Question
William Davison was locked up as a patsy for this event, which ends a book by Jenny Wormald presented as a “study in failure.” It’s not a military campaign, but this event is vividly recounted in the first chapter of Garrett Mattingly’s most popular book. Amias Paulet refused to carry out a less official alternative to this event. Before this event, its subject disrobed to reveal symbolically crimson undergarments. An oath called the Bond of Association was used to justify this event after evidence was obtained from (*) coded letters smuggled in beer barrels. This event took a gory turn when a man grabbed its subject’s red wig after a series of botched swings. This event took place at Fotheringhay Castle after its subject was tried for involvement in the Babington Plot. For 10 points, Philip II launched the Spanish Armada in response to what event in which a deposed Scottish monarch was beheaded? ■END■
