This is a bit misguided due to historical facts. You may be thinking of the ( Battles) of the Spanish Armada- which was largely wrecked due to storms and not battle action- this was l558, shortly after the death ( natural causes, and in church!) Of Mary Tudor of England and the accession of Elizabeth Tudor- or Elizabeth I. The Spanish aimed at essentially seizing England by armed force- and conceivably assasinating Elizabeth or at least taking her prisoner. now Mary, Queen of Scots was executed in l587, almost 20 years after the failed Spanish invasion. a little far fetched. there may have been anti-Elizabethan plots hatched- at various times including Lord Essex.- but, not at this particular juncture in history. remember telecommunications ( even telegraphy) were centuries in the future. It would have been difficult to command and control spies or counter-terrorism personnel on this regard. also-it was and is considered bad form to murder a Lady, especially a sovereign Queen! asssasination attempts, yes, but none verified- Elizabeth lived until 3.25.03 (l603)/

Mary Queen of Scots was under house arrest for many years and received numerous letters asking her to authorize plots.

All she tried to gain was her freedom.
