No, King James I was not killed by Catholics. He ruled from 1603 until his death in 1625 and was the target of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605, which was orchestrated by a group of Catholic conspirators aiming to assassinate him and blow up Parliament. However, the plot was foiled, and James I continued to reign until his natural death.

Why did the gunpowder plotters want to kill King James?

The short answer is that there was no "Catholic" plot to kill King James 1. It is no more correct to say this than it is to say that "Episcopals assassinated President Lincoln" (John Wilkes Booth was Episcopalian) The longer answer is that the assassination plot was due to (real or imagined) persecution. On November 5, 1605, a small group of fanatic Catholics in England led by Guy Fawkes planned to blow up the House of Parliament, killing the assembled leadership and assassinating King James I. When it had become clear that King James was not to grant Catholics any relief from the persecution of his predecessor, Queen Elizabeth I.


Why did catholics wanted to kill the James 1?

The King and Parliament in particular were making it clear to non-conforming Catholics that a return of the Roman Catholic Church to England as the state religion was never going to be a possibility. The plot to kill James was as much about him as it was about Parliament which if it had blown up would have killed the kings relatives, the Privy Counsel, the Protestant Aristocracy, all the Bishops of the Church of England and judges of the legal system. In total the whole of the Protestant State. The plotters intended to install the Kings daughter as a puppet Queen and return the Church to Rome.
