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.
King James 1
No, he was caught out by one of the King's men hours before he was about to light the gunpowder. One of the plotters sent a letter to the King informing him of the plot. Guy Fawkes was then hanged, drawn and quartered
Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot.
King James I became aware of the Gunpowder Plot through a series of informants and letters that alerted him to the conspiracy to blow up the Houses of Parliament on November 5, 1605. One significant piece of evidence was a warning letter sent to a member of Parliament, which raised suspicions about the plotters' intentions. Additionally, the government had been monitoring the activities of known Catholics, which led to the arrest of Guy Fawkes and the discovery of the explosives. This intelligence allowed James to take measures to prevent the assassination attempt.
No. King James did not kill Mary Queen of Scots.

The plotters' plan typically refers to a conspiracy to overthrow a government or authority, often involving assassination or coup attempts. For instance, in the context of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, the plotters aimed to blow up the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament to kill King James I and restore a Catholic monarchy. Their ultimate goal was to end Protestant rule in England and replace it with Catholic leadership, seeking to regain power and influence for Catholics in the country. However, the plot was foiled, leading to severe repercussions for the conspirators.
