- Filling in the blanks: Catholic hopes for the English succession Victor Houliston Lengua y Literatura Mornay Jesuits chivalry recusancy Robert Persons English Catholics, both at horne and abroad, were faced with difficult choices as the question of the succession became increasingly acute in the last decade of Elizabeth's reign. In an attempt to analyse the complexity of Catholic expectations and manoeuvres, this article examines the actions and writings of three prominent figures: the courtier-poet and recent convert Henry Constable, the Jesuit leader Robert Persons, and the ¡ayman Sir Thomas Tresham. Their relations with King James VI of Scotland illustrate the precariousness of his position, and their interactions during this period of shifting allegiances call into question sorne received assumptions about the divisions within the English Catholic community. Close attention to their writing also reveals the significance of an appeal to a chivalric code of honour in these politico-religious negotiations. 2015 artículo científico 1135-7789 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=333543052005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3335 SEDERI Yearbook application/pdf Spanish and Portuguese Society for English Renaissance Studies SEDERI Yearbook (España) Num.25
