King James I became aware of the Gunpowder Plot through a series of informants and letters that alerted him to the conspiracy to blow up the Houses of Parliament on November 5, 1605. One significant piece of evidence was a warning letter sent to a member of Parliament, which raised suspicions about the plotters' intentions. Additionally, the government had been monitoring the activities of known Catholics, which led to the arrest of Guy Fawkes and the discovery of the explosives. This intelligence allowed James to take measures to prevent the assassination attempt.
