How did the gunpowder plot nearly affect James 1st?
'Cus he might get annoyed and spaz out and jump out of a window where some terrorist guy sees him and goes 'alalalalalala' and blows him up, but neither he nor the terrorist are dead, so 'John Johnson' suggests that the terrorist should in fact but rape James. Now that's what I call a threat!
People who were involved in the gunpowder plot?
Guido Fawkes-He was in charge of everything WRONG!
Robert Catesby-He was the leader
Thomas Percy-He was the plotter
Francis Trasham-He arrived in the group after it had all been plotter so he didn't really have a major part in the plot.
The Barons did not like the fact that the King could not do as he wanted, so they revolted, parliament was one of the conditions of peace.
What happened after the Gunpowder plot failed?
guy Fawkes was caught, about to light the gunpowder. he was tortured for about two days until he told who else was involved with the plot. (sorry, i can't remember their names) they found, i think, all the plotters. four were killed trying to resist arrest and four more were hung, drawn and quartered.
hope this helps!
Was Guy Fawkes framed and how?
King James I dealt severely with Catholic Christians; locking them up in prison ordering for their murder and taking their money simply because they followed a foreign leader, alias The Pope. The Catholics were annoyed at this and decided to take action through a group of plotters and their Leader Guido Fawkes (Guy Fawkes); and realised that killing the King not only would they triumph amongst normal Christians thus popularising Catholicism, they could also bring a Catholic-born King/Queen to power.
Guido Fawkes and his gang of plotters decided they would murder the King by blowing up the Houses of Parliament while the court was in session, not just killing themselves and the king, but his councillors too. Francis Tresham knew a man that would be there, namely Lord Mounteagle, so decided to write a letter to him asking for the Lord to make up an excuse to miss the council that day, for he felt he would be held responsible for his death. The Lord received this letter from a man in disguise, and obviously thought that this was strange so consulted the King. The councillors laughed at the idea, but James believed this to be a gunpowder plot. Some people were sent down to the cellars to investigate, and found Fawkes waiting to set off the gunpowder. Gunpowder was restricted in those days, and it is said that Fawkes and his men bought the barrels off of Cecil.
In my opinion, I think the whole thing was in fact just a set up made by Robert Cecil (King James' Right-hand man) and Francis Tresham (was seen with Cecil on November 5th, and was the one who sent the letter to Monteagle; this implies that Tresham was like the Devil's advocate, in the way that he was seen to have been on the plotters' side as well!) , in a plot to get back at the Catholics. I can prove this because the letter that was sent to Monteagle was done nothing to by the government and no actions were took until November 4th; the 36 barrels of Gunpowder were bought off Cecil, the only man who could give it to them since he was a man of the Government; Historical records for 1605 were mysteriously destroyed; and the government always knew who the conspirators were (why would they tell them where they were anyway?!) I think by all these pieces of evidence that the plotters were framed by Cecil and his men. With him and the rest of the Government just wanting the Catholics out of the way, he may have just put them in this position and execution to scare the other Catholics in England. Most of the evidence collected seems to suggest that Fawkes and the other Conspirators were framed.
What was Thomas Percy's role in the gunpowder plot?
He was a co conspirator. After the discovery of the plot, Percy was killed at Holbeche House on November 8, 1605.
Why was the gunpowder plot planned?
King James I's mother and wife were both Catholics, so many Catholics believed that James became king, he would support Catholisism and help it grow. But he didn't do this and this angered many Catholics. So Catesby, Fawkes and three others devised plans to blow up the king. They ended up on 5th november 1605 with 13 people and 36 barrels of gunpowder beneath the house of Lords. They were very close to succeeding.
How did the gunpowder plotters get the gunpowder?
they took it down into the cellar that they rented because Parliament rented it out so they could make more money
Where did Guy Fawkes get his gunpowder?
guy fawkes got the gunpowder from a foren country and imported it into england.
How did the plotters of the Gunpowder Plot die?

Guido Fawkes
Thomas and Robert Winter
Christopher and John Wright

What did guy Fawkes do before the gunpowder plot?
Guido Fawkes (Guy Fawkes) role in The Gunpowder plot was to get the Gunpowder, move it to Parliament and lastly to light it and blowParliament up. But the main aim is to blow the House of Lords up because King James, the lords and Bishops will be there.
Why could the Catholics be blamed for the gunpowder plot?
No, the gunpowder plot was, at best, a bunch of men who really didn't understand their religion. Our Blessed Lord asks us to PICK UP OUR CROSS DAILY and follow Him. He said nothing about bringing down heretical governments, to the best of my knowledge.

Gun powder by its self does nothing ... gun power is an incendiary meaning it burns at a high temperature... making it good to project or propel object at a great distance...
Gunpowder is what is known as a "low" explosive. Gunpowder, when ignited by flame or friction (i.e. it is heat in some form that cause gunpowder to ignite), burns rapidly. This rapid burning of the gunpowder grains results in a significant amount of gas being produced. This hot gas expands quickly, producing a wave of force.
In a confined space, this gas will attempt to push against the walls of whatever is confining it. It thus makes for an excellent propellant - gunpowder produces a steadily increasing amount of gas over a relatively long time period (hundreds of milliseconds), allowing it to slowly accelerate a projectile out of a barrel.
In comparison "high" explosives (such as TNT) don't actually burn in the sense of combining with oxygen in a typical oxidation process. Rather, they detonate, and producing a supersonic shock wave of force, and it is this wave which exerts extreme force on objects. Compared to gunpowder, the shock wave from a high explosive is produced about a 10 times faster than the burning gases, and is well over 10 times more forceful. High explosives generally make very poor propellants, since this large force acts over too short a time frame to push a projectile out of a tube - rather, using a high explosive substance as a propellant will most likely burst the barrel or destroy the projectile.

Why should you remember remember the fifth of November?
The rhyme "remember, remember the 5th of November" refers to Guy Fawkes Day, celebrated in England. The full rhyme is:
Remember, Remember the 5th of November,
Gunpowder, Treason and Plot,
I see no reason why Gunpowder, Treason,
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes Day marks the downfall of the Gunpowder Plot of 5 November 1605, in which a number of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament, in London. Parliament later established November 5 as a national day of thanksgiving. Fireworks traditionally fill the skies over Britain in remembrance of the failure of the Gunpowder Plot.
