasing in size with those who dared to continue to adhere to the Protestant faith. The silver bells and cockle shells were colloquialisms for instruments of torture. The 'maids' were a device to behead people similar to the guillotine.
