Queen Elizabeth I was urged by her advisors to quickly marry and produce an heir to the throne so that it would not fall to Mary Stuart. Despite their best efforts, Elizabeth would remain childless and unmarried. She turned down multiple proposals, including one from Prince Philip II of Spain - not Prince Philip I. This infuriated the King who later sent his Spanish Armada to invade England. The attempt would prove fruitless, with Elizabeth's Royal Navy defeating Philip's fleet.
Yes she did. Here are some main points about Mary I, including reference to her marriage to Phillip:
Mary Tudor (Mary I)
· Born 18 February 1516 at Greenwich, England.
· Daughter of Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) and his first wife Catherine of Aragon (1485 - 1536)
· Declared illegitimate when the marriage of her parents broke up.
· Eventually restored to the succession after Anne Boleyn's fall.
· When her brother Edward VI died in 1553, Lady Jane Grey proclaimed queen instead of Mary
· Mary is restored to the throne after the end of Jane Grey's "nine days" rule.
· In 1554, put down the rebellion led by Sir Thomas Wyatt. Mary is suspicious of Elizabeth.
· Mary imprisons her half sister Elizabeth in the Tower of London (March 1554) for 8 weeks.
· Married Phillip II of Spain on 25 July 1554, to help reinforce the restoration of Catholicism
· It is announced that Mary is pregnant in September 1554, but it proves not to be the case.
· Hundreds of Protestants burned at the stake for dissenting (hence the title Bloody Mary)
· In 1555 Phillip leaves England and returns to Spain, much to Mary's distress.
· In 1556 England loses its last possession in France: Calais.
· Mary is said to have declared that after her death the words "Phillip" and "Calais" would be found written on her heart.
· Phillip returns to England in March 1557.
· Mary announces she is pregnant and goes into confinement in February 1558, but again this proves to be a false alarm.
· Mary died on 17 November 1558, leaving the succession to her half sister, Elizabeth.
