carvajal's motive to move england was for the sole purpose of converting anglicans to catholicism and she was willing to die as a martyr for this cause. this would come true when on january 24, 1605 carvajal made her way from valladolid to london. father henry garnet had arranged the arrival of carvajal to england, and she would arrive late 1605 shortly prior to the gunpowder plot but did not take part in the plot. the failed gunpowder plot of 1605 led to heightened hostility against catholics. this heightened hostility was one of the reasons as to why magdalena de san jeronimo was hesitant about carvajal's stay in england. just six months after carvajal had arrived in england, father henry garnet would be executed for knowing information about catholic uprising plans against the english government.
