On this day in Tudor history, 16th October 1594, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, Cardinal William Allen died in exile in Rome. To English Catholics, he was the shepherd who kept the old faith alive by founding colleges abroad that sent missionary priests back to England. To Elizabeth I's government, he was a traitor who conspired with England's enemies. Allen even supported a Spanish invasion in 1588, the Spanish Armada, and readied himself to return to England when Elizabeth was deposed, seeing the queen as a heretic and usurper. Find out more about him and decide for yourself whether he was a man of faith, a traitor, or both.
