Notes about Charles PAGET

Charles Paget (c. 1546– 1612) was a Roman Catholic conspirator, involved in the Babington plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth I of England.

He was also a double agent working for Sir Francis Walsingham.[3]

In 1586, Mary, Queen of Scots, was accused by the British Government of having received and written letters about a plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth. Paget, was named in Mary's trial as one of the correspondents, and a letter to him dated 17 July 1586 formed part of the evidence at her trial. Queen Elizabeth demanded Paget's extradition from France, and threatened to have him assassinated if he remained.

Early in 1588, Paget moved to Brussels, where he remained for the next eleven years, until 1603, when he returned to Paris after the death of Queen Elizabeth. He was able to recover both his manor at Weston-on-Trent and a pension from King James. He died at the beginning of February 1612,[1] leaving his lands to the sons of one of his sisters, the Roper family.[4] It was Anthony Roper who built the hall at Weston.
