Résumé
Agents of the Realm: The Birth of British Intelligence (Tudor to Hanoverian)Volume VI of The Crown and the Cross: England's War Against RomeFrom the shadows of Tudor court intrigue to the battlefields of religious espionage, Agents of the Realm uncovers the forgotten origins of British intelligence. Spanning the reigns of Henry VIII to George I, this gripping historical investigation reveals how England's war against Rome birthed not only a Protestant nation, but an enduring surveillance state.
Dive into the hidden world of cipher-breakers, informants, Jesuit hunters, and royal spies. Discover how Sir Francis Walsingham's web of agents saved Elizabeth I from assassination, how counterplots were used to justify executions, and how religious nonconformity was mapped, monitored, and suppressed. This volume traces the evolution of espionage from personal loyalty to bureaucratic machinery-and from theological warfare to imperial practice.
Highlights include: The Babington Plot and the first great codebreaking triumph Surveillance of recusant Catholics and the creation of local informant networks Religious espionage during the Gunpowder Plot and Essex Rebellion The intelligence war against Jesuit missions and underground seminaries The rise of proto-MI5/MI6 institutions during the Hanoverian transition The ideological fusion of Protestantism, divine monarchy, and national security Meticulously researched and provocatively written, Agents of the Realm challenges the romantic myths of British intelligence by revealing its true theological and political foundations.
This is not just a history of spies-it is the story of how religion, surveillance, and power became inseparable in the making of the modern British state. Perfect for readers of historical nonfiction, religious history, espionage studies, and fans of Tudor and Stuart intrigue.
