King James I learned about the Gunpowder Plot through an anonymous letter sent to Lord Monteagle, warning him to stay away from the Houses of Parliament on the night of the planned attack. This letter raised suspicions, prompting authorities to investigate. Subsequently, a search of the Parliament building led to the discovery of Guy Fawkes and the explosives stored there. The plotters were apprehended, leading to their eventual execution.
Guy Fawkes was apart of the Gunpowder Plot (the plot to kill King James I), but the plot failed, so he did not kill the king.
The plot was an attempt to assassinate King James I of England.

King James I was not a participant in the Gunpowder Plot; in fact, he was the target of the conspiracy. The plot was devised by a group of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, in 1605 to assassinate the king and blow up the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament. The conspirators aimed to end Protestant rule in England and restore Catholic leadership. The plot was foiled on November 5, 1605, leading to the execution of the conspirators.
No, King James I was not killed by Catholics. He ruled from 1603 until his death in 1625 and was the target of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605, which was orchestrated by a group of Catholic conspirators aiming to assassinate him and blow up Parliament. However, the plot was foiled, and James I continued to reign until his natural death.
