@memarmoo They should make a film about this plot.
-
@waffleriddle The plotters were zealous Catholics disappointed at James I making unfulfilled promises to relax the persecution of Catholics. The religion was illegal and practising mass could get you tortured, then hung drawn and quartered.
-
@DarylJCheetham You need to do a bit more research into the reasons for the plot. I recommend 'Remember, Remember' by James Sharpe and 'The Gunpowder Plot: Terror and Faith in 1605' by Antonia Fraser.

I'm hating having all this metric rammed down my throat. This building would have been built to imperial specifications & Guy and the guys wouldn't have known what a metric ton was. 18cwt sounds a lot better
-
@waffleriddle No, they were villians. They wanted to create a Catholic controlled Britian where protestants would be massacred. Same crime, different religion. Nowadays, these men would've been called Fascist
-
@DarylJCheetham Depends how you see it they could either be villans plotting to kill the king for their own evil ways, or maybe you could say they were heroes plotting to destroy the evil king
-
