 | | He was arrested in the town of Lyford by English authorities, with the assistance of a paid informant, in July 1581, and conveyed to the Tower of London [5]. |
 | | William Cecil (Lord Burghley) and First Secretary Sir Francis Walsingham, Burghley's spymaster, also sought to taint Campion with the brush of treason by maintaining that the primary goal of his mission was to incite the English to rebel against Queen Elizabeth and replace her with Mary, Queen of Scots. |
 | | The name "Persons," sometimes rendered as "Parsons" in writings of the day, was pronounced with something of a Irish lilt, the first syllable rhyming with "fair." According to Simpson (387), "Pearsons" might well stand as a modern rendering of the name. |
