Elizabeth I of England: illegitimate, false queen and usurper. Mary Stuart was the rightful queen of England and Scotland.
damn y’all got wifi in 1587?
Well if we’re going by Henry VIII’s rule of law then Mary Stewart doesn’t have a claim either because he disinherited Margaret’s heirs! So technically the rightful heir to the throne after Mary I was Lady Catherine Grey, Countess of Hertford who was also the younger sister of Lady Jane Grey.
