She was heir to the throne, and also a Catholic so many people who were Catholics in England supported her. The problem was Elizabeth was afraid that she might try to overthrow her so she sent spies in to where Mary was being held prisoner and they discovered a plot to overthrow Elizabeth. Mary and a man called Anthony Babington were executed for treason.
