According to the right of succession, Mary Queen of Scots was in line to succeed Elizabeth, since Elizabeth had no children. Mary was Catholic, so Elizabeth had her imprisoned and executed. When Elizabeth died, Mary's son James did indeed succeed to the throne, uniting the crowns of Scotland and England, but he did not favor his Catholic subjects. The Gunpowder Plot was the result of their bitter disappointment over this.
