#Anthony babington

[thedudleywomen]

ON THIS DAY - 14 October 1586

On This Day (14 Oct) in 1586, the trial of Mary, Queen of Scots began at Fotheringhay Castle, Northamptonshire: she had been charged with plotting the assassination of Elizabeth I.

Mary had been arrested on 11 Aug 1586 whilst being held prisoner at Chartley Manor, Staffordshire; she had been held there since Dec 1585, the residence of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex. From here she was transported to nearby Tixall House, before finally being moved to Fotheringhay on 25 Sep 1586.

It was whilst at Chartley that Mary corresponded with Anthony Babington, a Catholic and long-time supporter of hers; letters were written in cypher and transported in and out of the house in beer barrels. Babington was the head of the eponymous 'Babington Plot' - a conspiracy to assassinate Elizabeth and place the Catholic Mary on the English throne. However, Elizabeth's Secretary of State and 'spymaster' Sir Francis Walsingham was able to intercept these letters, leading the arrest of Babington, his co-conspirators and eventually Mary. It was these letters that were used as evidence against Mary, and led to her being tried on charges of high treason.

Mary's trial was held in the Great Hall at Fotheringhay - an 'examination' of the evidence by a panel of English nobles, under the 'Act of Association'. Being found guilty under this act would lead to Mary being stripped of her claim to the English throne, and lawfully being put to death. She appeared in person at 9 o'clock in the morning, in front of crown representatives and noblemen, including William Cecil, Baron Burghley (Elizabeth's Lord High Treasurer) Walsingham and George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury, under whose custody she had been held for 15 years. She wore her favoured garments of her captive years: a black velvet dress and mantle, with white headdress (with widows peak) and veil.

Mary denied the charges put to her, as well as arguing that she had been denied access to legal counsel. She continued to assert her authority as an anointed queen, and expected to be treated so. Correspondence between the two were passed around, in addition to Babington's deposition and signed confessions of two co-conspirators; Mary denied ever having met Anthony Babington, and accused Walsingham of inventing the cyphers and manufacturing the plot to implicate her. However, she confirmed that she continued to support Catholic interests in England, as well as abroad.

Elizabeth had ordered that no sentence be passed until all the evidence had been presented to herself, and following the conclusion of the trial on 15 Oct, the panel returned to London. Their findings were subsequently presented to Elizabeth on 25 Oct 1586 at the Star Chamber in London; Mary was found guilty of being "not only accessory and privy to the conspiracy, but also an imaginer and compass of her majesty's destruction" and a sentence of death was passed. However, Elizabeth continued to demonstrate ambiguity, requesting attempts to obtain a 'full confession' from the Scottish Queen, in an attempt to save her life, and void any retaliatory action from Mary's Catholic allies abroad.

October 14th 1586 saw the trial of Queen of Scots, begin at Fotheringhay Castle.

No matter what you think of our Scottish Queen, and whether she was guilty or not the trial was a sham and the verdict was decided long before Mary stood before them.

If you follow my posts, especially the ones that cover the Stewart’s then you will understand why Mary did not believe they had the power to try her, in her mind, and all the Stewarts before and after her, she had been anointed by god to reign. That was something holy and untouchable. There was no law in the land that could hold jurisdiction over her, the only judgement she was accountable to was God’s.

Mary was accused of plotting against Queen Elizabeth , as part of The Babington Plot, so called after Anthony Babington in one of the letters Babington wrote to Mary, he detailed plans of her rescue and asked her permission to kill the Queen. Mary’s reply agreed with the plans, but she did not authorize the assassination. When the letter passed to Walsingham, a postscript was added authorizing the assassination. Walsingham had all he needed to bring the conspiracy to light. Within days, Babington, Mary and the other conspirators were arrested.

The trial lasted two days, and Mary defended herself admirably though she had no friends or supporters present, essentially, the verdict had been decided before the proceedings had begun. She admitted her desire to escape but stated, ‘I have not procured or encouraged any hurt against Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth.’ And she appealed for mercy, mentioning her own reputation for tolerance and kindness: ‘My subjects now complain they were never so well off as under my government.’ But she also accepted the inevitable, telling the assembled nobles, ‘May God keep me from having to do with you all again.’ When the verdict was read to her, she said, ‘I do not fear to die in a good cause.’

It would be almost four months before Elizabeth signed her death warrant, although in a letter to Mary’s son James VI, that she had been tricked into putting her signature to the document…..“…. to instruct you truly of that which is too irksome for my pen to tell you. I beseech you that as God and many more know, how innocent I am in this case : so you will believe me, that if I had bid aught I would have bid by it.”

The warrant was signed on February 1st 1587, on the night of the 7th Mary was told she was to be executed the following morning, by The Earl of Kent, when she asked to see her chaplain but he denied her this, telling her: ‘Your life would be the death of our religion, your death would be its life.’ In fact, Mary had been a tolerant ruler in Scottish religious matters. But such was the extreme religious upheaval of the time, tolerance itself was a sign of weakness.

The Babington Plot Against Queen Elizabeth I

News of the Times Episode 299 | 1586 

It is 1587 and England is undergoing simmering tension within the country, and externally from international pressure. The Pope has ex-communicated Queen Elizabeth I and actively encourages true Catholics to remover her from the throne.  The figure head for the opposition is the imprisoned Mary Stuart, Queen of the Scots. This and other failed attempts to oust Queen Elizabeth leads to the infamous Babington Plot within England contrived in part by the potential assassin, Anthony Babington, who is, actually the unknowing puppet of Queen Elisabeth’s spymaster, 

Sir Francis Walsingham This story involves spies, counter-espionage, double agents, royalty and treachery leading to the execution of an anointed queen.  We take a whistlestop look at this complicated story.  The buildup, the players within this drama, the trap and the capture, that ultimately lead to Mary Stuart’s final doom. The Babington Plot against Queen Elizabeth I is today’s episode of Sinister Saturdays. 

