"and amazingly a cache of her letters were found as recently as 2024 in the Ribatech national de France and they show conclusively the Mary Queen of Scots you know is not a passive bystander in this you know she's not just a cipher being used by geese for his own interests She was actually an active conspirator in this plot."
Discussing the Throckmorton Plot, the hosts say a cache of Mary, Queen of Scots’ letters was found in 2024 at the Bibliothèque nationale de France. They argue the letters show she was an active participant, not merely a figurehead exploited by the Guise faction.
