Mary Queen of the Scots was beheaded for basically being a Catholic and plotting to kill her Protestant sister Queen Elizabeth I. Being a Catholic in Protestant England was not the best thing. The kings' subjects should be the same religion as the king himself.
I think you mean the babington plot; a plot in 1586 organized to remove Elizabeth I from power and replace her with Mary Stuart, known as Mary Queen of Scots. The plot involved Catholic support and was uncovered largely by the work of Francis Walsingham, Elizabeth I's spymaster. The plot led to the execution of Mary Stuart in 1587, as Elizabeth finally had clear proof that mary had plotted against her. It can be seen as a (tenuous) cause of the Spanish Armada in 1588.

Protestants sought to use Mary, Queen of Scots, as a pawn in their political struggles against Catholicism and the Catholic monarchy. They aimed to undermine her claim to the English throne, as her legitimacy was seen as a threat to Protestant rule under Elizabeth I. By promoting Mary as a legitimate contender, Protestants hoped to rally support for their cause and weaken Catholic influence in England and Scotland. Additionally, her execution in 1587 galvanized Protestant sentiment against Catholicism, furthering the Protestant cause.

Mary Stuart, also known as Mary Queen of Scots, was not queen of England primarily due to her claim being contested and her political circumstances. Although she was a legitimate heir to the English throne through her grandmother, Margaret Tudor, tensions between Catholics and Protestants and her rivalry with Elizabeth I led to political opposition. After being implicated in plots against Elizabeth, Mary was imprisoned for nearly 19 years before her execution in 1587, effectively ending her claim to the English throne.
