Why didn't edward V1 want his sister Mary to become queen?

Because Edward VI and Mary I had different mothers, they were brought up to follow different beliefs (Mary's mother was Catherine of Aragon = Catholic & Edward's mother was Jane Seymour = Protestant) Edward VI was a puritan ( a Protestant extremist) and Mary I was a Catholic extremist, so this was all about religion; Edward VI had made England a very Protestant country and he knew that if his half sister Mary I successed him that she would make England a Catholic country. This is why he did not want her to become Queen of England. Hope this helps :)

Why was Queen Mary I a bad queen?

I guess it was not the Queen Mary of Scot but Queen Mary of England that was considered as evil. Actually Queen Mary is referred to as Bloody Mary. There is a popular game among the children known as bloody Mary too. She was very lured by the power of throne. Infact, she was the one who imprisoned Elizabeth because she was sure that she would not bear the England becoming catholic again. Mary was the one who almost killed each and every protestant and she undid all her father HenryVIII and his brother, Edward VI's hard work. This is why probably Queen Mary of England is known as to be evil.
