Elizabeth's life was spared, but Mary's marriage to Philip II of Spain raised the possibility of an heir and perpetuation of Mary's forcible return of England to the Catholic faith which was not shared by the majority of Britons or the aristocracy.
Although the queen herself attempted to steer a middle way between extremist beliefs, she was herself unquestionably Protestant, and the persecution of Catholics and others regarded as heretics continued, particularly in Ireland.
Queen Elizabeth's reign commenced with a debt of £3,000,000 inherited from Queen Mary I, causing Elizabeth, Cecil, and other members of the Privy Council to undertake stringent measures bordering on parsimony to cut expenditures.

 The Saga of Mary Queen of Scots
Mary was half French, her mother a daughter of the powerful French house of Guise, and to Marie France would always be home.
It was time young Mary met her French relatives, tasted the culture of a truly civilized court — and fulfilled French wishes by entering her betrothal to the young Dauphin of France.
But in the meantime, with Mary safe in France, Marie de Guise would hold the country in trust, struggle fiercely against the Protestant forces which wanted to undermine the Pope’s authority, and keep the country safe until her daughter’s minority was finished.

 Mary Queen of Scots
The tale of the free-spirited and beautiful Queen of Scots, who refused to accept the constraints of her birth and position, still appeals to us today.
Mary's inheritance gave her both the Scottish throne in 1542, when she was only six days old, and a claim to the English throne that would lead to her death.
Finally, there was an eighteen-year exile as Elizabeth I's prisoner, passing the long days of captivity at her embroidery or her prayers, the center of a network of intrigue, double agents, coded dispatches, and mysterious couriers, which was to lead ineluctably to her trial and execution.
