Was Guy Fawkes framed by robert cecil?

I believe that Guy Fawkes was innocent as King James had a secretary(Robert Cecil) and sometimes he would lend him the key to the tower where all the gun powder was stored. It was locked all the time, so Guy Fawkes couldn't have got in because he was catholic and at this point Catholics were disliked because the king was protestant, also Cecil hated catholics very much and wanted to get rid of them so this would be the perfect plan. As well people would notice if there were 36 massive barrels went missing. Cecil also wanted to warn catholics by this execution of Guy Fawkes so that they would not mess with him or anyone else in England because he literally detested Catholics.


Why did Robert Cecil frame the catholics to make king James hate them?

Robert Cecil framed the Catholics to make King James I distrust them as part of a political strategy to consolidate power and ensure stability in England. By portraying Catholics as a threat, he aimed to bolster Protestant unity and suppress any potential dissent that could challenge the monarchy. This manipulation of public perception helped Cecil strengthen his position within the court and align the king's policies with Protestant interests, creating a narrative that justified increased surveillance and repression of Catholic practices.
