I know of no reason why the 27 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: Gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. Guy Fox and his 28 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: companions did the scheme contrive to blow the king in 29 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: Parliament all up alive, three score barrels laid below to 30 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: prove Old England's overthrow.

So that's a poem from like early speaking. 40 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: There it is like the nineteenth century officially, and it's 41 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: a poem that often most people know the first few 42 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: lines of and mainly because of the graphic novel and 43 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: subsequent movie V for Vendetta, in which a man in 44 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: a Guy Fox mask brings down an evil dystopian theocracy. 45 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: There's also that line often referenced by anarchists that the 46 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: last person to enter parliament with honest intentions was Guy Fox. Unfortunately, 47 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: over the years many have forgotten what those intentions were, 48 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: because Guy Fox wasn't just trying to destroy an evil theocracy, 49 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: he was also trying to install one. But before we 50 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: get into Guy Fox and the gunpowder plot, we need 51 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: to lip into some context. If you're from the UK 52 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: or any neighboring lands, then you may be well acquainted 53 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: with Bonfire Night or Guy Fox Knight, or even just 54 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: Fireworks Night, so called because there would be bonfires and fireworks. 55 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: As you can see, will really good at naming things, 56 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: like the river Avon, which just means river river. That 57 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,679 Speaker 1: being said, the Sahara Desert is also just desert desert, 58 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: as is Gobi desert, which is desert desert. Like yeah, yeah, 59 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: we just we just name things as we see. A 60 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: ron sealed diamond cult does exactly what it does in 61 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: the tin. So yes, I don't even know if this 62 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: is still a thing, because there would be bonfires and 63 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,679 Speaker 1: fireworks and there would also be like effigies and effigy 64 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 1: of fox which would be bunned atop the bonfire. And 65 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: like when when I was wee, and I know this 66 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: used to be a thing for many people. Is you 67 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: would make an effigy, like lots of kids would do this, 68 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: and it would be like a guy fox type scarecrow, 69 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: and you'd go around, usually with a wheelbarrel, because that's 70 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: the easiest thing to transport a body in, I mean 71 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: a effigy, and so you'd dress up in like clothes 72 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 1: and you would go in being like penny for the 73 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: guy and get people to give you like pennies. And 74 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: so you collect all these pennies and go down to 75 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: the corner shop and spend it all on like handfuls 76 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: of sweets like cola cubes or ooh, I'm trying to 77 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: think of sweets from the sweet shop, lemon drops, the 78 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: other suites from thee all day time. Licorice man, I 79 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: love licorice, red licorice, actual licorice. I actually just sent 80 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: a friend the little care package with stuff in it, 81 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: and just for laws, I put in licorice all sorts, 82 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: because I genuinely don't know if that's a thing where 83 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: they are, and I thought, just for shits and giggles, 84 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: let's send this, because if it's not a thing, they're 85 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: going to be so disgusted with me. Anyway, Before Bonfile 86 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: Night became a thing, the holiday was originally passed by 87 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: Parliament known as the Thanksgiving Act. The motion, called the 88 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: Observance of the Fifth of November Act, decreed that ministers 89 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: in every cathedral and parish church or usual place for 90 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: common prayer, shall always, upon the fifth day of November 91 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: say morning prayer and give unto Almighty God thanks for 92 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: this most happy deliverance. Basically, it's a church service every 93 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: year to ensure that no one forget that. An attempt 94 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: to revolt and overthrow the king and government failed and 95 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: everyone involved was very harshly punished. But why would someone 96 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: want to blow up the king in parliament? Well, I'm 97 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: glad you asked, because I'll tell you so. It all 98 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: starts with King Henry the eighth, because of course it does, 99 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: which I think I discussed this way back in episodes 100 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: I want to say between thirteen and eighteen, which cover 101 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: these six wives of Henry the Eighth, so like one 102 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: episode per wife. You see it more in the first 103 00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: couple of episodes in the first couple of wives. And yeah, Henry, 104 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: if you don't know who that is, King of England, 105 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: and he believes in the divine right of kings, so 106 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: he believes that he is sitting upon the throne by 107 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: the determination of God. Right, God has decided that he 108 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: should be the monarch and must rule. So he's also 109 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: self obsessed, narcissistic and went off the handle whenever he 110 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: was told no or in any situation where he did 111 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: not have full control, just like when he wanted to divorce, 112 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: I said divorce when he wanted to annul the marriage 113 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: from his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, because they had 114 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: a daughter and no living sons, like he had illegitimate 115 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 1: sons from all of his horn about but no legitimate 116 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: male heir for the line of succession because the qualifications 117 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: to run a country from the testicles. Catherine's nephew was 118 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: the Holy Roman Emperor, and he, along with the pope 119 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: at the time, did not want the royal marriage annulled. 