The Gunpowder Plot was orchestrated by a group of English Catholics, most notably Guy Fawkes, Robert Catesby, Thomas Wintour, and John Wright. The conspiracy aimed to assassinate King James I and blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605 to end Protestant rule and establish a Catholic monarchy. The plot was ultimately foiled when authorities received an anonymous tip-off, leading to the arrest of Fawkes and his co-conspirators. The failed plot is commemorated in the UK on November 5th each year, known as Guy Fawkes Night.
