Today in history 1605, Guy Fawkes one of the Catholic Gunpowder Plotters, was seized before he could blow up the Houses of Parliament with King James I and the English parliament inside. The plot was led by Robert Catesby, who believed that it was the only way to halt the suppression and persecution of the Catholic church in England, something which started with James I's grandfather, Henry VIII and enthusiastically continued by Elizabeth I. Catesby, along with the other members, all faced death within weeks or even days of the event, whether during attempted capture, or torture and execution.
