In 1586, William Stafford proposed one of the strangest assassination ideas of Elizabeth I’s reign: blowing up the queen’s bed while she slept, even though his own mother served in that room. This minicast unpacks the Stafford Plot, the French connection, and Walsingham’s likely role in turning the whole thing into an intelligence trap. A bizarre slice of Elizabethan espionage with very real political consequences.
