Which staunch Puritan and principal secretary of Queen Elizabeth I uncovered a conspiracy against the queen involving Mary, Queen of Scots? Correct Answer Francis Walsingham

Francis Walsingham was an English statesman and the principal secretary to Queen Elizabeth I from 1573 to 1590. In addition, he was a staunch Puritan who uncovered a number of dangerous Roman Catholic conspiracies against the queen. He detected Francis Throckmorton’s plot (involving France and Spain) to free Elizabeth’s prisoner, the Catholic Mary Stuart (Mary, Queen of Scots). In exposing the Babington plot three years later, he found a letter from Mary to Anthony Babington giving full support to a plan for the murder of Elizabeth. As a result, Mary was executed in February 1587, a course of action that Walsingham had advocated.
