the lennox crisis (1558–1563) was a political dilemma in england that arose from the dynastic ambition of the lennoxes: matthew stewart, the 4th earl of lennox, was third in line to the scottish throne, and his wife margaret douglas, the countess of lennox, was a niece of henry viii (henry's sister margaret tudor's daughter) and granddaughter of henry vii, making her second in line to the english throne after mary queen of scots, and her son darnley after her, should elizabeth not have been able to accede to or hold the throne for some reason. the lennox family represented an alternative line of succession to the english throne through margaret tudor, should henry's heirs not have been able to hold it for the time they did. as roman catholics, they posed a threat to protestant england, especially in 1558, as the 25-year-old queen elizabeth took the throne. although elizabeth was bright, witty, and well-educated for her position, as a female she had to prove herself. many roman catholics would have liked to have seen the next in line, the catholic mary, queen of scots, take the throne, as they regarded elizabeth as illegitimate, her parents' marriage not having been recognized by the catholic church. and many would have preferred darnley, as a male, to have the throne as well. all of these interrelationships made for complex intrigues, spying, strategizing and maneuvering for power at the various courts.
