The Gunpowder Plot - Full Documentary

The Gunpowder Plot - Full Documentary
Commemorated annually on 5th November, Guy Fawkes' plan to blow up the Houses of Parliament - immortalised as the Gunpowder Plot - we will live forever as one of history's most audacious acts of treason.
The murder of newly crowned James I was plotted in 1605 by a group of high-born 'Papist Malcontents', a soldier of fortune Fawkes, being entrusted to light the fuse in the Commons cellars. After an eleventh-hour tip-off, the plotters were discovered, tortured and executed. Here, superb recreations and reconstructions tell the full dramatic story.

    I have always seen the Gunpowder Plot as more political than religious. By 1605 many Englishmen of either religion had become truly alienated by the way in which King James' Scottish favourites had headed south with him in 1603 and been given posts, placements, patronage, preferments to such an extent that the English nobles felt alienated. To me the Gunpowder Plot's main purpose was to get rid of the Scots in English government.

    I think religion and politics are kind of the same thing, man made creations used to control people and subjugate them. I don't know much about history but would guess at first the government hated religion and wanted to get rid of it. Then they saw how they could use it and that's how we got churches on every street corner and generations brainwashed into that "belief system" for hundreds of years. And then it got woven into the establishment, God Bless America, God Save The Queen, etc. Fast forward a few hundred / a thousand years and people have no idea what's real or made up anymore.

    That is a great, completely agreeable conclusion. Countless conflicts throughout history have showed this intertwined complex between politics and religion. They drive and influence each other to one extent or another. Throughout history, we have witnessed, time and time again, political goals being pursued under the guise of religious righteousness. Even in the present day, when the religious aspect of such complex appears, on the surface, to be somewhat diluted, we still see it playing its intended role, perhaps no more obvious than the current conflict between Israel and Palestine, as well as the instability in neighbouring countries. Be it Shia against Sunny Islam in Iraq, or Judaism against Islam in Palestine, religion is no less playing its role in furthering political, geopolitical and general economic interests. In my view, it is absolutely sound to conclude that the same "politico-religious" dynamic was at play during the time leading up to the Gunpowder Plot.

    People should know that this presentation of the Gunpowder Plot assumes things that while theoretically possible historians commonly see as unlikely. In particular, the notion that Salisbury had manipulated the plot behind the scenes from early on IS NOT well supported in the evidence. That is even more the case with the idea Percy tried to turn himself in. Rather, it is thought that the government did not know of the plot (at least not more than vague whispers) until the Monteagle Letter (which is thought to be either from one of the plotters trying to save the life of a Catholic supporter or an invention of Monteagle himself to give him an excuse to spill the beans on the plot without having to awkwardly explain how he knew of it). Knowing this changes the story quite a bit compared to what shown here - from the plot being the hairbrained notion of a few Catholic hotheads that a devious government mastermind turns into the ideal vehicle for keeping dissenters in line to to a still amateurish plot that might have worked except that too many people were involved, one of which warned off Monteagle in a letter (or Monteagle learned of the plot himself and invented the letter) which quickly resulted in the government figuring out what was up.

    Today similar plots (of which there are many) would entail the Security Services following the plotters about until they had committed some act they could be nicked for and had showed their hand whilst enabling the fuzz to mop up anyone else involved. Counter-espionage techniques were quite developed early on. Francis Bacon uses the term "Mole", double agents were widely used & most techniques of spy field craft worked out under Walsingham. Sure the Tudor-Stuart Intelligence knew about it & did what any sensible spy chief - like Cecil - would do.

    It's not as far fetched as you might think. Cecil family had a habit of setting up entrapment situations to cause the removal of persons dangerous to the state. Mary Queen of Scots is a prime example. While Walsingham and lord Burleigh were gone. They left a very strong what we would call these days secret service. Network of agents skilled cryptography assets. I think Sailsbury had some hand in it. Maybe not as much as this documentary implies but certainly some hand

    @@leoarc1061 It would have occurred much like it did except that anti-Catholic sentiment would have been much worse. First of all, the plotters were never going to successfully take over the government. Their ‘plan’ for doing so had always amounted to hoping for a near miracle to strike. Instead, Charles would have become king two decades early with his caretaker government doubtlessly being especially oppressive toward Catholics while anyone involved in the least with the plot would have ended up executed. As for Charles’ eventual adult reign that’s hard to say. He could have ended being more ruthless and likely more anti-Catholic than in real life. That means he wouldn’t have married Henrietta but likely some suitable Protestant. However, there is no reason to believe he’d be any better as king so some version of the Civil War could have still easily occurred if for subtly different reasons.

Peace is accepting that all have the same rights.

With hope of legitimate salvation fading fast, the thoughts of certain gentlemen turned to rebellion. It would clearly need force to eject the hated Protestant King and replace him with a Catholic who would restore the Old Religion. Those who entertained such fancible thoughts completely overlooked two very important points. Firstly that the country was Protestant and England nation with many associating Catholicism with foreign collution and danger. And Secondly, there had been Popish plots before and without exception all had failed. The poor tense for a Catholic uprising, were not good.

Just because he reacted to the ignorant loony lefties with the word "damn", that doesn't make him racist. The loony left were were trying to bring up the slavery argument again, 200 years after it was settled. The left can't move on after 200 years, and that's what David reacted to.

