sort of... he was a trusted servent of James I and he was the person who tried to stop it from happening. But then it is thought that he was behind the plot and he was the one who wrote the letter to Lord Monteagle. The reason behind this is that he hated Catholics and he wanted to get rid of them.

Robert Cecil was the Protestant Minister of England at the time of the Gunpowder Plot. Apparently, he really didn't like Catholics. I hope that helps!
Conspiracy the plot was set up by Robert Cecil
it was to kill all catholics. his excuse was that the gunpowder plot may have had more people involved i think this is right not too sure :p
A conspiracy theory says Robert Cecil was, to make the Catholics leave the country
Robert Cecil was a protestant. He hated Catholics. that is why when the gunpowder plot was going on, he framed Guindo/Guy Falkes
He was the leader and he started it all. naughty boy!
1. The Catholics were guilty for attempted murder of the King. 2. The Catholics were framed by Robert Cecil.
Nobody knows wheather he was or not, but evidence shows us that he could have been working as the King's incider but the plot in itself at home!
