Why did Queen Elizabeth I kill Mary Queen of Scots?

Queen Elizabeth I had Mary Queen of Scots executed in 1587 due to a combination of political, religious, and personal reasons. Mary's claim to the English throne posed a threat to Elizabeth's rule, as she was seen as a legitimate Catholic heir. Additionally, Mary's involvement in various plots against Elizabeth, such as the Babington Plot, further solidified the decision to have her executed. The execution of Mary Queen of Scots was a strategic move to protect Elizabeth's reign and maintain stability in England.

The Scots began migrating to Northern Ireland, particularly during the 17th century, with significant waves occurring during the Ulster Plantation from 1606 onwards.

What was the route of the Queen Mary when it took the british army to Egypt in 1943?

I checked a few websites, including Queenmary.com These sites did not specify routes taken, however the Ship traveled primary between Scotland to/from US Scotland to/from Sidney, Australia Sidney to/from Scotland Suez, Egypt was a destination on a few occasions. It is most likely that the Queen Mary did not ever transit through the Mediterranean Sea during the war. Any troops taken to Egypt 1940-1943 would have gone from Great Britain to Egypt around the southern tip of Africa. Also troops from Australia could go from Australia to Suez directly through the Indian Ocean until the Japanese entered the war in December 1941. It was not safe for the Queen Mary to travel between Australia & Suez until the end of 1942. By 1943 the Allies were already in place and winning in North Africa (Egypt). It actually took hundreds of troop transports to move the British, Australian, American, Canadian, New Zealand, Free French & other allied troops across the various oceans to the many combat theaters. The Queen Mary was modified to carry the largest number of troops at a single time.

A borderline question. As she was at one time Queen Of France, there was a move to have the body of Mary, Queen of Scots, transported to Paris or some other French city for a ( French Burial).

Was Elizabeth pleased when Mary I died?

Elizabeth was sooo sad because she was her cousin and she refused to kill her three times Mary I was Elizabeth's half-sister, not her cousin (that was Mary, Queen of Scots). When Elizabeth received the news that Mary had died and she (Elizabeth) was now queen, her comment was "This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes" so inasmuch as she was now queen, she was happy. She also said "The laws of nature move me to sorrow for my sister". They had had a rocky relationship and were not especially close. Thus, Elizabeth could be said to have been both happy and sad.
