Queen Elizabeth and Mary Queen of Scots were not sisters. They were cousins Queen Elizabeth's father being the brother of Mary Queen of Scots grandmother. And no they didn't get along as Queen Elizabeth had Mary queen of Scots executed.
The relationship between Queen Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots is interesting, if a little complicated, and as with many aspects of British Monarchy is closely related to religious conflicts. The two women probably never met. Queen Elizabeth I of England was the daughter of King Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn. In order to marry Anne, Henry had needed to divorce his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, who was a Spanish Princess. The divorce was opposed by Pope Clement VII, who was under pressure from The Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, - Catherine's nephew. After much fruitless negotiation, Henry broke with the Roman Church and established the "Protestant" Church of England with himself as its head. Henry's newly appointed Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, duly declared Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon unlawful, leaving him free to marry Anne Boleyn. To add to the complication there are some other, essential background details: Elizabeth's mother, Anne Boleyn, was tried, convicted and executed for adultery, witchcraft and incest, most probably trumped up charges, and in the eyes of some people this made Elizabeth illegitimate. Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon had a daughter, Mary - Elizabeth's half sister - who later became Queen Mary I of England - she was a different person from Mary Queen of Scots, who was Elizabeth's first cousin, although some people confuse the two. Henry's third wife, Jane Seymour had a son, Edward, who also became King of England, as Edward VI. Still with it? More follows - When Henry VIII died his son Edward became King - even though he was the youngest of Henry's children, he took precedence over his two half sisters because he was a male. Edward followed his father's religion as a Protestant Christian and decreed in his will that his cousin, Lady Jane Grey would succeed him, rather than his Roman Catholic sister, Mary. When Edward died, Lady Jane lasted only nine days as Queen before being deposed by Mary, who became Queen Mary I. Lady Jane Grey was executed about a year later for treason and Mary was such an extreme Catholic that she earned the nickname "Bloody Mary" because of her brutal persecution, and executions of those who persevered with Protestantism. Mary I died with no children and before her death, agreed that Elizabeth would succeed her as Queen. Elizabeth reverted the country's religion to the Protestant Church of England, of which she became the first Supreme Governor - a title held by every monarch ever since. Elizabeth's persecution of Catholics and her other opponents, was probably just as brutal as Mary's persecution of non-Catholics had been. In both cases this was because the opposing religious faction was perceived as a threat to the monarch concerned. Meanwhile, in Scotland... King Henry VIII (remember him?) had a sister, Margaret Tudor, who had married King James IV of Scotland. Their son succeeded the throne of Scotland as James V, his second wife, Mary of Guise, gave birth to a daughter, Mary and he died six days after the birth, leaving Mary as Queen of Scotland ( Queen of Scots) just six days old. Mary's life was even more complicated than her cousin Elizabeth's - a few brief details: When she was six months old, the Treaties of Greenwich promised her in marriage to Henry VIII's son Edward VI, with the provision that their children would be heirs to the thrones of England and Scotland. Henry VIII tried to enforce this treaty by a series of military actions against Scotland, known as "The Rough Wooing." Her coronation as Queen of Scotland took place when she was nine months old, at Stirling Castle in Scotland. Mary's mother, Mary of Guise, was a French Princess, and a devout Roman Catholic, and agreed that Mary would marry the French Dauphin Francois, and at the age of five, Mary went to live in France, where she stayed for the next thirteen years. At the age of sixteen, she married Francois, who became King Francis II of France and Mary was his Queen Consort. Francis died in 1560 and Mary returned to Scotland. Under the laws of succession, Mary was next in line to the throne of England, and for those who considered Elizabeth I to be illegitimate, should have been Queen of England INSTEAD of Elizabeth. In 1565 Mary married Henry Darnley, Lord Stuart, her first cousin and another descendant of Henry VIII's father, King Henry VII. Queen Elizabeth I saw this as a definite threat, as Mary and Darnley's children would definitely inherit the throne of England. In the event, Mary and Darnley had a son, James who did succeed Elizabeth as King James I of England, having already been King James VI of Scotland. Darnley was murdered, probably by James, Earl of Bothwell, who became Mary's third husband - this did not enhance Mary's reputation. Eventually, Mary was implicated in several plots to assassinate Queen Elizabeth I, which she strenuously denied, was imprisoned by Elizabeth for eighteen years and then executed for treason in 1587. Her death warrant was signed by Queen Elizabeth.

You are confused. Mary I of Scotland (Mary Queen of Scots) was the daughter of Elizabeth's cousin. Elizabeth's half-sister was Mary I of England (Bloody Mary). She obviously did not kill her as Elizabeth had a long and fruitful reign after Mary's death.
they have the same names? They were cousins? However it was Queen Elizabeth who was the virgin!
