'''Sir Francis Walsingham''' ({{circa}}&nbsp;1532&nbsp;– 6&nbsp;April 1590) was [[Secretary of State (England)|principal secretary]] to Queen [[Elizabeth I of England]] from 20 December 1573 until his death and is popularly remembered as her "[[spymaster]]".

Born to a well-connected family of gentry, Walsingham attended [[Cambridge University]] and travelled in continental Europe before embarking on a career in law at the age of twenty.

Walsingham rose from relative obscurity to become one of the small coterie who directed the [[Elizabethan era|Elizabethan]] state, overseeing foreign, domestic and religious policy. He served as [[List of ambassadors of the Kingdom of England to France|English ambassador to France]] in the early 1570s and witnessed the [[St. Bartholomew's Day massacre]]. As principal secretary, he supported exploration, colonization, the use of England's maritime strength and the [[plantation of Ireland]]. He worked to bring Scotland and England together. Overall, his foreign policy demonstrated a new understanding of the role of England as a maritime, Protestant power in an increasingly global economy. He oversaw operations that penetrated Spanish military preparation, gathered intelligence from across Europe, disrupted a range of plots against Elizabeth and secured the execution of [[Mary, Queen of Scots]].

Mary I died in 1558 and was succeeded by her Protestant half-sister [[Elizabeth I of England|Elizabeth I]]. Walsingham returned to England and through the support of one of his fellow former exiles, [[Francis Russell, 2nd Earl of Bedford]], he was elected to Elizabeth's first parliament as the member for [[Bossiney (UK Parliament constituency)|Bossiney, Cornwall]], in 1559<!--writs were sent in December 1558 and Parliament convened in January-->.<ref>Adams ''et al.''; Cooper, p. 39; Wilson, p. 35</ref> At the subsequent election in 1563, he was returned for both [[Lyme Regis (UK Parliament constituency)|Lyme Regis, Dorset]], another constituency under Bedford's influence,<ref>Cooper, p. 42; Wilson, p. 39</ref> and [[Banbury (UK Parliament constituency)|Banbury, Oxfordshire]].

Later that year, he succeeded Sir [[Henry Norris, 1st Baron Norreys|Henry Norris]] as English ambassador in Paris.<ref>Hutchinson, pp. 43–44</ref> One of his duties was to continue negotiations for a marriage between Elizabeth and Charles IX's younger brother [[Henry III of France|Henry, Duke of Anjou]].

The Huguenots and other European Protestant interests supported the nascent revolt in the [[Spanish Netherlands]], which were provinces of [[Habsburg Spain]]. When Catholic opposition to this course in France resulted in the death of Huguenot leader [[Gaspard II de Coligny|Gaspard de Coligny]] and the [[St. Bartholomew's Day massacre]], Walsingham's house in Paris became a temporary sanctuary for Protestant refugees, including [[Philip Sidney]].<ref>Cooper, pp. 77–79; Hutchinson, pp. 48–50</ref> Ursula, who was pregnant, escaped to England with their four-year-old daughter.

The duties of the principal secretary were not defined formally,<ref>Wilson, p. 92</ref> but as he handled all royal correspondence and determined the agenda of council meetings, he could wield great influence in all matters of policy and in every field of government, both foreign and domestic.<ref>Cooper, pp. 87–96; Wilson, p. 92–96</ref> During his term of office, Walsingham supported the use of England's maritime power to open new trade routes and explore the New World, and was at the heart of international affairs.

After the assassination in mid-1584 of [[William the Silent]], the leader of the Dutch revolt against Spain, English military intervention in the Low Countries was agreed in the [[Treaty of Nonsuch|Treaties of Nonsuch]] of 1585.<ref>Adams ''et al''.; Cooper, p. 291</ref> The murder of William the Silent also reinforced fears for Queen Elizabeth's safety.<ref>Cooper, p. 194; Hutchinson, pp. 107, 116; Wilson, pp. 179–180</ref> Walsingham helped create the [[Bond of Association]], the signatories of which promised to hunt down and kill anyone who conspired against Elizabeth.

During the presentation of evidence against her, Mary broke down and pointed accusingly at Walsingham saying, "all of this is the work of Monsieur de Walsingham for my destruction",<ref>Hutchinson, p. 164</ref> to which he replied, "God is my witness that as a private person I have done nothing unworthy of an honest man, and as Secretary of State, nothing unbefitting my duty."<ref>Fraser, p. 513; Hutchinson, p. 165</ref> Mary was found guilty and the warrant for her execution was drafted,<ref>Hutchinson, p. 169</ref> but Elizabeth hesitated to sign it, despite pressure from Walsingham.<ref>Hutchinson, p. 172</ref> Walsingham wrote to Paulet urging him to find "some way to shorten the life" of Mary to relieve Elizabeth of the burden,<ref>Hutchinson, p. 181</ref> to which Paulet replied indignantly, "God forbid that I should make so foul a shipwreck of my conscience, or leave so great a blot to my poor posterity, to shed blood without law or warrant."<ref>Fraser, p. 529; Hutchinson, p. 182</ref> Walsingham made arrangements for Mary's execution; Elizabeth signed the warrant on 1 February 1587 and entrusted it to [[William Davison (diplomat)|William Davison]], who had been appointed as junior Secretary of State in late September 1586. Davison passed the warrant to Cecil and a privy council convened by Cecil without Elizabeth's knowledge agreed to carry out the sentence as soon as was practical. Within a week, Mary was beheaded.<ref>Hutchinson, pp. 183–194; Wilson, pp. 221–222</ref> On hearing of the execution, Elizabeth claimed not to have sanctioned the action and that she had not meant Davison to part with the warrant. Davison was arrested and imprisoned in the [[Tower of London]]. Walsingham's share of Elizabeth's displeasure was small because he was absent from court, at home ill, in the weeks just before and after the execution.<ref>Hutchinson, pp. 196–202; Wilson, pp. 223–228</ref> Davison was eventually released in October 1588, on the orders of Cecil and Walsingham.<ref>Hutchinson, pp. 201, 328; Wilson, p. 226</ref>

Cette liste concerne les groupes d'intervention des forces de police. Pour les unités de forces spéciales des forces armées, se conférer à la Liste des unités de forces spéciales.

Cette liste recense les groupes d'intervention des forces de police ou des agences spécialisées contre un type de crime ou délit.

Ces groupes ont pour mission de :

  • libérer des otages ;
  • intervenir sur des missions à haut-risque, notamment face à des individus fortement armés ou barricadés ;
  • mener des opérations de contre-terrorisme ;
  • escorter des dignitaires de l'État ou étrangers, des prisonniers dangereux.
