London Queen

Can anyone explain to me why Queen Elizabeth I was imprisoned at the Tower of London?

And what she had to do with the Wyatt Rebellion?
I have a research paper due tuesday, and I am very, very, very confused.
Thanks >.<

She was seen as a threat to Mary 1st who was a staunch Catholic. Mary threatened her with charges of treason.

Sir Thomas Wyatt was involved with a plot of rebellion against Mary 1st and sent a letter to Elizabeth which was intercepted and read by agents of Mary’s. This implicated Elizabeth.

Both revolve around unexpected acts of kindness which place the harsh worlds of these schools into stark contrast.South Downs is set at Lancing College in Sussex where a sharp young pupil (a role reprised by young actor Alex Lawther, celebrated for this professional debut) is cut off from the rest of the school by virtue of his own intellect, background and questioning spirit.
