Bye plot

The Oxford Companion to British History | 2002 | | Copyright

Bye plot, 1603. James VI and I, plagued by plots in Scotland, was confronted by fresh ones as soon as he arrived in his new kingdom. The Bye plot was a hare-brained scheme, hatched by William Watson, a catholic priest, to seize the king at Greenwich and force him to grant a general toleration. It fizzled out, but the subsequent investigations led to the Main plot, which brought down Lord Cobham, Cecil's brother-in-law, and Ralegh.
