	Titus Oates Biography / Biography of Titus Oates Biography
		The English political religious demagogue Titus Oates (1649-1705) was the chief fabricator of the Popish Plot, a spurious plan of 1678 supposedly hatched by the Jesuits to assassinate King Charles II and to enthrone his Roman Catholic brother, James.
		Oates, feigning conversion to Roman Catholicism for the purpose of gathering evidence, attended two Jesuit missionary schools on the Continent, being quickly expelled from both.
		For 3 years, Oates, through the apparently Catholic-inspired murder of an associate, the inadvertent discovery of seditious letters, confessions wrung from intimidated witnesses, and the timidity of the king himself, was given plenary power by Parliament and had merely to accuse to convict.

	Titus Oates (1649 - 1705)
		Unfortunately Titus Oates’ wasn’t such a man. Born at Oakham (itself the venue for a well-known school), this son of ribbon-weaver was expelled from Merchant Taylor’s School in the 1660s.
		Next stop was for Titus and his father (another so-called religious type) to trump up a charge against the local schoolmaster, which resulted in the elder Oates losing his living and Titus getting charged with perjury and put in prison.
		Oates later got a pardon and a pension after James was booted off the throne with the full support of the Papacy; but his comeback tour of fabricating another plot flopped.

	A "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy", Restoration Style
		In August 1678 Titus Oates, an unemployed clergyman of dubious character and morals, disclosed to a mentally unbalanced colleague, the Rev. Israel Tonge, the existence of a large scale Roman Catholic conspiracy to assassinate King Charles II and set up a puppet government that would return Protestant England to the days of Bloody Mary.
		Oates had learned of this plot, he claimed, after converting to Catholicism the year before and spending a few months at a French seminary (from which he had been expelled for moral and intellectual deficiencies).
		Oates and the copycat informers who supplemented his fantasy with ever more lurid tales drew on a deep-seated fear of Catholics and Catholicism, heightened by the perception that Romanism was steadily gaining strength and enjoyed special favor at the royal court (where, indeed, the Queen and the King's brother, the Duke of York, were Catholics).

		Oates, who had been briefly a convert to Roman Catholicism, claimed that there was a Jesuit-guided plan to assassinate Charles II and to hasten the succession of the Catholic James, duke of York (later James II).
		The account was completely fabricated, and Oates, examined by the privy council, would perhaps have been immediately exposed had not treasonous letters from Edward Coleman, secretary of the duchess of York, to the French Jesuit, FranCois La Chaise, been discovered as a result of his accusations.
		The unexplained death of Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey, the judge to whom Tonge and Oates first told their story, was attributed without evidence to the Catholics, and three innocent men were hanged for it.

		English conspirator, the son of Samuel Oates, an Anabaptist preacher, chaplain to Pride, and afterwards rector of All Saints' Church, Hastings.

		Shortly before the death of Charles, James brought, and won, a civil action against Oates, with damages of £100,000; in default of payment Oates was taken to prison; while there he was indicted for perjury, and was tried in May 1685, soon after the accession of James II.

		Oates falsely claimed that there was a Catholic conspiracy to kill King Charles II, place James, his Catholic brother on the throne, massacre Protestants, and reinstitute Catholicism with the help of a French army.
		After the Titus Oates persecution (1679-80) the Welsh-speaking clergy were either executed or exiled, and the chill mists of Calvinism settled on Cambria's hills and vales.

		Oates, however, though he had proved himself an excellent actor, could not overcome his evil propensities, and before seven months had passed, he was expelled from the monastery.
		Following his advice, Oates was again received by the Jesuits, and sent to their famous seminary at St. Omer's; where, though he had reached the age of thirty years, he was entered among the junior students.
		Oates seldom appeared before the Commons without having fresh revelations to make; but the fertility of his imagination by no means weakened the strength of his evidence in the opinions of his hearers.

		Captain Titus Oates--an actual explorer who was lost in Antarctica in 1912--has become the world's first, and probably only, time traveler, chosen for an experiment to determine if time travel actually works precisely because his disappearance from his own time period would not affect the future.
		Titus is a young, upper class Englishman from Edwardian times, struggling to adapt to a high-tech future, and having difficulty conceiving of his place in it.
		She paints this picture well, giving us a Titus who probably needs a nursemaid to survive in New York City, but who is macho enough to resent it and to take off on his own despite the risks.

		Their story seemed more credible to an already credulous public when Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey, the London magistrate to whom Oates had confided his story, was found murdered on Primrose Hill and when, more by accident than design, a treasonable correspondence was discovered between Edward Coleman, secretary to the Duke of York, and Louis XIV.
		Titus Oates outlived almost everyone of note connected with the plot, and died in obscurity in 1705.
