Answer 2

Unpleasant memories of "Bloody" Mary, who had burned Protestants at the stake, remained.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the reasons why Protestants in England were afraid of allowing a Catholic king to rule was because of the memories that they had of "Bloody" Mary. This was Mary I, or Mary Tudor. She had a pivotal role in the attempt to reverse the English Reformation. She was a devout Catholic, and believed the Reformation to be against her ideals and beliefs. She had over 280 religious dissenters burn at the stake. However, her reforms were undone after she was succeeded by Elizabeth I.
