Elizabeth I of England was the daughter of Henry VIII, son of Henry VII. Mary I of Scotland was the grand-daughter of Queen Margaret, the daughter of Henry VII, who was married off to the King of Scotland. So, Elizabeth and Mary were second cousins.
This was why Elizabeth was so worried about all the trouble Mary was causing in Scotland, because Mary had a valid claim to the English throne.
Mary was also a passionate Catholic, as opposed to the moderately Protestant Elizabeth.
