Mary Queen of Scots was ultimately executed due to the letters she exchanged with supporters of the Catholic cause in England, particularly the Babington Plot, which aimed to assassinate Queen Elizabeth I and place Mary on the English throne. These letters were intercepted by Elizabeth's spies, notably Sir Francis Walsingham, and provided crucial evidence of Mary's involvement in the conspiracy against Elizabeth. This led to her trial and subsequent execution in 1587.
