The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 Online College and University Degree Guide History Learning Site Stuart England > The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 In November 1605, the infamous Gunpowder Plot took place in which some Catholics, most famously Guy Fawkes , plotted to blow up James I , the first of the Stuart kings of England. The story is remembered each November 5th when ‘Guys’ are burned in a celebration known as "Bonfire Night". The story appears to be very simple Catholics in England had expected James to be more tolerant of them. In fact, he had proved to be the opposite and had ordered all Catholic priests to leave England. This so angered some Catholics that they decided to kill James and put his daughter Elizabeth on the throne ensuring that she was a Catholic. This led to a plot to kill not only the king of England, James, but also everyone sitting in the Houses of Parliament at the same time as James was there when he opened Parliament on November 5th, 1605. Guy Fawkes and his fellow conspirators, having rented out a house right by the Houses of Parliament, managed to get 36 barrels of gunpowder into a cellar of the House of Lords. The other conspirators were: Robert and Thomas Wintour

Image from The Gunpowder Plot Films for the Humanities, 1997. T he Gunpowder Plot of 1605 , featuring the historian David Starkey, provides an interesting and well-detailed explanation of the events still celebrated with Guy Fawkes’ Day Katherine of Aragon. A frame from The Gunpowder Plot T he video begins with a short discussion of the problems created by Henry VIII’s need for a male heir and Katherine of Aragon’s inability to give him one. That need directly led to the English Reformation, when Henry separated from the Catholic church in order to divorce Katherine. Henry’s religious beliefs, however, probably did not change; his split from the church was political, not religious. His death was followed by a period of religious instability, as Henry’s three children in turn moved England toward Puritanism, then back toward Catholicism, and finally to moderate Anglicanism under Elizabeth I, which alienated both Catholics and Puritans. E T he plot was hatched by Sir Robert Catesby, a Catholic gentleman who had been involved in the Earl of Essex’s rebellion in 1601—another Catholic plot—but had escaped with his life by selling his estate in order to meet the fines levied against him. In 1604, he originated the Gunpowder Plot, designed to kill the king and Parliamentary leaders by blowing up the center of government, the Parliamentary buildings. He quickly enlisted the help of four men: John Wright, one of his fellows from Essex’s rebellion; Thomas Winter and Guy Fawkes, Catholic soldiers; and Thomas Percy, steward to the Earl of Northumberland. They formulated their plans, gained more followers and swore an oath to follow through with them, unaware that they were playing right into the government’s hands.

Time Indexes Holbeche House, Staffordshire by Jennifer O'Brien and David Herber After the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot , the flight of the plotters ended at Holbeche House, near Kingswinford, in Staffordshire. This property belonged to Stephen Littleton, a descendant of the Littletons of Frankley, Worcestershire, who had joined them at the proposed hunting party at Dunchurch. The plotters were being closely followed by the sheriff of Warwick, Sir Richard Walsh, and his men, who were seeking to apprehend them for the raid on the stables at Warwick Castle. Sir Richard did not actually learn of their involvement in the Gunpowder Plot until his arrival at Holbeche as the government forces converged with their orders from Robert Cecil At Holbeche, the conspirators did their best to prepare the house for a siege, and told those not willing to make a stand that they should escape as best they could. During the flight from Warwick Castle via Hewell Grange (the home of Lord Windsor, who was kin to Sir John Talbot of Grafton and the Wintour brothers) where they were reported to have stolen arms and munitions, their store of gunpowder had become wet from the pouring rain, and it was laid out in front of the fireplace to dry.

Signature of Guy Fawkes Under Torture. Guy Fawkes, most famous of the conspirators in the Gunpowder Plot, which was intended to blow up the King, the Prince of wales, and the Lords and Commons at the opening of Parliament on November 5, 1605, was arrested while in charge of preparations for the explosion. He was immediately put to torture so that a complete confession could be forced from him. The document here is part of his examination under torture, and the signature, incomplete and obviously shaky, appears to have been written during or immediately after his ordeal. Two months later Guy Fawkes and his six accomplices were tried at Westminster by a Special Commision. All were found guilty and condemned to death (January 26, 1606). So that the punishment should serve as a warning, care was taken to make their execution, the next day but one, as solemn and terrifying as possible. Transcript of the last two paragraphs of his evidence (November 10, 1605). He Further saith that the Wednesday before his apprehencion he went forth of the Towne to a house in Enfield chase on this side of Theobalds where Wally doth ly - and thither came Robert Catesby, graunt and Thomas Winter, where he stayed Sonday night following.

