Best Answer

Because Edward VI and Mary I had different mothers, they were brought up to follow different beliefs (Mary's mother was Catherine of Aragon = Catholic & Edward's mother was Jane Seymour = Protestant) Edward VI was a puritan ( a Protestant extremist) and Mary I was a Catholic extremist, so this was all about religion; Edward VI had made England a very Protestant country and he knew that if his half sister Mary I successed him that she would make England a Catholic country. This is why he did not want her to become Queen of England.

Hope this helps :)
