Yes:
She was a potiental heir to the English throne and, as a Catholic, was an iconic figure to the Catholic population of England. They wanted her on the throne so that they would have a monarch who shared their religion for various political reasons. She did sign a document to say she wanted a certain plot on Queen Elizabeth's life carried out and that she supported it.
No:
However, at this point she had been locked up for 18/19 years and never been let out by the very same woman. Even though it would get her the freedom she desired she automatically regretted that she signed that sheet. She needn't worry though. Her secret mail had been known about from day one. It had been organised by her captors to see if they could find out anything incriminating. So she was beheaded for 'treason'.

Queen Elizabeth's government proved the threat from Mary, Queen of Scots, through various plots and conspiracies that linked Mary to attempts to depose Elizabeth. The most significant was the Babington Plot in 1586, where Mary was implicated in a scheme to assassinate Elizabeth and place Mary on the English throne. This evidence, along with Mary's claim to the English crown and her Catholic support, fueled fears of a Catholic uprising in England. Ultimately, these threats led to Mary's trial and execution in 1587.
