Oxford, which he entered in 1572. In 1576 he was enrolled in the Inner See also:Temple. At Oxford he had come under the See also:influence of the Roman Catholics, whose See also:power was still See also:great in the university, and must have heard of See also:Edmund Campian (q.v.) who had See also:left shortly before he him-self entered the university. When Campian and See also:Parsons came to See also:England in 1580 to conduct the Jesuit propaganda against Queen Elizabeth, Francis Throckmorton was one of a society of members of the Inner Temple who See also:united to hide and help them. In that See also:year he went abroad, first to join his See also:brother See also:- THOMAS

Thomas, who was engaged with the exiled Roman Catholics in See also:Paris, and then to travel in See also:Italy and See also:Spain. While abroad he consorted with exiled papists, and was undoubtedly engaged in treasonable intrigues. In 1583 he returned to See also:act as the confidential See also:agent of an elaborate See also:conspiracy which had for its See also:object the invasion of England by a See also:French force under command of the See also:duke of See also:Guise, or by Spaniards and Italians sent by See also:- PHILIP

Philip II. for the purpose of releasing the imprisoned Mary Queen of Scots and restoring the authority of the See also:pope. Throckmorton possessed, or occupied, a See also:house on See also:Paul's See also:wharf, See also:London, which served as a See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting-See also:place for the conspirators. Many plots were being carried on alongside of the chief one, and the suspicions of the government were aroused. Throckmorton's See also:constant visits to the See also:Spanish See also:ambassador, Bernardino de See also:Mendoza, attracted See also:attention, and he was arrested in See also:October 1583. He was ciphering a See also:letter to Queen Mary when the constables came upon him suddenly, but he found See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

- TIME, STANDARD
time to send a See also:casket of compromising papers by a trustworthy maidservant to Mendoza, and a card in See also:cipher in which he promised to reveal nothing. As he refused to confess when brought before the See also:council, he was put on the See also:rack in the See also:Tower. He resisted a first application of the See also:torture, but his strength and courage failed when he was threatened with a second, and he made a full See also:confession. At a later See also:period he retracted and asserted that his avowals were false and had been extorted from him by See also:pain, or had been put in his mouth by the examiners. His confession agreed, however, fully with what is known from other See also:sources of the See also:plot, and there can be no doubt that when his house was searched the constables found lists of his confederates, plans of harbours meant for use by See also:foreign invaders, See also:treatises in See also:defence of the See also:title of the Queen of Scots to the See also:throne of England, and " infamous libels on Queen Elizabeth printed beyond seas." His trial, which in the circumstances was a See also:mere formality, took place on the 21st of May 1584, and he was executed at See also:Tyburn on the loth of See also:July. The See also:arrest and confession of Throckmorton were events of great importance. They terrified the conspirators, who fled abroad in large See also:numbers, and led to the See also:expulsion of the Spanish ambassador and so to See also:war with Spain.
