Mary Tudor and Phillip II's marriage was very unpopular. English people did not like foreign rulers especially men, they feared they would control the country. Countries were being friendly to Elizabeth in hope that their princes would marry her, by her marrying Phillip it may have made countries jealous and they would stop being friendly. Therefore Elizabeth I did not marry Phillip II because she did not want to make herself unpopular with her people and other countries. And then there was the fact that Philip tried to kill Elizabeth while he was married to her sister.
