New. 212 p. Audience: General/trade. By John Gerard. The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 known at the time as the Gunpowder Treason Plot or the Jesuit Treason was billed as a failed assassination plot against Protestant King James I of England by a group of English Catholics led by Robert Catesby. The official story was that the conspirators were going to blow up the House of Lords during the opening of England s Parliament on the 5th of November by igniting a massive cache of gunpowder stored in the cellars under the houses of Parliament. The alleged conspirators, we are told, hoped to inspire a widespread revolt in which a Catholic monarch could be placed on the throne. Also allegedly involved in the plot were a number of other Catholics including Guido Guy Fawkes, a veteran of the military. Fawkes was supposedly given charge of the explosives.
