The Ridolfi Plot was a plan to assassinate Queen Elizabeth I and replace her with Mary, Queen of Scots in 1571. What repercussions would this have?
What would remain of English Catholics is going to know an huge wave of persecution, but again, I can see a large popular movement in favor of this.
I suspect the remaining English catholics would be wiped out in an anti-catholic pogrom
Yeah gotta agree with you there. Well maybe not all Catholics (they were still a fairly large minority, like 10 to 20% during the late 16th and early 17th centuries) but the vast majority would either die, convert or flee to the continent.
