King James I viewed Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot as a serious threat to his reign and the stability of England. Fawkes' attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605 was perceived not only as an attack on the king but also on the Protestant establishment. Following the plot's failure, James used the event to strengthen his rule and promote a narrative of loyalty and treachery, ultimately leading to the annual observance of Guy Fawkes Night. The plot reinforced his resolve to maintain a strong government and suppress Catholic dissent.
