The answer to this question is "No", because the premise to the question is in and of itself wrong. Catherine of Aragon's daughter was known as "Bloody Mary" after she became the Queen of England and she was an English Catholic Queen who persecuted and executed many Protestants. Elizabeth I of England was a Protestant Queen, who executed Mary Queen of Scots, who was a Scottish Catholic Queen and Elizabeth's cousin.


How many people did Mary queen of Scots Kill?

Plus, Mary I of Scotland and Elizabeth I of England were not half-sisters. Elizabeth I was first cousin of Mary I's father. You've probably confused Mary I of Scotland with Mary I of England, who was Elizabeth I's half-sister, enemy and predecessor. Mary I of England (Bloody Mary) died a natural death, as did Elizabeth I
