Sir Francis Walsingham - Secretary of State and Spymaster General for Elizabeth !. Sir Francis via his network of spies intercepted letters to Mary, Queen of Scots. Sir Francis decoded the plotters' letters to Mary, even forging one, so the plotters revealed their identities and of course, Mary. An early form of encryption was used but cracked by the Walsingham team. Walsingham was one of the names of the companies owned by Christopher Steele along with his employers - Hakluyt - another Elizabethan figure of importance, Richard Hakluyt wrote about the ' Discoveries of America " in 1582. The clues are everywhere.
