Why did Elizabeth 1 not like her sister Mary?

Mary Queen of Scots had been deposed and fled Scotland, going to England seeking shelter. Since she had always claimed that Elizabeth I was illegitimate and that she, Mary, was the rightful queen, Elizabeth told her she had to give up that idea if she wanted protection. Mary refused, so Elizabeth had her put in confinement. Mary was imprisoned for 19 years, but finally was implicated in plots to overthrow Elizabeth. Parliament insisted that Mary be executed, and Elizabeth complied.

Whether Mary was actually guilty of plotting we will never know. Nor will we know whether Elizabeth was actually reluctant to have her executed, as it is claimed.
