Was the Spanish Armada caused by the execution of Mary Queen of Scots?

Partly.

Mary was brought up in France and spoke English with French accent. She was married three times, to the young King of France, to Lord Darnley (who was the father of James VI of Scotland and I of England and Scotland) and the Earl of Bothwell who, captured by pirates, went mad and died in Dragsholm Castle in Denmark.

Catholic countries like Spain were outraged by her execution, which certainly played a role in the long-planned (and ultimately disastrous) attack on England, the leading Protestant power of the time.
