Mary was born on October 13, 1754 and came from a German family who lived in Trenton, New Jersey. Not much was known about her childhood, but she was not taught how to read or write. At the age of 15, she began working as a domestic helper for a family who lived in Carlisle Pennsylvania.
She would have been a serious threat to the queen as Mary had a claim to the English throne which was based on the fact that she was the grand-daughter of Margaret Tudor (Henry VIII’s sister). In the eyes of the Catholics, Mary's claim appeared stronger than Elizabeth's because they believed that Henry's marriage to Anne Boleyn was illegal. This would have seriously threatened Elizabeth’s security as there was a possibility that Elizabeth could lose her place on the English throne, therefore endangering her safety, royal supremacy, religious settlement. However, this threat didn’t remain as on the 19th May 1568, Elizabeth imprisoned her cousin. This shows that Mary, who was a prestigious Catholic, didn’t remain a threat to Elizabeth’s security as she was imprisoned for 19 years and was consequently unable to do anything about Elizabeth being queen.
Born the daughter of a British trader and a Creek Indian mother, Mary was a child of mixed heritage. Her mother died when she was around seven years of age.

Mary was born August 5, 1861 in Belleville,IL to Henry and Lavinia Richmond. She was raised by her grandmother and two aunts in Baltimore, MD after her parents died.

Richmond was home schooled because her grandmother and aunts were not familiar with the traditional education system until the age of eleven when she entered public school.
According to Abigail Archer, who wrote Elizabeth I, during Edward’s reign, Elizabeth was treated affectionately by Edward, and he welcomed her on occasional visits to court. However, during Mary’s reign Elizabeth suffered. Abigail Archer suggest that “Mary’s attitude toward Elizabeth veered from friendship to suspicion and back.” (Archer n.p.) This could be for the reasons mentioned before, she did not trust her due to her faith after Elizabeth’s birth and that they believe in different religions.
She was the last monarch of the Tudor family, and people questioned on whether she influenced the spirit of the Reformation. While some may argue that
In July of 1565, she wed a cousin named Henry Stewart, Lord Darnley, a weak, vain, and unstable young man; like Mary, he was also a grandchild of Henry VIII’s sister Margaret. Why Mary wed Darnley remains a mystery. He was superficially charming and, unlike most men, taller than the queen. He was also fond of courtly amusements and thus a nice change from the dour Scottish lords who surrounded her. But he never seemed to care for Mary and sought far more power than she was willing to give him.

Mary was a brave person. She leaved her house and decided to go with a family and look after their children when she was only 18 years old. Although Pa didn’t like her but she still chose to come with the family. She said: “I’d rather go with a family and look after kids, but I ain’t going back.

There is one Jesus Christ,' she once said. ' The rest is a dispute over trifles.'" (Britannica School, Elizabeth I) Despite being a Catholic herself in the belief of God, many Catholics were still persecuted and some were executed under her reign. In 1570 because of these actions Pope Pius V eventually excommunicated her.
