She came to England for safety and Elizabeth imprisoned her for 19 years. Elizabeth was now in a dilemma as she could either kill he cousin and risk war with Spain or she could not kill her cousin and risk her own safety as many of Mary’s supporters tried to kill Elizabeth believing that Mary was the true queen of England as she had never been excluded from the succession. However a plot was formed which cost Mary her life it was called the Babingham plot. There was lots of Evidence against Mary and Elizabeth was forced to act. Elizabeth at the start could not bear to sign the warrant but eventually did and in 1587 Mary was beheaded. Elizabeth was now 40 years old and it was her last chance to have a child. There was one marriage, which nearly went thought. It was with the Duke of Ongue of France.
