Relations with Scotland varied under Elizabeth's reign. Although she was keen for peace, she supported the Scottish Protestants and eventually imprisoned and executed Mary, Queen of Scots. Towards the end of the reign, however, relations were patched up, mainly as James VI, as heir presumptive, obviously desired to keep on good terms with Elizabeth.