Hosted by Robin Coles.    

[thedudleywomen]

ON THIS DAY - 20 Sep 1586 - The Babington Plot

On This Day (20 Sep) in 1586, Anthony Babington and 6 of his co-conspirators were executed, following their convictions for high treason.

Born into a Catholic gentry family in 1561, Babington was a long-time supporter of Mary, Queen of Scots claim to the English throne.

Mary had been under house arrest in England following her forced abdication from Scotland in 1567; since Dec 1585, she had been held at Chartley Manor, the Staffordshire residence belonging to Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, and rising star within the Elizabethan court.

It was during her imprisonment at Chartley that Babington corresponded with Mary, advising of his intent to assassinate Elizabeth I and place Mary on the throne, to which Mary gave her support. These letters were encrypted, using a cypher, and were moved in and out of Chartley in beer barrels.

Elizabeth's security forces, led by Sir Francis Walsingham, were made aware of this conspiracy, and infiltrated the conveyance of the letters, therefore providing evidence against both Babington (and his co-conspirators), as well as Mary.

On 20 Sep 1586, Babington and his co-conspirators were taken from the Tower of London, and paraded through the streets of London to St Giles' Field, where a scaffold had been erected. There, the men were hung, drawn and quartered, with their body parts later distributed across London as warnings to others.

Mary was subsequently arrested in Aug 1586, whilst out riding; she was initially taken to Tixall Hall, Staffordshire, and later moved to Fotheringhay Castle, Northamptonshire. It was at Fotheringhay that she underwent her own trial, where she was found guilty of high treason, and sentenced to death; this was carried out on 08 Feb 1587.

[maximumphilosopheranchor]

Yesterday I learned that Bernardino de Mendoza had written a letter to Philip informing him about Anthony Babington’s plot plans and saying that he, Mendoza, advised the plotters to kill or seize William Cecil, Francis Walsingham, Lord Hunsdon (Henry Carey), Francis Knollys and Robert Beale.

Curiously Philip annotated this suggestion: “It does not matter so much about Cecil, although he is a great heretic, but he is very old, and it was he who advised the understandings with the prince of Parma, and he has done no harm. It would be advisable to do as he says with the others."

See the letter dated by 13 August 1586.

It’s strange that Philip believed that Cecil had done no harm because Cecil was one of the most ardent promoters of anti-Catholic measures in England and the main advocate of the execution of Mary Queen of Scots.

[scotianostra]

On August 11th 1586, Mary Queen of Scots was arrested near Chartley Manor, Staffordshire for her part in a plot to overthrow Queen Elizabeth.

Like it or not, with or without her full knowledge Mary was involved in plots to remove Elizabeth as Queen of England, and place her on the throne. When Mary was displaced by rebellious nobles and fled south to England, she was imprisoned rather than hospitably received by her English cousin.

Unsurprisingly, this treatment and her strong and public faith made her a rallying point for various plots against Elizabeth during her 19-year imprisonment.

The most serious were the Ridolfi plot of 1571 – which threatened to replace the Queen with Mary with the help of Spanish troops, and the Throckmorton Plot of 1583, another plan to murder and replace Elizabeth.

By the mid 1580s it was clear that as long as Mary lived Catholics and Spanish-sympathisers would flock to her, and after her agent Thomas Morgan was implicated in yet another assassination attempt, The Babington Plot, in 1585, Elizabeth was persuaded by her advisers to put Mary on trial.

The Babington plot still baffles historians to this day, what we do know is from the start Elizabeth's spies had known about it, a certain Francis Walsingham principal secretary to Queen Elizabeth was intercepting letters, forging Mary's writing and substituting his own, and so basically orchestrated the whole thing.

Confidant of Mary, the Welsh catholic, Thomas Morgan recruited, among others Anthony Babington, what was happening, basically letters written by Walsingham, pretending to be Mary, encouraged an assassination of Elizabeth. It's all quite complicated, and everyone, who was anyone who has written about Mary and Elizabeth, has their own opinion on it. Me, Mary was writing to the main protagonists so was not faultless, but her level of complicity in these plots is still unclear, Mary was arrested while out riding in August 1586. She was put on trial in October and found guilty, on the 7th February, she was informed that she was to be executed the next morning.

She met her death with exemplary courage and publically forgave her executioners before being beheaded with three messy blows of an axe. Elizabeth then claimed that she had not authorised this, washing her hands of the death of her kinswoman.

Book Review - 'The Watchers: A Secret History of the Reign of Elizabeth I' by Stephen Alford

Book Review – ‘The Watchers: A Secret History of the Reign of Elizabeth I’ by Stephen Alford

This was a very intriguing read largely regarding the secret network of spies and informants built up around Elizabeth I, with William Cecil, Baron Burghley, Sir Francis Walsingham, and Sir Robert Cecil at its heart. It explores in detail the Throckmorton Plot of 1583 and the Babington Plot of 1586 where the use of spies and ciphers really came into their own. It was well-written and clearly a…

‘Elizabeth: The Golden Age’ - Eddie’s costume

At the 80th Academy Awards Alexandra Byrne won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design. Cate Blanchett had over 50 costume changes. (Wikipedia) In contrast, Eddie wore (or not) the same multi-layered clothes in all of his scenes. The only difference on the first picture is the collar.
