Mary Stuart, also known as Mary Queen of Scots, was not queen of England primarily due to her claim being contested and her political circumstances. Although she was a legitimate heir to the English throne through her grandmother, Margaret Tudor, tensions between Catholics and Protestants and her rivalry with Elizabeth I led to political opposition. After being implicated in plots against Elizabeth, Mary was imprisoned for nearly 19 years before her execution in 1587, effectively ending her claim to the English throne.
