GUY FAWKES and his day: Cast Of Characters It is speculated by Francis Edwards, SJ that Tresham was allowed to leave the tower to escape to Spain where he became known as Matthew Brunninge. Francis continued with illegal Catholic activities and as a result felt the sting of enforcement of the law and was suffered the penalties of fines which impoverished his family. Tresham may have had a role in the betrayal of the plot as he had received favors from the government. www.geocities.com /MotorCity/Factory/8434/tresh.html   (340 words)

Profile of Francis Tresham Francis Tresham was the first son, and oldest of eleven children of Sir Thomas Tresham of Rushton, Northamptonshire and Muriel Throckmorton, daughter of Sir Robert Throckmorton of Coughton, Warwickshire. Francis Edwards, SJ, is one of several leading scholars who support the theory that Tresham did not perhaps die in the Tower, and was allowed to escape to Spain, where he travelled under the alias Matthew Brunninge[2]. The young Francis Tresham, deprived of parental control, grew up embittered by the treatment meted out to his father; a perpetual malcontent, with none of his father's constancy and forbearance, and so ready to join in any desperate scheme against the government. www.gunpowder-plot.org /people/ftresham.htm   (1878 words)

National Trust Lyveden New Bield Sir Thomas Tresham Tresham was knighted at the Queen's progress at Kenilworth in 1575 at the same time as Robert Cecil, future Earl of Salisbury and builder of Hatfield.

National Trust East Midlands News - Lyveden celebrates Angry at the way his father had been treated, Francis Tresham became embroiled in the Catholic Gunpowder Plot to avenge his father’s death and the finger of suspicion points to him as the author of a warning letter which was passed to James I exposing the plot. Francis was arrested but died in the Tower of London on 23 December 1605 before his trial. Had the plot that night been successful and Francis escaped unpunished, he might have carried on his father's work and Lyveden may have been completed, only to be later demolished or greatly altered from the original design. www.nationaltrust.org.uk /main/cymraeg/w-global/w-localtoyou/w-east_midlands/w-east_midlands-news/w-east_midlands-news-lyveden.htm   (256 words)

The Treshams of Canada are really Chapmans Francis Tresham, as eldest son, had fallen heir to Rushton Hall, the family estate, upon the death of his father only three months earlier. Indeed Alfred’s eldest daughter, Ella Agnes (Tresham) Manewell (1893-1971), my maternal grandmother, maintained that her father was directly descended from the notorious Francis Tresham, a conspirator in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Ella’s sisters, Ada Blanche (Tresham) Baker and Margaret Grace (Tresham) Hobday, were convinced of the Rushton origins of their lineage though neither could have known the precise nature of the connection. familytreemaker.genealogy.com /users/l/o/r/John-B-Lord/FILE/0001page.html   (1646 words)

It is believed that Francis Tresham, who sent the warning note to his brother-in-law, may have been working for Cecil.

Guy Fawkes Night: The Co-Conspirators Tresham, an unstable character, was infamous for his reckless spending of money and extravagant lifestyle...the former probably being the reason for his enlistment into the plot in October of 1605 by his counsin, Catesby. Tresham was in no hurry to leave London after the arrest of Guy Fawkes and it has been suggested that he may have taken the opportunity to have offered his services to the government. However, since Tresham's father had died intestate and in debt, he was soon unable to fund the project any further and was also very concerned for the salvation of his two brothers-in-law, Lord Mounteagle and Lord Stourton, which made Tresham the prime suspect as author of the warning letter. www.novareinna.com /festive/consp.html   (5967 words)

On the arrest of Fawkes the other conspirators, except Tresham, fled in parties by different ways, rejoining each other in Warwickshire, as had been agreed in case the plot had been successful. The success with which the conspirators concealed their plot from Salisburys spies is indeed astonishing, but is probably explained by its very audacity and by the absence of incriminating correspondence, the medium through which the minister chiefly obtained his knowledge of the plans of his enemies. 4.1911encyclopedia.org /G/GU/GUNPOWDER_PLOT.htm   (2450 words)

Guy Fawkes attempt It is interesting to note that Monteagle was the brother in law of Francis Tresham. Tresham denied any involvement, although it remains a point of contention over who did send the letter, and he has to be a prime suspect.

"A Very Good Year" by Bruce Shelley Francis had asked me whether the game was salvageable and at the end of my November letter I replied yes, but added that changes would have to be made to make the game fun and interesting to enough people in Baltimore to convince myself and management. Francis wanted to intentionally do something different from 1829 (he did not consider his second version of 1829 as successful as the first), and he wanted to capture some of the wide open free-for-all entrepreneurship that embodied the building of American railroads. Francis later felt even the double face value limit was too high, but we were happy with it and got our way. www.westpark-gamers.de /1830dev.html   (10558 words)

The Depot: 1825: Review According to Francis, this is the South East of England, a pronouncement that will come as something of a shock to the inhabitants of Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Wolverhampton, Leicester and Norwich. Since the reviews were hostile, I sent copies to Francis so that he could have the opportunity to refute the criticisms. His final decision will be made as much on economic grounds as anything else and on this occasion, as with the bank, Francis has cut things fine. www.geocities.com /TimesSquare/Arena/5276/depot/1825r.htm   (1690 words)

Treason and Dischord - Programme Francis Tresham is somewhat loftily dismissed in posterity as a man of limited intelligence (one might think him sharper than those he betrayed - if indeed he did). The last of them was Mr Francis Tresham, a rich lord, of whom even his friends said that he cared more for his own welfare than the good of the Catholics.
