How did Mary 1 try to take Elizabeth 1 throne?

Mary Queen of Scots was under house arrest for many years and received numerous letters asking her to authorize plots. She declined until it seemed she would never be freed from the prison that Elizabeth I of England was keeping her in. After this, councilors pushed even harder for her death, something that Elizabeth had been putting off for a significantly long time. Mary never tried to take the English throne. All she tried to gain was her freedom.


Why did Elizabeth 1 want to execute Mary Queen of Scots?

James VI of Scotland, son of Mary, Queen of Scots, became King James I of England upon the death of Elizabeth I because he was her closest living relative. James was related to Elizabeth through her aunt, Henry VIII's sister, Margaret Tudor. Margaret was James' great-great grandmother and as Elizabeth had no children, he was the next in line for the English throne. With James' succession, began the House of Stuart. Margaret Tudor, Henry VIII's sister, married James IV of Scotland who begat James V, who married Marie de Guise from France, and begat Mary, Queen of Scots, the mother of James VI, who eventually became James I of England. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_I_of_England#Proclaimed_King_of_England

For what reasons did many of Elizabeths 1sts advisers want ro persuade Elizabeth to execute Mary Queen of Scots?

Elizabeth was a Protestant Queen, making England a Protestant country, whereas Mary was a devout Catholic. Although there were Protestants in England at the time, there were also many Catholics who supported Mary as Queen. Since from the Catholic viewpoint Henry VIII and Catherine of Argon's marriage was never annulled. That would have made Elizabeth, Anne Boleyn's child, illegitimate, since at the time of her conception, Catherine was not dead and still the wife of Henry. She could have been considered a bastard by many people. Mary, Queen of Scots, would have been her closest relative, making her the biggest threat to Elizabeth's throne. In order to protect it, she had Mary beheaded. Elizabeth later claimed the execution papers were to only make Mary nervous so she would back off. Any way, the order was carried out, even if it wasn't supposed to be.

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.
