What with all this 'Remember, remember, the 5th of November...',

What is so significant about the gunpowder plot?
There were three major candidates to succeed Queen Elizabeth, and two of them favored greater religious tolerance toward Catholics (Who had to practice in secret at the time because of England's anti-catholic laws.) James I was the one who did not favor religious tolerance, and was the one to secure the throne after Queen Elizabeth passed away.
The Gunpowder plot was an attempt to assassinate James I by blowing up the House of Lords.
The plot was discovered ant thwarted, and as a result even more oppressive anti-catholic laws were created.

Who was the ploters in the gunpowder plot?
the plotters were
John Wright, Christopher Wright, Thomas Wintour, Robert Wintour, Thomas Percy, Guido Fawkes, Robert Keys, Thomas Bates, John Grant, Sir Ambrose Rookwood, Sir Everard Digby and Francis Tresham
No it is not true because Guyfawkes kept on setting plots up to kill the king when he was in the building and was planning to kill the people that were in the building aswell so that there was no proof that Guyfawkes had killed the king. This was all of Guyfawkes conspiracy. But he had failed, the government had found out that Guyfawkes was doing all this and managed to stop so then neither did that king die and nor the other people that were in the building at the time.
What is a bonfire got to do with the gunpowder plot?
The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 aimed to assassinate King James I and blow up the House of Lords to restore a Catholic monarchy in England. The plot was foiled, and the conspirators were executed, leading to a public celebration on November 5th, known as Guy Fawkes Night. Bonfires were lit to commemorate the failure of the plot and the survival of the king, and over time, this tradition evolved into the modern celebration, where effigies of Guy Fawkes are burned on bonfires. Thus, bonfires became a symbol of the plot's failure and a way to remember the historical event.
Which building was target of the gunpowder plot?
The target of the gunpowder plot in 1605 was: the House Of Lords. Now these days we celebrate that event on the 5th of November. The poem is:
"Remember, remember the 5th of November.
The Gunpowder treason and plots.
I know no reason why gunpowder treason shall ever be forgot"
How many people were executed for being involved with the gunpowder plot?
Eight people (or ten, see below) were executed for involvement in the gunpowder plot.
Everard Digby, Robert Wintour, John Grant, and Thomas Bates were hanged and then cut down and castrated, disembowelled, and then quartered on January 30th.
The next day Thomas Wintour, Ambrose Rookwood, Robert Keyes, and Guy Fawkes were hanged, drawn, and quartered.
Steven Littleton and Henry Garnet were executed some time later.
Robert Catesby and Thomas Percy were killed trying to escape after the plot was exposed. However their bodies were exhumed so that they also could be decapitated. It is debatable as to whether or not this can be counted as an execution, so I have not included it in the tally above.
What part did Robert Cecil play in the gunpowder plot?
some people believe that he was behind the whole thing. it is said that he fed ideas throught lord monteagle in order to convince King James I that Catholics should be gotten rid of. it is also believed that he knew all along that the plot would fail because the gunpowder was in fact decayed, and therefore would never have blown up. when he was informed of the plot, he actually waited for a few days so it could thicken,m before moving in and arresting the conspirators.

I see no reason why Gunpowder, Treason,
Should ever be forgot.
