In 1605, fanatical Catholics in England attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament and assassinate King James I and his members. In resentment against King James I for not pursuing a tolerant policy towards Catholics, a group led by Robert Catesby attempted to restore Catholic control in England by bringing gunpowder into the basement of the Houses of Parliament. However, the plot was discovered by a secret tip, and one of the conspirators, Guy Fawkes, was captured in the early hours of November 5th, the day of the planned crime, and the group was later executed. Since then, November 5th has been commemorated as Guy Fawkes Day. Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia About Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Information |
