The Banker Who Tried to Overthrow Queen Elizabeth I

The Banker Who Tried to Overthrow Queen Elizabeth I

The Ridolfi Plot Explained He wasn’t a soldier, a spy, or a nobleman, but a Florentine banker who nearly toppled a queen. In 1571, Roberto di Ridolfi masterminded one of the boldest conspiracies of Elizabeth I’s reign, a plan backed by the Pope, Philip II of Spain, and Mary, Queen of Scots. His goal? To invade England, overthrow Elizabeth, and restore Catholic rule, all funded through secret banking channels. But one intercepted letter at Dover changed everything. Join me, historian Claire Ridgway, for the true story of The Ridolfi Plot, a tale of spies, Spanish gold, and the banker who talked too much. #ElizabethI #TudorHistory #RidolfiPlot #MaryQueenOfScots #TudorConspiracies
