1 Jan 1587 Jahr - Plot to kill Elizabeth I and the execution of Mary QofS

Beschreibung:

Philip II hoped that his marriage to Mary Tudor would recatholicze Europe, but her death put an end to those plans. Another opportunity lied in Mary, Queen of Scots, Elizabeth's Catholic cousin. Elizabeth imprisoned her because she correctly believed she would be involved in plots to overthrow her. In 1587, Mary became involved in a plot to assassinate Elizabeth, a plan with Philip's backing. The English executed Mary, and Philip, with the pope's desire, retaliated with the Spanish Armada.
