94:, titular Queen of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, who sent him funds to overthrow John III through the Netherlands and her messenger Monsieur La Garde. This time, the plan appears to have been to depose John III in favor of Eric XIV: in any event, the plan was to free Eric from his imprisonment. According to another version, it was Duke Charles that was to be placed upon the throne. Duke Charles appears to have been informed of at least part of the plot. Charles de Mornay, who had previously been the favorite of Eric XIV, promised Duke Charles that he knew the location of Eric's alleged hidden gold reserve, which he would reveal after the coup in exchange for better conditions for Eric in prison. Among the known conspirators were Eric's French gardener
170:
France, which was officially suggested in 1574, could have been informally suggested through
Charles already the year before, and that the French ambassador had expressed himself impressed by everything regarding Elizabeth with the exception of her dowry. It seems that John III suspected Cecilia to have prepared a rebellion against him: in 1573, he gave an order that Cecilia was not to be allowed in the Stockholm Castle during his absence, and in 1574, after the plot had been exposed, he gave orders to the governors in Östergötland to keep Cecilia under watch and not to let her have access to any royal castle.
113:, the commanders of the Scottish mercenary troops which arrived in Sweden in June 1573. In September 1573, the Scottish mercenary troops arrived in Stockholm. However, the plot did not materialize as de Mornay lost his nerve and never gave the sign to the mercenaries to take action. In October, the Scottish mercenary captain Hugh Cahun informed the king about the plot, but the accused denied all accusations, and
174:
was silenced by order of the king. Duke
Charles applied for mercy for Charles de Mornay on behalf of the noblemen Erik and Johan Sparre, nephews of Mornay's Swedish wife Anna Trolle, but without success. Mornay was executed in Stockholm 4 September 1574. Archibald Ruthwen and Gilbert Balfour were also executed.
173:
On 29 August, Charles de Mornay was sentenced guilty as charged for treason against king John III as well as having caused the execution of the innocent Hugh Cahun. Duke
Charles was, if not an active participant so at least aware of the plot without trying to prevent it – but his part in the affair
169:
Charles de Mornay also revealed, that one of the things which were agreed upon by the conspirators was to raise the dowry of
Elizabeth from 100,000 to 150,000, so to make it possible for her to make a marriage of higher status. It is noted, that the marriage between Elizabeth and Henry III of

is confirmed to have been Dançay's agent in Sweden in this issue. Charles de Mornay, a French
Protestant Huguenot in service of the Swedish king, was a relative of Charles de Dançay. When Henry was elected king of Poland in June 1573, the plot of having him enthroned in Sweden was discontinued.
146:
Mornay was put on trial in
Stockholm on 11 August. The trial was highly sensitive because it implicated a number of people of power, such as the king's brother Duke Charles as well as foreign people of power. Duke Charles was not summoned but left a written testimony implicating Mornay without

Charles. In August 1574, Charles de Mornay was arrested when trying to escape Sweden by ship from

English servant Sigfrid Preston, and the testimonies of the Scottish mercenaries, notably that of Gilbert Balfour. Charles de Mornay admitted his guilt.

Scottish and German mercenaries in Swedish service in Estonia. Under interrogation, the plot was exposed. Gilbert Balfour described the negotiations of Charles de Mornay, and
