Religion was a significant area of conflict between Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I due to their differing faiths—Mary was a Catholic, while Elizabeth was Protestant. This religious divide intensified political tensions, as Mary represented a legitimate Catholic claim to the English throne, making her a focal point for Catholic opposition to Elizabeth's rule. The Catholic Church and various Catholic powers in Europe, particularly Spain, supported Mary, which further exacerbated the conflict and jeopardized Elizabeth's reign. Additionally, the Protestant Reformation had created a volatile political landscape, where religion was intertwined with issues of loyalty and governance.