120 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: Because here's the thing as well. Right for Catherine, if 121 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: the marriage was annulled, her daughter with Henry Mary right, 122 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,079 Speaker 1: she would become illegitimate, and she was not having that right. 123 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: But Henry, he really really really really really wanted to 124 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: shag Anne Boleyn, and he really wanted a legitimate heir. 125 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: And Anne Boleyn was not about to knock boots with 126 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: it all wringing her finger because Anne, I'm cliff notes 127 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: than this year Anne was evangelical, and I will argue 128 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: one of the two decent evangelicals in history, the other 129 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: being abolitionist John Brown. The Catholic Church refuses to annull 130 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: Henry's first marriage, and so he makes a new religion, 131 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: a better one with black Jack in Hookers. No, so 132 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: he makes himself the head of the Anglican Church, which 133 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: is effectively just Catholicism liked so anyway, this break from 134 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: the Catholic Church and the attempted conversion of the entire 135 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: country to the Protestant Church of England, of which Henry 136 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: was now the supreme head of led to decades slash 137 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: centuries of sectarian tension. Like he was going absolutely wild, 138 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: right ordering Catholic churches and the like to be sacked 139 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: and heretics burned at the stake. So anyone who believed 140 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: in the religion that they had had their entire life 141 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: and continued to believe in that faith, and anyone who 142 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: practiced that faith like monks, priests, so on and so forth. Right, 143 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 1: he is, well, yeah, I say people burned at the stake. Yeah. 144 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: And when his Edward the sixth, when he takes the throne, 145 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: guided by his advisers, he continues this religious persecution. Now 146 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: when Edward croaks it and his older sister Mary the 147 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: first ascends to the throne. Right, Well, Jane was queen 148 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: for like nine days, Lady Jane Gray, and she was Protestant, 149 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: and they're like she's gonna be the next one. And 150 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: Mary just like rides in. She's like not in, you'l nelly, 151 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 1: And she has such support, like just for being Mary, 152 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: because her mum was super loved by the whole country. 153 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: And again, all this badge happened after the whole you know, 154 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: religious break. So Mary the first one, she ascends to 155 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 1: the throne, she is super Catholic, and the persecution flips 156 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: the other way. Although I will note that comparatively and 157 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: I feel we need to take this on board. She 158 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: executed way less people during her reign than her father 159 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: or either of her siblings. Right, she's called bloody Mary, 160 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: but she didn't like murder even ratio wise as many 161 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: people as everybody else. Like, still not cool to burn 162 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: people at the stake for heresy, but also she did 163 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: it less than the rest, like m So next the 164 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: next one in line. Because Mary dies without an heir, 165 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: she doesn't have any children, so her younger sister, Queen 166 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: Elizabeth the first. She's Protestant, and so the scales tip again, 167 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: and her response to the growing religious divide in England 168 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: is to introduce the Elizabethan Religious Settlement, which meant that 169 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: anyone appointed to an official position, either in church or 170 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: public office, had to swear allegiance to the monarch as 171 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: the head of the church and state. So basically, if 172 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: you wanted to have any job of importance, any standing, 173 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: you would have to swear, basically publicly swear that you 174 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: believed that the monarch was the head of the church. 175 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: And so you're basically announcing that you're Protestant effectively, right, 176 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: And anyone who was Catholic would then not have these 177 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: same opportunities or have those same powers. So it basically 178 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: creates this divide, not just not just for religious reasons, 179 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: but it also affects class because it means that people 180 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: lose authority and lose power. So the penalty for not 181 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: swearing Fieldy were harsh. They were finds if you refused, 182 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: and repeat offenders were in prison or this may shock 183 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 1: you executed. And so English Catholics they struggled in the 184 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: society with Catholicism becoming more and more marginalized, and those 185 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: practicing Catholicism they shrunk in numbers, and this sort of 186 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: created little pockets and places. So the areas in which 187 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: Catholicism was being practiced was mainly in remote areas out 188 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: with London, with many priests and laymen practicing their religion 189 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: in secret because you know, punishment death, so much death 190 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: like that was on the cards for you, like and 191 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: so many Catholics they were optimistic, I'm going to say, 192 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: and they believed that when King James the sixth of Scotland, 193 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: first of England, when he sat upon the English throne, 194 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: that he he would be more lenient towards the Catholic minority. 