History

On 5^th November 1605 King James I was due to open his first parliament.  All the MPs and lords would be gathered in the House of Lords to hear him speak.  However, the evening before, a catholic named Lord Mounteagle had received a mysterious message from a stranger in disguise.  It advised him to find an excuse not to go to parliament.   Mounteagle showed the message to Robert Cecil, the king’s adviser.  Cecil had the Houses of Parliament searched.  He found 36 barrels of gunpowder under the House of Lords and a catholic, Guy Fawkes, ready to light the fuse.  Guy Fawkes was arrested and he confessed under torture.  The plotters were executed for treason.  The country celebrated and November 5^th became a night of celebration.
