Cap.t William Bedloe
Cap.t William Bedloe Discoverer of the Popish Plott.
[Anon., c.1681]
Engraving, rich impression. Sheet 225 x 150mm (9 x 6'').
William Bedloe (1650-80), informer and adventurer. In the 1670s Bedloe fell into a life of crime in London, spending time in jail for fraud and at one point fleeing for the continent with his brother. There they stole horses and committed fraud, going by different disguises and identities. In Valladolid they met Titus Oates (and stole from him too), but back in England Bedloe came into the public eye following the death of Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey. Godfrey died in mysterious circumstances soon after receiving testimony from Oates about a supposed 'Popish Plot' to assassinate Charles II, and Bedloe claimed he knew how Godfrey had died. Bedloe appeared at a number of trials relating to the plot, giving evidence that led to the deaths of a number of innocent people. An opportunist, Bedloe exploited the hysteria and gullibility surrounding the fabricated plot, earning well from his 'evidence', while his early death meant he was spared the retribution which Oates and others received once the smoke cleared.
