In Chapter 16, we learn that the conspirators plan to kill the Queen during Shakespeare's play. John Somers was ready to shoot the Queen in the midst of a preplanned Scene, in which, the sound of a cannon was set to roar, Somers was an excellent marksman, and the audience would believe that the noise was a part of the play. During the execution, " there was to be an uprising in the Northern counties. Simultaneously, a Spanish fleet was to cross the Bay of Biscayfrom Ferrol, and—not repeating the mistake of the Great Armada—make an immediate landing at Falmouth."
