Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk was beheaded in 1572 for conspiring to overthrow Queen Elizabeth I and replace her with Mary Queen of Scots (thereby restoring Catholicism as the official religion on England).
Howard appointed William Cantrell as trustee of his properties in an attempt to protect them from the Queen -- whom he obviously feared might seize them after his act of treason.

Alleged treason.
Excellent find!
