Elizabeth I's decision to sign the death warrant of Mary Queen of Scots in 1587 was influenced by several factors. Mary had been implicated in multiple plots to assassinate Elizabeth, most notably the Babington Plot, which heightened fears of Catholic conspiracies against the Protestant Elizabeth. Additionally, Mary's claim to the English throne posed a continuous threat to Elizabeth's rule, as many Catholics viewed her as the legitimate monarch. Ultimately, the need to protect her reign and the stability of England outweighed any personal reluctance Elizabeth had about executing a fellow queen.