195 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: And one of the reasons like this was like a 196 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: concept for a lot of people was because his mother 197 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: was Mary, Queen of Scott's, who was Catholic, and so 198 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: it was assumed by a lot of the English Catholics 199 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: that he would be more benevolent. Right, however, right, if 200 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: you've listened to any tale in which James has been mentioned, 201 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: we all know that leniency is not something he's known for. 202 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: Like the man didn't do things by halves. He personally 203 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: tried women for witchcraft because the sea was rocky. He 204 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: commissioned Bible fan fiction and had it published, and he 205 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: dissolved parliament for not being nice to his boyfriend twice 206 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: see throughout Elizabeth the first Reign. The execution of Catholic 207 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: priests was common, like very common, and James had written 208 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:21,479 Speaker 1: that he wished for priests to be exiled instead of executed, 209 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: Like he writes this letter and effectively says that I 210 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: would like them to be sent away with both their 211 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: head and their body. So like, let's not cut off 212 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: their heads, you know, let's send them away, and that 213 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: is better than murder, you know, it's like banishment or murder. 214 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: These are options, and so yeah, people were optimistic, they're thinking, oh, 215 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: he's like tread in the water. He's gonna be, you know, 216 00:16:54,960 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: less murderous. And this was already good. But then to 217 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: add on top of that, after his coronation in July 218 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: sixteen oh three, James said that he would pardon the 219 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: Fintains against recusance. So recusants are those who would not 220 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 1: recognize the monarch as the head of the church. So 221 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: he was going to pardon any finds for a full year. However, 222 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: that lasted a couple of months, well seven months actually, 223 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: and in February sixteen oh four, James makes a public 224 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: declaration that he has and this is a quote, an 225 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: utter detestation of Catholicism. Yep, so let me make that 226 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: more Scottish, an under detestation of Catholicism. This is swiftly 227 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: followed by a repeal of the order of pardoning of 228 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: the recusant fins and after religious tolerance being snatched away, 229 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:15,719 Speaker 1: after being dangled in front of them, Unsurprisingly, the Catholics 230 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: are a bit ticked off. And when I say ticked off, 231 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: what I mean is the British Catholics were pissed. They 232 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: had spent so long, nearly half a century, suffering religious persecution, 233 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,239 Speaker 1: and here they were deceived by the very king that 234 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: they had placed their faith in. This lay their faith 235 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: in God and not monarchies. Okay, I could n't help myself, 236 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: but this betrayal led to more shuffling back into the dark, 237 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: praying in secret and hiding their religion, at least for 238 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: the mature. But like many groups suffering from years of oppression, 239 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: a splinter group forms and they have decided that enough 240 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: is enough. On the twentieth of May sixteen oh four, 241 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 1: a group of men meet at a pub and they 242 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: share a table at the Duck and Drake in in London. 243 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: This group of men were determined to make a change 244 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: and take matters into their own hands. The instigator of 245 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: this group was Robert Catesby, a Catholic fanatic. And that's 246 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 1: not really surprising when we see that it's over and 247 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: over again, right when marginalized communities are victims of oppression. 248 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: While some cower went back into a corner, others attack, 249 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: like they go straight for the jugular. Katsby is one 250 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: of those people, and like, remember this is action reaction, 251 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: This is a response. This just didn't happen in nowhere, 252 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: Like this is a group of people who have decided 253 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: that this is the only course of action left. And 254 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: you'll see this happen over and over again when the 255 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: boot is on the neck, like what do you do? 256 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: So Robert Katsby, he's the charismatic radical ringleader who had 257 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: seen his father persecuted under Elizabeth the I's government, and 258 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: Katsby himself had been imprisoned and fined for joining the 259 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: uprising of Robert Devereux, the second Earl of Essex. Now 260 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: after being released like mean, I mean, he doesn't even 261 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: hide what he's trying to do. He's just very openly 262 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: going fuck you. So like after he's released, he promoted 263 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 1: a Spanish invasion of England, which shockingly put him in 264 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: prison again. So he's back in the clink in sixteen 265 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: oh three, which is just before Queen Elizabeth the First's death, 266 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: and it's here that he conceived the plot to destroy 267 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: not only the king but the government too by placing 268 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: gunpowder under the Parliament building and blowing it up. Was 269 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: it because it was a convenient way to kill many 270 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: at once, or was it