The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 was a failed attempt by a group of English Catholics, including Guy Fawkes, to assassinate King James I and blow up the House of Lords. The plot was motivated by the persecution of Catholics under James I’s rule, and the conspirators hoped to restore Catholicism in England by killing the king and the Protestant leaders. They planned to ignite barrels of gunpowder placed beneath the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament on the 5th of November, 1605. However, the plot was foiled when an anonymous letter tipped off authorities, leading to the discovery of Fawkes guarding the gunpowder. The conspirators were arrested, tortured, and executed.
