The Gunpowder Plot

He was afraid the troops would use it against the British.

1. It took place on the 5th of November.

2. 36 barrels of gunpowder was placed underneath the Houses of Parliament.

3. Guy was the one who got caught.

4. A letter was received saying `not to go to the opening`.

5. They got caught the night before the plot.

There are numerous theories by different contributors detailed below:

Robert Cecil framed Guy Fawkes (some people believe). All gunpowder was controlled by the government and kept in the tower of London so they must have got permission off the king to buy it, that was very hard. also the cellar was owned by the government and became available with enough time to prepare. Cecil must have planned this.

The plot was set up by the government so they had a reason to punish some catholics.

It took 8 days of torture after he was captured for Fawkes to reveal the other plotters names, but the plotters were captured at Holbeach house only TWO days after Fawkes was captured. Cecil was part of the plot as he rented the cellar for the plotters, was in charge of the paper work for supplies of gun powder, and the records of that year went missing. He knew where the plotters were taking refuge and captured them early. The only one who wasn't captured that day was Francis Tresham. But he was taken in later, but died suddenly in his cellar at the tower of London before he was questioned.

Who had access to the tower of London? Cecil did. Who was the framer? Cecil. Who definitely didn't want to get found out by the king that he was part of a plot that planned to blow his Highness up? Cecil. He obviously killed Tresham before the guy could spill the beans. Cecil did the same to his friend he rented the cellar off, Thomas Whynniard. Whynniard died suddenly on the morning the plot was supposed to take place.

Another fact is that When Fawkes was down in the cellar, two guards came down and asked for his name, Fawkes said his name was John Johnson, and wasn't arrested... who cares what his name is! the guards didn't know they were looking for a dude named Guy Fawkes, didn't they spot the 36 barrels of gunpowder behind him? Or were they just sent down there to make sure every thing was set up?

36

they got 36 barrels of gunpowder into the houses of parliament by a boat they put all the barrels on a boat.

The gunpowder was being hidden in the gunpowder plot. It was hidden in a cellar under the house of parliament.

Guy Fawkes, Robert Catesby, Christopher Wright, John Wright and Thomas Percy.

It happened on the 5th of November 1605.

Yes, gunpowder can be ignited by a spark, as it is sensitive to heat and friction. When exposed to a sufficient temperature from a spark, it undergoes rapid combustion, producing gas and heat. This property is why gunpowder is used in firearms and explosives. However, it typically requires a specific ignition source, such as a fuse or primer, for safe and effective detonation.

'dolkvad'e;

The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 as its known was the brainchild of Robert Catesby, Together with Guy Fawkes and other plotters, they formed a plan to strike at the opening of parliament on the day of 5 November. With the king (James1) dead, they could returnBritain to the Catholic faith.

Fawkes posed as a servant called John Johnson, and began getting gunpowder. The plotters rented a cellar under the House of Lords and packed it with enough explosive to kill not only the present king but most of the powerful men in the land as they sat in the rooms above.

As the plot neared its execution date of 5th November . Lord Monteagle, the brother-in-law of one of the plotters, received an anonymous letter which warned against attending Parliament for the opening. Monteagle passed the letter to Robert Cecil, who decided to wait before taking action. The plotters had no reason to believe their plan was in danger of discovery.

On 4 November 1605, Cecil ordered a search of the whole of the Houses of Parliament, and Fawkes was found and arrested.

The plan had been many weekins the the making with Catesby seeking out men who were Catholic sympathisers.

The other ploters were;

Robert and Thomas Wintour,

Thomas Percy,

Christopher and John Wright,

Francis Tresham,

Everard Digby,

Ambrose Rookwood,

Thomas Bates,

Robert Keyes,

Hugh Owen,

the gun powder plot

The knowledge of how to make gunpowder was first developed by the Chinese. IT is not difficult to make, the ingredients are sulfur, carbon and saltpeter. Given the ingredients (and the precise recipe) one could make it in a kitchen sink.

Romeo and Juliet

The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 involved a group of English Catholics who sought to assassinate King James I and blow up the House of Lords to protest against Protestant rule. The key conspirators included Robert Catesby, the leader, as well as Guy Fawkes, Thomas Wintour, John Wright, Robert Wintour, and several others. They aimed to ignite a rebellion and restore Catholic monarchy. Ultimately, their plot was foiled, leading to severe repercussions for the conspirators.

Since it didn't actually end up happening, people always questioned whether or not the story was real.
