jan 1, 1580 - Jesuits Arrive

Description:

The Jesuits were a catholic religious group who were sent to England as educators to try and turn some of the more powerful families against Elizabeth by indoctrinating them with their faith.
Edmund Campion was the most notable, holding services in the homes of catholic families and using disguises and priest holes (specially constructed by the families) but he was caught and executed within the year.
