  1. Mary I was Queen of England following the death of her younger half-brother Edward, who ruled following their father Henry VIII. After Mary I died childless, the crown was passed to Elizabeth I.


  2. They were sisters. Mary came first. She was Catholic a spent a lot of time burning Protestants. Her husband was a Spanish king. Elizabeth followed. She was Protestant and left no heir.

  3. Mary I was Queen of England and Ireland, however, she died of stomach cancer with no issue. Therefore, the crown was passed onto her half Protestant sister, Elizabeth, who succeeded Mary I as the last and final monarch of the Tudor Dynasty, because she died without issue as well.

    Note: Both Mary I and Elizabeth I were daughters of Henry VIII of England, so both women were legitimate heiresses to the throne.

  4. Mary I was Queen of England, she died childless, therefore her younger half-sister who was the last of the Tudors inherited the throne.

  5. um i thought that elizabeths father thought that mary was unsutible for the throne nd gave the position to elizabeth?

    lol
