Mary, Queen of Scots, who was Catholic, was deemed by Catholic extremists in England to be the proper heir to the throne, not Elizabeth. Most Catholics viewed the execution as an act of war. Philip II of Spain, who was intent on avenging this act and defending Catholicism, sent the Spanish Armada of 130 ships to attack England. Ultimately, the English navy was victorious and claimed naval superiority.
