Answer 1

Elizabeth I authorized the execution of her cousin and heir to the English throne, Mary, Queen of Scots, in 1587.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1587, after years of refusing to do so, Elizabeth I finally authorized the execution of her cousin and the heir to the English throne, Mary, Queen of Scots. Anne Boleyn, on the other hand, was executed earlier by Henry VIII after being accused of adultery. Elizabeth's mother, Anne Boleyn, followed the theology of Martin Luther in secret. Elizabeth's reign was characterized by religious diversity and she adopted a moderate approach to religion during her early years.
