Elizabethan Espionage : Plotters and Spies in the Struggle Between Catholicism and the Crown

Patrick H. Martin (Author)
"In the wake of the 1588 destruction of the Spanish Armada, English Catholics launched an ingenious counterespionage effort to undermine the Tudor government's anti-Catholic machinations. Queen Elizabeth long maintained spies and provocateurs among English Catholic exiles. Walsingham, her principal secretary, used treachery to foster plots against the queen to justify harsh measures against Catholics"-- Provided by publisher
