James Beaton

James Beaton appears in 694. Elizabeth I vs The Catholics: A Treacherous Conspiracy (Part 4) as Mary, Queen of Scots’ representative at the June 1583 Paris meeting behind the Throckmorton Plot. The episode groups him with Henry, Duke of Guise, William Allen, the papal nuncio, and other Catholic figures involved in invasion planning.

Beaton’s role is source-scoped and diplomatic. He matters because Mary’s claimant network extended beyond her English captivity into continental Catholic planning, making Confessional Invasion Conspiracy more than a purely domestic English fear.
