Extract

For students of recusant history the main interest of William Fleetwood lies in the fact that a study of his career enables us to see the problem of Catholicism in Elizabethan England from the point of view of those who sought to crush it. For he was one of the most active of the officials engaged in hunting down Catholics in Elizabethan London.
