It was not a popular thing to do, although it was tried a few times. The most famous attempt was the Gunpowder Plot in 1605. It was a reasonably popular thing to dramatize, as witness Julius Caesar, Richard II, Richard III and Marlowe's Edward II. The English people loved their dramas to be full of violence and shocking events, and the playwrights gave the audience what they wanted.
