Why did Elizabeth I keep her cousin Mary prisoner for 20 years?

Correct Answer: She suspected Mary of wanting to take over the English throne

Elizabeth I kept Mary, Queen of Scots prisoner for 20 years because she suspected Mary of wanting to take over the English throne.

Mary had a claim to the English crown as the granddaughter of Henry VII's sister. She was eventually executed in 1587 after being found guilty of plotting against Elizabeth.
