Queen Elizabeth I and England�s First Spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham�s official title was principal secretary to Queen Elizabeth I, but in fact this pious, tight-lipped Puritan was England�s first spymaster. A ruthless, fiercely loyal civil servant, Walsingham worked brilliantly behind the scenes to foil Elizabeth�s rival Mary Queen of Scots and outwit Catholic Spain and France, which had arrayed their forces behind her. Though he cut an incongruous figure in Elizabeth�s worldly court, Walsingham managed to win the trust of key players like William Cecil and the Earl of Leicester before launching his own secret campaign against the queen�s enemies. Covert operations were Walsingham�s genius; he pioneered techniques for exploiting double agents, spreading disinformation, and deciphering codes with the latest code-breaking science that remain staples of international espionage.
