Francis Walsingham Elizabeth's number one secret agent. Francis was principal secretary to Queen Elizabeth I of England from 20 December 1573 until his death and is popularly remembered as her "spymaster". Walsingham was indeed a top-class leader in the secret world of espionage and counterintelligence. He had managed to exploit weaknesses in others, in which he cast his net far and wide. Elizabeth trusted her top man!

One plot in which Francis triumphed was against Anthony Babington. He had written to Mary Queen of Scots, with views about the impending plot to kill Elizabeth. Mary replied, not only encouraging but sanctioning his efforts. The end was nigh, though, and Walsingham was way ahead of the game. He had all the conspirators rounded up, including Babington.

One of the greatest moments for Elizabeth came against Spain and the armada. Walsingham was once again at the forefront of much that was set in place to quell the enemy. England won and Elizabeth remained in power. It was a momentous time for Walsingham; his hard work had brought down plots, conspirators and countries all intent on bringing harm to England and its royalty.
