Was Mary guilty of treason

Mary, Queen of Scots, was implicated in treason due to her involvement in plots to assassinate Queen Elizabeth I and her claim to the English throne. After being captured, she was tried and found guilty of treason in 1586. Although her actions were seen as a threat to Elizabeth's reign, the political context and her status as a monarch complicate the straightforward assessment of her guilt. Ultimately, she was executed in 1587, marking a significant moment in the tumultuous relationship between England and Scotland.
