On #ThisDayInHistory in 1605, #GuyFawkes was arrested and the #GunpowderPlot was exposed. A group of English Catholics led by #RobertCatesby had hoped to blow up the #HouseOfLords and kill King #JamesIAndVI of England & Scotland, whom they blamed for limited religious tolerance.

Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
