1570: Excommunication Threat to Elizabeth Not a threat to Elizabeth
This absolved Elizabeth’s catholic subjects from obedience to her The excommunication did induce a significant element on fear into the minds of Elizabeth and her Privy Council (Act against Bringing in and Executing Papal Bulls and Treason Act) John Guy: created a logic whereby Protestants were loyalists and Catholics were traitors Pope Pius V failed to gain support from Phillip II There were no arrangements for the bull to be published in England KNOW Key chronology of MQoS’s life ANALYSE The threats Elizabeth faced in the years EVALUATE How far MQoS was a threat to Elizabeth

1571: Ridolfi Plot Threat to Elizabeth Not a threat to Elizabeth
Plan was to secure the landing of Spanish troops in Essex (foreign support). Plan was to replace Elizabeth with Mary Queen of Scots Elizabeth agreed to execute Norfolk (there is a link here to government, with Burghley using MP’s to pressure Elizabeth!) One of Ridolfi’s messengers was apprehended at Dover and cracked under torture. The plot relied on the support of Phillip and the Duke of Alba.

1583: Throckmorton Plot Threat to Elizabeth Not a threat to Elizabeth

Plan: Spanish landing in Sussex was plausible (Bossy ‘fairly near thing) Outcomes: one execution, Mendoza (Spanish ambassador) expelled and Arundel is permanently imprisoned in the tower. Bossy: the threat seriously threatened Elizabeth’s regime (Bond of Association; undermined Anglo-Spanish relations; MQoS moved to a more secure quarters).

1585: Parry Plot Threat to Elizabeth Not a threat to Elizabeth

Fuelled anti-Catholic paranoia of Burghley and other members of the Privy Council Parry was employed by Burghley as a spy – was it that Burghley and Walsingham wanted rid of him? Allowed Burghley and his business managers in Parliament to ensure Parliamentary proceedings on the bill for the Queen’s safety were accelerated.

1587: Execution of Mary Queen of Scots
Elizabeth no longer had any need to MQoS to be alive (bought of James VI with a pension at the Treaty of Berwick) But she was reluctant to execute an anointed Monarch It was decided that Mary should face a trial at Fotheringay Castle Mary was tried by a commission of at least 24 Privy Councillors and nobles Mary initially refused to cooperate, saying they had no jurisdiction over an anointed monarch Several days later Mary gave in, knowing it would damage reputation The commission decided MQoS was guilty, but Elizabeth took 4 months to decide 4th December the death sentence was announced formally, but Elizabeth refused to sign the warrant until February 1st. Elizabeth gives contradictory order on whether to seal the warrant, so the Privy Council despatch the warrant with the intention of telling Elizabeth after her execution… 8th February Mary was executed… – 1.26 (end where Mary’s life is called ‘pathetic’…) KNOW Key chronology of MQoS’s life ANALYSE The threats Elizabeth faced in the years EVALUATE How far MQoS was a threat to Elizabeth
