To what extent did the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots, have the greatest impact on relations between England and the Catholic powers in the period 1568-88?

Introduction:> State why the period in the question is significant> Acknowledge the debate: widely contested by historians - where does this question fit in with the wider debates which surround the wider Tudor period?> Discuss in 1 sentence the execution - maybe 1/2 facts but nothing extensive and overly descriptive> Present the other 4 factors which can be said to have had an impact on relations - these are: The Religious Settlement 1559, Papal Bull 1559, Privateering and the situation in the Netherlands (at the time).> State which you think is the most important.> State briefly how the essay will tackle the question - beginning with the factor in the question, then discussing the others IN RELATION to which you think is the most important factor.* remember to use the words in the question to show focus*Para 1: the execution of M. Q. of Scots - why it had an impact, what kind of impact did it have? Why was it controversial? Is it the most important factor? If so, say so & WHY - i.e. this factor in comparison to the next factor you will deal with (say Papal Bull 1559).Or, is it not the most important factor? If not, say so & why - present which you think is the most important factor (again) and give a reason.Para 2 - another factor : perhaps the second most important factor from any of the above OR the factor you think most important (depends on the angle taken).Go through factors in descending order of importance, always arguing why your chosen factor is the most important.In the conclusion :> Summarise what has been said, do not include any new information.
