After the plotters learned about the letter Lord Monteagle received, which warned him to stay away from the House of Lords on November 5, they became alarmed and felt their plan was compromised. This led them to hastily decide to abandon their plot to blow up Parliament. Despite their efforts to escape, the authorities were alerted, and the plot was ultimately foiled when the government discovered the gunpowder stored in the cellar. The failed conspiracy resulted in the execution of several plotters and a lasting legacy of November 5 as Guy Fawkes Night.
