Guy Fawkes plotted against King James I as part of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, aiming to blow up the House of Lords and assassinate the king to end Protestant rule in England. The conspirators, who were mostly Catholic, sought to replace James with a Catholic monarch to restore religious freedoms for Catholics. Their plan was ultimately thwarted, leading to Fawkes' capture and execution, and the event is commemorated annually in the UK on Guy Fawkes Night.
