#OTD 1606 the trial of Guy Fawkes & 7 others, for attempting to blow up the Parliament House, began in Westminster Hall. The Attorney General, Sir Edward Coke, prosecuted the case, and spectators paid up to 10s for admittance. There was never any doubt as to the verdict – all eight were condemned and executed by being hanged, drawn and quartered. The background to the plot is explained in the masterly ‘God’s Traitors’ by Jessie Childs – reviewed here. http://bit.ly/1BjGCTu #stuarts #histodons
