Meanwhile, life for Mary had gone from bad to worse. Defeated and fearful for her life, she fled to England and threw herself on the mercy of her cousin, Queen Elizabeth. Mary Queen of Scots, poor girl, believed that Queen Elizabeth was on her side. I think Elizabeth was genuinely horrified when this problem arrived unexpectedly on her doorstep. So she made sure that Mary Queen of Scots would be locked up in close confinement all the time she stayed in England and really left it at that. In a world torn apart by religion, Catholic Mary was now prisoner in her Protestant cousin's kingdom. Elizabeth was the cat and poor Mary the mouse. Mary just got more and more desperate and I think she just wanted some dramatic resolution of this situation and a plot against Elizabeth's life was her foolish way of pursuing the same.