    Not one of the gunpowder plotters swore the oath recognising the 'act of supremacy' , that oath was sworn by young men upon taking degrees or diplomas in universities or even government jobs, recognising the supremacy of the church of England and the King of England. As they didn't they weren't technically traitors, but as James was an 'anointed King', he personally could order their executions for it. Very complicated times to live in.

    One cannot fail to have sympathy for Robert Catesby and followers when one considers the inhumane pressures and terror they and their Catholic co-religionists suffered in England during that era, but one has also to question what would most probably have happened if the gunpowder plot and subsequent uprising has been successful. Would the Catholics have shown their Protestant countrymen and women a more tolerant and humane way to solve the religious conflict, or would an English Inquisition on the style of the Spanish Inquisition have replaced Protestant intollerance, with auto dafès in every town and city ? Considering what happened in Germany only 13 years later, resulting in thirty years of civil and religious war, one must fear that the same may well have happened in England, Scotland and Ireland.

    I find it something like one of those things seeing history on this side of the road and trying to understand it is one thing. But without living at that time it is something else. If you know what the Jesuits were doing in Protestant countries and how they infiltrated and attempted to foment people to try and force a loyalty to Rome that would mean a monarch standing in the snow barefoot for hours until the Pope might want to speak with them. That is also a reality that can be ignored if your only looking at it from one side and from the point of view of people living today with the way our contemporary view is right now.

    I always thought it was odd that Guy Fawkes was the one remembered and burned in effigy up to this month November 5th 2023, and not Catesby the actual ring leader of the plot. I assume it’s because Fawkes was captured first and then tortured before allegedly ‘committing suicide’ (a huge catholic sin) rather than being killed brutally like the others. I say allegedly because he may have just been so weak and delirious that he didn’t know what he was doing - suicide was a mortal sin in the Catholic faith and still is, so it would be an unusual act from a confirmed Catholic ready to die for his faith…..Also, Catesby was already dead having been shot at Holbrook and wasn’t in public view at the end. So Guy Fawkes’ name lives on in infamy and yet most of us are sympathetic to his end, the plotting Salisbury who wanted a major ‘win’ from the King, by seemingly foiling the plotters and saving the life of King James and everyone who was supposed to be killed in Parliament that day. Salisbury isn’t hated enough for his secret ‘management’ of the plot and ensuring that it continued when it would seemingly have petered out. I was confirmed by the previous Bishop of Canterbury when I was a child here in Wales and he was the Bishop of Llandaff Cathedral in Cardiff but I’m now an atheist. I have Catholic friends, Muslim friends etc and I respect all of their faiths. We no longer burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes, as I don’t like the symbolism. We used to have bonfires as children but we rarely had a ‘Guy’…. I’ve explained the history to my sons and we just have fireworks and mainly because we enjoy them and not because of any symbolism. They agree that burning Guy Fawkes is morally ambiguous at best, and even burning a ‘Catesby’ instead wouldn’t be right in modern times, if we did do it it would be out of respect for the sheer audacity of the plotters and the risk they all took for their faith, an administration for those who try but fail, it’s a British thing ! You’re symbolically burning Catholics because of a difference in faith and we don’t do that now. We judge people on their character and deeds and not on their beliefs. If you asked most people about Bonfire Night they’d tell you that they do it for fun and nothing else, there may be a vague reference to Guy Fawkes but nothing else. We love large bonfires in the cold and fireworks lighting up the sky, and that’s it…

    The arrival of the Scottish King James I on the throne, initially brought new hope for the Catholics. One of Elizabeth's courtesans, when James came to the throne said "It's a new world, each new reign is a new world and it's a new world that offers opportunities and everybody saw an opportunity in James, people were actually fed up with Elizabeth, now why should a Catholic see an opportunity in James, well remember who James is. He is the son of Mary Queen of Scotts, the woman who is it were Elizabeth's great opponent is the hope of all Catholicism in England, is the woman whom all those plotters under Elizabeth Riddolph (inaudible) had plotted already to actually hope to put on the throne. 6:33 James her son is now King. It's easy to see why they hoped, it's easy to see of course how James in some ways quite cynically encouraged those hopes, he is anxious to get as broad a base of support as possibly in England. If he can offer them little bit, if he can take a few onto the council and admit a few more onto the court, even organize a sort of religious conference that seems to hold up the prospect of accomadation everybody says 'splendid'. 7:00 - He does exactly the same with the other religious sects tree with the Puritans, again theres a westminister for conference as the attempt at accomodating everybody.

    I find the skewed narration decidedly and distressingly anti-Catholic. Henry VIII is portrayed as “reasonable” for wanting to divorce Queen Katherine for “not providing him with a male heir” when that is absolute bollocks! Every male baby Henry sired died before their majority. HENRY failed, not Katherine. And painting Queen Mary as the cliche of “Bloody Mary” as the royal religious fanatic completely negates the constant profligate execution of religious dissidents during Henry’s ambiguous reign over the Church of England. He murdered thousands after the Pilgrimage of Grace. The latter part of his reign was utterly terrifying for every noble serving him including Queen Catherine Parr. Edward would probably have murdered as many catholics as Elizabeth I did if he had survived. The entire Tudor dynasty was riddled with religious fanaticism irregardless of their pro or anti protestant leanings!
