- Because the King found out about it
- King James I caught Guy Fawkes in the act
- The gun powder had gone off and so it couldn't be lit and therefore the houses of parliament wouldn't be able to be blown up
- There was a letter sent to Lord Monteagle from one of the catholics warning them what was going to happen
Some say that the cathloics were actually framed and that Lord Monteagle was actually a spy for Robert Cecil who were both Protestants. That Cecil had actually made it alot easier for the catholics to be able to blow up Parliament and then told James 1st and caught them red handed. Cecil wanted to banish the catholic religon and by making them seem evil was a perfect way to get rid of catholicsm ;)