maybe a nod to the 271 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: death of James's father, Lord Darnley, Whom's to say Kidsby's 272 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: second in command was his cousin Thomas Winter, who was 273 00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: initially reluctant to join this plot, was introduced to this 274 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: plan by a crazy, random happenstance. Upon visiting his cousin 275 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: in Lambeth. He had inadvertently walked in on a meeting 276 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: with another conspirator, John Right. Sometimes you'll see John's name 277 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: written as Jack, And that's because Jack is a nickname 278 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: for John. Like the visit this happens, Okay, It's like 279 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: Harry is how you pronounce Henry? Like it's a very 280 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 1: very weird thing. Names the English language, Does it make sense? No, 281 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: that's because English is four languages in a trench go 282 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:48,479 Speaker 1: following rules of some Germanic languages and other like Latin 283 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: in French and other ones. Na Thomas Wonta. He was apprehensive. 284 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: He was apprehensive that such an extreme would have incredibly 285 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: terrible repercussions if the plot failed, and as a result, 286 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: British Catholics would be further persecuted. He's like, this is 287 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: a good plan. I'm not saying it's not a good plan. 288 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, have we considered the possibility of things 289 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: going awry and everyone suffering. I just want to I 290 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: just want to float the idea. So he is. He 291 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: is a little bit catie to begin with, but his 292 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: cousin's charm won him over, and within a few weeks 293 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: Thomas Winder was setting sail to Spain in the hope 294 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: of recruiting aid for this zealous cause. The Spanish, however, 295 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: politely declined to acquiesce with their requests. But over there 296 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,959 Speaker 1: he did meet someone who would aid in the plot, 297 00:23:54,880 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: a soldier named Guido Fox, who will get back to 298 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: in a moment, John who was also sitting at the table, 299 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: John Wright. He was a swordsman who had actually gone 300 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: to school with Guy Fox in York. He along with 301 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: his brother Christopher, who would join the plot later, were 302 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: imprisoned for their involvement in the Earl of Essex rebellion 303 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: as well. So it's like six degrees of Kevin Bacon here, 304 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: Like they're all connected through like one way or the other. 305 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: And they're all Catholic, which I feel like is the 306 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 1: important part here as well. So the fifth and final 307 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: man at the table was Thomas Percy, who was John 308 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: Wright's brother in law. Like I said, they're all connected. 309 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: Percy is an interesting one. His second cousin, once removed, 310 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: was Henry Percy, the ninth Earl of Northumberland, and he 311 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: served the Earl in the Law countries, the Low Countries. 312 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:08,199 Speaker 1: It's okay, geography is political, it's not actually geographical, especially 313 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: when you're talking about countries. So the Low Countries at 314 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 1: this point basically is round about Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, 315 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 1: so aroundabout there. So he's selling the Earl down in 316 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: the Low Countries, and he's running communications between the Earl 317 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 1: and King James the sixth of Scotland. So like before 318 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 1: he was actually on the English throne. So he's got 319 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: this connection to these people. He's known and he's respected. 320 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,959 Speaker 1: Now some of these people are like secretly Catholic and 321 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 1: others are very blatantly Catholic. Now Guy Fox the one 322 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: that everyone knows the name of and knows very little about. 323 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: He was born around April and fifteen seventy to Edward 324 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 1: and Edith Fox in Stonegate in York. He was the 325 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: second of four children that the couple had together. He 326 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: had an older sister who passed away and he would 327 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: go on to have two younger sisters, so Edward he 328 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 1: was a church lawyer and a staunch Protestant. Meanwhile, Edith's 329 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: family were secret Catholics. So when Edward dies and Edward 330 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,719 Speaker 1: is a relatively decent man of means, he's a loyal 331 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: and he's like super Protestant. So for a while Edith 332 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,719 Speaker 1: is doing well, She's well taken care of, you know, 333 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: all of the inheritance, all of the lands. It goes 334 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: to the oldest son, so it goes to Guy. But 335 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: because she's his mother and he's only eight, she's she's 336 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: doing okay for a while. So over the next few 337 00:26:55,400 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: years things are, things are fine. But the actually Edith 338 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: remarries and she makes the very deliberate decision to marry 339 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: the Catholic Diana's Bainbridge of Harrogate. So it's a few 340 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: years later. I think he's like twelve when she remarries, 341 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: which I think is fairly close to him becoming man 342 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 1: age back in the day. Now he's lived this life, 343 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: he's lived with his mother and now she's remarried this 344 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 1: Catholic man, and so Guy Fox he conferts to Catholicism 345 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 1: when his mother remarried, and he ends up going to 346 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: Saint Peter's School, in York, and this is governed by 347 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: a man who had spent twenty years in prison for Recusancay. 