Mary was related to the Tudors. Her grandmother was Margaret Tudor, Henry VIII's older sister. Margaret Tudor had married King James V of Scotland, and her son was Mary's father, James V. Henry VIII was thus her great Uncle, and she and Elizabeth were cousins.

Elizabeth's father Henry VIII, was Mary Queen of Scot's great uncle, which makes Elizabeth and Mary second cousins...I think.
I like her because she granted a charter that founded my old school.
