- - - - Historian stephen Alford whose interpretation Focuses on the key role walsingham had to play in crushing of the plot. Alford states that “Walsingham and his men spared no effort to get to the root of one of the most pernicious conspiracies ever engineered against Queen Elizabeth”
        
        Second interpretation John guy "Walsingham would be forever haunted by the fact that he stumbled upon the plot by accident.
  - - - Antonia Fraser whose interpretation focuses on the use of the Throckmorton plot to initially build criticism to mary, which would then later be used in the aftermath of the babington plot in the years to come
- - - - The proposed settlement was roundly rejected and adulterated by the House of Lords, with its Catholic majority.
        Elizabeth and her pro-reform ministers had to regroup and plan another strategy. A debate was scheduled during the Easter recess between a team of Catholics and a team of Protestants, with the Privy Council as judge and Bacon as Chairman. The debate quickly descended into name-calling and two of the Catholics were sent to the Tower for contempt.
      - after the religious settlement, there was not religious peace, infact it was the opposite,
  - - - ‘to unite the people of this realm into a uniform order of religion'.
  - - - the majority of elizibeths religious settlement, with the act of uniformity, act of supremacy and injunctions where passed before 1560
        
        However religious problems continued throught elizibeths reign, she failed to reform the country and have them agree on the religion she laid out.
        
        a example of this is the babington plot, almost 30 years after the settlement
        
        We... will undertake the delivery of your royal persons from the hands of your enemies... For the dispatch of the usurper (Elizabeth)... six noble gentlemen, who, for the zeal they have to the Catholic cause... will undertake that tragical execution.

- - - - Another serious conspiracy against the Queen was brewing in the north of England, prompted by local feuds, resentment of royal interference in the region, a desire to restore the old faith as the official religion of the state, resentment of Cecil and other Protestant councillors, and - above all - anger at the Queen’s failure to settle the succession upon the Queen of Scots”
    - - ”He is a rare bird that, by one means or another, hath not some of his with the two Earls, or in his heart wisheth not well to the cause they pretend” earl of sussex - on the worry that his men would defect to the rebels if given the chance.
      - Rebellion involved approximately 5500 men.
      - Largest rebellion elizabeth faced
  - - - Elizabeth and Cecil therefore seized their opportunity to subdue the north and enforce compliance, acting with a degree of severity that reflected their sense of insecurity in the region”
    - - The poet Basil Bunting saw the brutal repression of the 1569 Rising as one of a series of disasters that had been inflicted on the North by the South. At the time of his death in 1580, Bunting was working on an epic poem about the Rising and its aftermath. Only fragments exist:
        Wind sakes a blotch of sun,
        flatter and tattle willow and oak alike
        sly as a trout’s shadow on gravel.
        Light stots from stone, sets ridge and kerf quick
        as shot skims from steel. Men of the north
        ‘subject to being beheaded and cannot avoid it
      - Even by the standards of the time, Elizabeth exacted savage revenge on the North. Literally, the rebels were decimated: over 600 were executed, and their heads placed on spikes across the region. The southern army looted the region. Rebel lands and property, such as the Neville’s Brancepeth Castle, were forfeited to the Crown and used to reward loyalists. The Tudor state aimed to eliminate any potential Northern threat, by promoting rising gentry such as Forster, and extinguishing the region’s distinctive feudal society.
