King James I succeeded in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 primarily through the timely discovery of the conspiracy, which aimed to blow up the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament. Authorities received an anonymous tip-off about the plot, leading to the arrest of Guy Fawkes, who was found guarding the explosives. The swift action of the government not only thwarted the immediate threat but also solidified James's rule and led to increased anti-Catholic sentiment in England. Subsequently, the event was commemorated annually on November 5th as Guy Fawkes Night.
