Enter a spy
The plots against Elizabeth failed largely because the attention if details of Francis Walsingham, the Queen's spymaster.
As a 16th century 007 he employed both in England and in Europe who fed back vital information for him.
Intelligencers were lesser fry who listened at keyhole and behind curtains, passing all sorts of useful gossip to their masters upstairs.
Walsingham's intelligence system was probably better than anything run by any other country at the time.
