Henry Babington of Dethick in See also:Derbyshire, and of See also:Mary, daughter of See also:George, See also:Lord See also:Darcy, was See also:born in See also:October 1561, and was brought up secretly a See also:Roman See also:Catholic. As a youth he served at See also:Sheffield as See also:page to Mary See also:queen of Scots, for See also:thorn he See also:early See also:felt an ardent devotion. In 1580 he came to See also:London, attended the See also:court of See also:Elizabeth, and joined the See also:secret society formed that See also:year supporting the Jesuit missionaries. In 1582 after the See also:execution of See also:Father See also:Campion he withdrew to Dethick, and attaining his See also:majority occupied himself for a See also:short See also:- TIME (0. Eng.

time with the management of his estates. Later he went abroad and became associated at See also:Paris with Mary's supporters who were planning her See also:release with the help of See also:Spain, and on his return he was entrusted with letters for her. In See also:April 1586 he became, with the See also:priest See also:John Ballard, See also:leader of a See also:plot to See also:murder Elizabeth and her ministers, and organize a See also:general Roman Catholic rising in See also:England and liberate Mary. The See also:conspiracy was regarded by See also:Mendoza, the See also:Spanish See also:ambassador, one of its See also:chief instigators, and also by See also:Walsingham, as the most dangerous of See also:recent years; it included, in its general purpose of destroying the See also:government, a large number of Roman Catholics, and had ramifications all over the See also:country.

Philip II. of Spain, who ardently desired the success of an enterprise " so See also:Christian, just and advantageous to the See also:holy Catholic faith," 1 promised to assist with an expedition directly the assassination of the queen was effected. Eabington's conduct was marked by open folly and vanity. Desirous of some token of appreciation from Mary for his services, he entered into a See also:long See also:correspondence with her, which was intercepted by the spies of Walsingham. On the 4th of See also:August Ballard was seized and betrayed his comrades, probably under See also:torture. Babington then applied for a See also:passport abroad, for the ostensible purpose of spying upon the refugees, but in reality to organize the See also:foreign expedition and secure his own safety. The passport being delayed, he offered to reveal to Walsingham a dangerous conspiracy, but the latter sent no reply, and meanwhile the ports were closed and none allowed to leave the See also:kingdom for some days. He was still allowed his See also:liberty, but one See also:night while supping with Walsingham's servant he observed a memorandum of the See also:minister's concerning himself, fled to St John's See also:Wood, where he was joined by some of his companions, and after disguising himself succeeded in reaching See also:Harrow, where he was sheltered by a recent convert to Romanism. Towards the end of August he was discovered and imprisoned in the See also:Tower. On the 13th and 14th of See also:September he was tried with Ballard and five others by a See also:special See also:commission, when he confessed his See also:guilt, but strove to See also:place all the blame upon Ballard. All were condemned to See also:death for high See also:treason. On the 19th he wrote to Elizabeth praying for See also:mercy, and the same See also:day offered fI000 for procuring his See also:pardon; and on the loth, having disclosed the See also:cipher used in the correspondence between himself and Mary, he was executed
