After the plotters learned about the letter Lord Monteagle received, which warned him to stay away from the House of Lords on November 5, they became alarmed and felt their plan was compromised. This led them to hastily decide to abandon their plot to blow up Parliament. Despite their efforts to escape, the authorities were alerted, and the plot was ultimately foiled when the government discovered the gunpowder stored in the cellar. The failed conspiracy resulted in the execution of several plotters and a lasting legacy of November 5 as Guy Fawkes Night.
King James I dealt severely with Catholic Christians; locking them up in prison ordering for their murder and taking their money simply because they followed a foreign leader, alias The Pope. The Catholics were annoyed at this and decided to take action through a group of plotters and their Leader Guido Fawkes (Guy Fawkes); and realised that killing the King not only would they triumph amongst normal Christians thus popularising Catholicism, they could also bring a Catholic-born King/Queen to power. Guido Fawkes and his gang of plotters decided they would murder the King by blowing up the Houses of Parliament while the court was in session, not just killing themselves and the king, but his councillors too. Francis Tresham knew a man that would be there, namely Lord Mounteagle, so decided to write a letter to him asking for the Lord to make up an excuse to miss the council that day, for he felt he would be held responsible for his death. The Lord received this letter from a man in disguise, and obviously thought that this was strange so consulted the King. The councillors laughed at the idea, but James believed this to be a gunpowder plot. Some people were sent down to the cellars to investigate, and found Fawkes waiting to set off the gunpowder. Gunpowder was restricted in those days, and it is said that Fawkes and his men bought the barrels off of Cecil. In my opinion, I think the whole thing was in fact just a set up made by Robert Cecil (King James' Right-hand man) and Francis Tresham (was seen with Cecil on November 5th, and was the one who sent the letter to Monteagle; this implies that Tresham was like the Devil's advocate, in the way that he was seen to have been on the plotters' side as well!) , in a plot to get back at the Catholics. I can prove this because the letter that was sent to Monteagle was done nothing to by the government and no actions were took until November 4th; the 36 barrels of Gunpowder were bought off Cecil, the only man who could give it to them since he was a man of the Government; Historical records for 1605 were mysteriously destroyed; and the government always knew who the conspirators were (why would they tell them where they were anyway?!) I think by all these pieces of evidence that the plotters were framed by Cecil and his men. With him and the rest of the Government just wanting the Catholics out of the way, he may have just put them in this position and execution to scare the other Catholics in England. Most of the evidence collected seems to suggest that Fawkes and the other Conspirators were framed.

On 4 November 1605, Cecil ordered a search of the whole of the Houses of Parliament, and Fawkes was found and arrested.

William Parker, 4th Baron Monteagle, was not directly involved in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 but is best known for his role in its discovery.
