I believe that Guy Fawkes was innocent as King James had a secretary(Robert Cecil)

and sometimes he would lend him the key to the tower where all the gun powder was stored. It was locked all the time, so Guy Fawkes couldn't have got in because he was catholic and at this point Catholics were disliked because the king was protestant, also Cecil hated catholics very much and wanted to get rid of them so this would be the perfect plan. As well people would notice if there were 36 massive barrels went missing.

Cecil also wanted to warn catholics by this execution of Guy Fawkes so that they would not mess with him or anyone else in England because he literally detested Catholics.

Why did Robert Cecil help Guy Fawkes with the gunpowder plot?

There are numerous theories by different contributors detailed below: Robert Cecil framed Guy Fawkes (some people believe). All gunpowder was controlled by the government and kept in the tower of London so they must have got permission off the king to buy it, that was very hard. also the cellar was owned by the government and became available with enough time to prepare. Cecil must have planned this. The plot was set up by the government so they had a reason to punish some catholics. It took 8 days of torture after he was captured for Fawkes to reveal the other plotters names, but the plotters were captured at Holbeach house only TWO days after Fawkes was captured. Cecil was part of the plot as he rented the cellar for the plotters, was in charge of the paper work for supplies of gun powder, and the records of that year went missing. He knew where the plotters were taking refuge and captured them early. The only one who wasn't captured that day was Francis Tresham. But he was taken in later, but died suddenly in his cellar at the tower of London before he was questioned. Who had access to the tower of London? Cecil did. Who was the framer? Cecil. Who definitely didn't want to get found out by the king that he was part of a plot that planned to blow his Highness up? Cecil. He obviously killed Tresham before the guy could spill the beans. Cecil did the same to his friend he rented the cellar off, Thomas Whynniard. Whynniard died suddenly on the morning the plot was supposed to take place. Another fact is that When Fawkes was down in the cellar, two guards came down and asked for his name, Fawkes said his name was John Johnson, and wasn't arrested... who cares what his name is! the guards didn't know they were looking for a dude named Guy Fawkes, didn't they spot the 36 barrels of gunpowder behind him? Or were they just sent down there to make sure every thing was set up?
