Detailed explanation-1: -She was married to King Philip II of Spain. They did not have any children, so when Mary died after only five years on the throne, she was succeeded by her sister, Elizabeth I.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mary had two phantom pregnancies (or false pregnancies), but had no child. The phantom pregnancies were cancer in her liver. After Mary died Elizabeth succeeded to the throne, becoming the new Queen Elizabeth I of England.
Detailed explanation-3: -To give just one example, this week I am going to be talking at a workshop about the case of Queen Mary I (1516-1558). It’s quite well known by historians that she had two false pregnancies. She thought she was pregnant, her physicians and female attendants thought she was pregnant, but she wasn’t.
