The plotters of the Gunpowder Plot, primarily Guy Fawkes and his associates, obtained the gunpowder from the King's storehouses. They managed to acquire a significant amount of gunpowder by renting a cellar beneath the House of Lords, where they intended to detonate it during the State Opening of Parliament in 1605. Their plan was to kill King James I and restore Catholic rule in England.
James I was not killed by Guy Fawkes, the plot was discovered in time. The Gunpowder Plot, an attempt to kill James I and most of the Protestant aristoracy was led by Robert Catesby. Others involved in the plot were Thomas and Robert Winter, John and Christopher Wright, Robert Keyes, Thomas Percy, John Grant, Ambrose Rokewood, Sir Everard Digby, Francis Tresham and Thomas Bates.

some mad cool guys
In 1605, Guy Fawkes, who was part of a team to blow up King James I, placed many barrels of gunpowder under the Houses of Parliament to try and kill him in what was dubbed the 'Gunpowder Plot'. However, before he did it he was caught by guards and later sentenced to death. Even after much torturing he did not reveal the names of the other members of his team.Every year on 5th November an effigy of Guy Fawkes is burnt on bonfires across the UK, sometimes called 'Bonfire Night'. Fireworks are also fired as well.
