The Gunpowder Plot of 1605, was a failed assassination attempt by a group of provincial English Catholics against King James I of Engalnd and VI of Scotland. The plot intended to kill the King and most of the Protestant aristocracy by blowing up the Houses of Parliament during the State Opening on 5 November 1605.
The conspirators also planned to abduct the royal children, and lead a popular revolt in the Midlands.