Henry VIII England was far distant and isolated from the rest of Europe. While Protestantism tore apart European society, it took a far different form in England, retaining much of the doctrine and the practices of Catholicism. England also experienced the greatest wavering between the two religions as the monarchs of England passed from one religion to the next. Henry VIII by Luke Hornbelt The adoption of Protestantism, however, was a political rather than a religious move. King Henry VIII had originally married Catherine of Aragon; since she had been previously married to his brother, though, Henry had to get special papal dispensation for the marriage. Marrying the wife of one's brother was incest; it was almost equivalent to marrying one's sister. The marriage, however, produced no male children to occupy the throne at Henry's death. Henry began to doubt both of the marriage and the spiritual validity of the marriage. In the mid-1520's, he met and fell in love with Ann Boleyn, a lady in waiting to Catherine. He wished to annul his marriage to Catherine and marry Ann; not only did he love Ann, he feared leaving the throne of England without a male heir. In order to marry Ann, the marriage with Catherine had to be annulled by the pope. Circumstances, however, were working against him. First, in order to marry Catherine, he needed special papal dispensation. Annulling the marriage would imply that the first papal dispensation was in error, something the pope was not willing to admit. Second, Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor, had recently invaded Rome and captured the pope. While the pope was allowed to stay pope, he was the virtual prisoner of Charles. The answer to Henry's request, then, was no and no again.

I see no reason why gunpowder treason, Should ever be forgot! Keywords: Guy Fawkes King James I Catholics On the 5th November, 1605 there was an attempt by a small group of English traitors to blow up the Houses of Parliament using barrels of gunpowder hidden in a cellar underneath that building. We commemorate that event, and the fact that it failed, each year on the anniversary with a festival called Bonfire Night. The plotters were trying not only to destroy the English government, but also to kill the king, King James I (who was also James VI of Scotland). The reasons for this went back over eighty years to King Henry VIII. In 1533, Henry had broken away from the Catholic church (the Church of Rome) and had made himself the Head of the Church in England. In effect, he had declared that he had no allegiance to the Pope in Rome, and declared that he was second only to God himself. In this way, the Church of England was created - the Protestant Church. Over the next eighty years or so, England had moved backwards and forwards between Protestantism (Henry, Edward VI and Elizabeth) and Catholicism (Queen Mary). By the early seventeeth century

Robert Catesby, the originator of the Powder Plot, owned estates at Lapworth and Ashby St. Legers. His ancient and honourable family had stood, with occasional lapses, perhaps, but on the whole with fidelity and courage , for the ancient faith . Robert, however, had begun differently. He had been at Oxford in 1586, after Protestantism had won the upper hand, had married into a Protestant family , and his son was baptized in the Protestant church Father Gerard says that he "was very wild, and as he kept company with the best noblemen in the land, so he spent much above his rate." But at, or soon after, his father's death in 1598 "he was reclaimed from his wild courses and became a Catholic ", and was conspicuously earnest in all practices of religion . We, unfortunately, also find in him an habitual inclination towards political and violent measures. This was conspicuously shown during the brief revolt of the Earl of Essex, in February, 1601.

Gunpowder Plot From LoveToKnow 1911 GUNPOWDER PLOT, the name given to a conspiracy for blowing up King James I . and the parliament on the 5th of November 1605. To understand clearly the nature and origin of the famous conspiracy, it is necessary to recall the political situation and the attitude of the Roman Catholics towards the government at the accession of James I. The Elizabethan administration had successfully defended its own existence and the Protestant faith against able and powerful antagonists, but this had not been accomplished without enforcing severe measures of repression and punishment upon those of the opposite faith. The beginning of a happier era, however, was expected with the opening of the new reign. The right of James to the crown could be more readily acknowledged by the Romanists than that of Elizabeth Pope Clement VIII . appeared willing to meet the king half-way. James himself was by nature favourable to the Roman Catholics and had treated the Roman Catholic lords in Scotland with great leniency, in spite of their constant plots and rebellions. Writing to Cecil before his accession he maintained, "am so far from any intention of persecution as I protest to God I reverence their church as our mother church, although clogged with many infirmities and corruptions, besides that I did ever hold persecution as one of the infallible notes of a false church." He declared to

The earliest tributes to mothers date back to the annual spring festival the Greeks dedicated to Rhea, the mother of many deities, and to the offerings ancient Romans made to their Great Mother of Gods, Cybele. Christians celebrated this festival on the fourth Sunday in Lent in honor of Mary, mother of Christ. In England this holiday was expanded to include all mothers and was called Mothering Sunday. In the United States, Mother's Day started nearly 150 years ago, when Anna Jarvis, an Appalachian homemaker, organized a day to raise awareness of poor health conditions in her community, a cause she believed would be best advocated by mothers. She called it "Mother's Work Day." Fifteen years later, Julia Ward Howe, a Boston poet, pacifist, suffragist, and author of the lyrics to the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," organized a day encouraging mothers to rally for peace, since she believed they bore the loss of human life more harshly than anyone else. In 1905 when Anna Jarvis died, her daughter, also named Anna, began a campaign to memorialize the life work of her mother. Legend has it that young Anna remembered a Sunday school lesson that her mother gave in which she said, "I hope and pray that someone, sometime, will found a memorial mother's day. There are many days for men, but none for mothers."
