Elizabeth was unmarried and childless. Lady Catherine Grey was considered a likely heir to the throne until her own death in 1568. This brought Lady Mary Grey to relative prominence.

An heir presumptive is the person provisionally scheduled to inherit a throne peerage or other hereditary honor but whose position can be displaced by the birth of an Heir apparent Mary Grey was already living under house arrest at that time, having been imprisoned in 1565 for marrying royal gatekeeper Thomas Keyes without the permission of Queen Elizabeth.
