Guy Fawkes' plot, known as the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, was a conspiracy by a group of English Catholics to assassinate King James I and blow up the Houses of Parliament. The aim was to end Protestant rule in England and replace it with a Catholic government. Fawkes was tasked with igniting barrels of gunpowder hidden in the cellar beneath the Parliament building, but the plot was foiled when authorities received an anonymous tip. Fawkes was arrested, and the conspirators faced severe punishment, leading to the annual commemoration of Guy Fawkes Night.
