The Gunpowder Plot
Before the plot
Catholics, puritans and protestants hated each other
-
The protestants didn't like the King, James I, at first because they felt that he was going easy on the Catholics
Because of all the pressure from the Protestants, James I planned to ban Catholicism from England
-
-
-
A few of the conspirators (plotters) included: Guy Fawkes, Thomas Percy, John Wright and Francis Tresham
They planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament with James I inside of it because of what he did to Catholics and how he banned them from going to their church
-
The plot
-
But on November 5th (the night of the plot) they came back this time and arrested him without hesitation
-
-
-
On the night before of the plot (November 4th) Guy Fawkes was hiding in the cellar with the Gunpowder
The other conspirators, including Robert Catesby, went and hid in the midlands trying to think up a new plan
The build up to the plot
-
Guy Fawkes (the person who would set off the Gunpowder), started to sneak 36 barrels of gunpowder into the cellar
-
After a few months, the gunpowder went off so Guy Fawkes had to go and buy another 36 and bring it back into the cellar
Lord Monteagle was sent an anonymous warning letter telling him about the plot so he passed it onto James I
-
After the plot
He was then hung, drawn and quartered which eventually killed him and it took about 2-3 days
-
-
As a result of being quartered, the four sections of his body were sent to the four corners of England to make sure nobody commited treason ever again
After the failed plot, Guy Fawkes was sent to the Tower of London and got tortured
Consequences
-
-
-
James I ordered that everyone must light a bonfire to celebrate and throw a effigy of Guy Fawkes onto it every November 5th
