King James I was alerted to Guy Fawkes' plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament through an anonymous letter sent to one of the members of Parliament, warning him to stay away from the opening session scheduled for November 5, 1605. This letter prompted an investigation, which led to the discovery of Fawkes and his co-conspirators in the cellar beneath the Parliament building, where they had stored barrels of gunpowder. The swift action taken by authorities following the warning helped to thwart the assassination attempt.
