In November 1583 Francis Throckmorton was arrested for his part in plotting a Spanish invasion of England combined with a Catholic rebellion at home; he was executed at Tyburn on 10 July 1584. Following the arrest, his fellow conspirators Charles Arundel and Thomas Paget, fearing for their safety, escaped to France from Sussex. This article examines the role played in these events by Christopher Haynes, customer of Arundel, and discusses his activities in the town since becoming a burgess in 1557.
