Answer
Catherine's implication in the fictitious Popish Plot, a purported Catholic conspiracy to assassinate King Charles II, led to her being accused of high treason in 1678. This false accusation emerged as part of Titus Oates' elaborate scheme to incriminate prominent Catholic figures, resulting in Catherine's subsequent imprisonment and trial. Despite lacking substantial evidence, public sentiment against Catholics during this period fueled her persecution.
