  2. #OTD in Tudor history, 23rd November 1598, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, a man named Edward Squire was hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn.

    The scrivener and sailor was executed for treason after being accused of plotting to poison Elizabeth I’s saddle and a chair used by her favourite, Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex.

    Edward Squire had ended up in Seville after being captured by Spaniards while on a voyage with Sir Francis Drake. There, it was alleged that he plotted against the queen and Essex with Jesuits. He confessed under torture but claimed his innocence at his trial and before he died.

    What happened and how did the Protestant Edward Squire end up being accused of conspiring with Jesuits against his queen?