348 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,479 Speaker 1: And like other peoples in this school, like it was 349 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: a very Catholic school, Like other peoples would go on 350 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: to become priests, many of whom would be executed during 351 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 1: Elizabeth's reign. And like he saw suffering in his community 352 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 1: growing up. He saw anyone who was, you know, a recusant, 353 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: or anyone who was harboring priests, like hiding them for 354 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: their safety. Like he watched his pregnant neighbor become pressed 355 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: to death, like he watched the stones crush her body 356 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: while she was pregnant, because this didn't matter. And and 357 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: like this is a time as well, like sidebar where 358 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 1: you know, the quickening would have had to occur, which 359 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: basically means you had to like be obviously pregnant, you know, 360 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: past that like three month mark, because otherwise they wouldn't 361 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: believe it. It's like a whole thing. Now. When Guy 362 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: leaves school, he you know, he tries to get on 363 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: with his life, and he ends up working for both 364 00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: Viscount Montague's, the first and the second. The older one 365 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: doesn't really like him. The second one thinks he's fighting, 366 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: but eventually he's like, fuck this for a game of soldiers, 367 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: and he decides he wants to get away. He wants 368 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: to get away, he wants to fly away. Well sale, 369 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: he wants to sail away. Because by the time he's 370 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: twenty one, he decides to sell the lands that he 371 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: has inherited from his father and bugger off to the continent. 372 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: So he goes to Spain and he joined the military 373 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: of Catholic Spain, fighting against the new Dutch Republic in 374 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: the Eight Years' War. Bear in mind, the Spanish Armada 375 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: was only five years previous, and so Spain and England 376 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: they were still at war, and he's gone over there 377 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: to fight for the Spanish. So he fought for Spain 378 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: for three years as an Alpharez, and by all accounts 379 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: he was a good and very zealous like super Catholic. 380 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: So when Thomas Windell came looking for aid, Guido as 381 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: he was then called, because that was now his Spanish name, 382 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: he was ready for action. And so as the five 383 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: men agreed to this plot in this Duck and Drake 384 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: in they passed a small prayer book to one another, 385 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: and each of them swore upon it. In the next room, 386 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: a priest was holding a secret Sunday Catholic Mass, and 387 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: so the men took Holy Communion and took the sacrament 388 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: to be a sign that God was on their side. 389 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: They ran a mission from God. Each man at the table, 390 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: the Duck and Drake in the very fashionable strand in London. 391 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: Each one had their own task to help the plan progress, 392 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: but it was really Thomas Percy's promotion that would get 393 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: the ball rolling. In June of sixteen oh four, Thomas 394 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: Percy was given the title of gentleman pensioner, which doesn't 395 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: mean that he's some fancy old fellow politely offering everyone 396 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: a silk handkerchief or a weatherer's original. No. This put 397 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: him in the prime position of being a bodyguard for 398 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: the Earl of Northumberland. As one of the Earl's fifty 399 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: or so bodyguards. This gave Thomas Percy a perfectly valid 400 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: reason to found himself a permanent address in the city 401 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: of London, with a fixed abode in the nation's capital. 402 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: The conspiring Catholics now had a base of operations, and 403 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: Thomas Percy of some standing, little standing, but some as 404 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: a bodyguard to the earl. Now, what kind of man 405 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: of some little bit some standing would not have a servant? 406 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: Like everybody had a servant, Like like you'd have to 407 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: be a servant to not have a servant, Like that's 408 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: why people collected orphans. They're like they're really good at 409 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: scrubbing corners and sleeping chimneys. So he hires Thomas Percy. 410 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: He hires Guy Fox to be his servant, although he 411 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: does it under a fake name. They're they're you know, 412 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: and and what alias did this seasoned soldier provide? John Johnson? Okay, 413 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's about as believable as like Jan's boyfriend 414 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: George Tropicana. Like that sounds like a name that you 415 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: make up, like under pressure, or like what's your name 416 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 1: John Johnson? Like that's not a name that you just 417 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: think long and hard about, Like what is a reasonable 418 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: logical name John Johnson? Like John Smith would have been better, 419 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: like John Smith, although they would have been like what 420 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: are you a smith of? But yeah, wow, wow, A 421 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: funny thing about the name John Smith is like years 422 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: ago because John Smith is seen as such a fake name. 423 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: Because okay, so in the UK there are side sidebar. 424 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: In the UK, there are common surnames. The three most 425 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: common surnames I know it used to be Smith, Jones, 426 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: and Brown, like those were the top three. I think 427 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,239 Speaker 1: they sort of wiggled a little now, But for a 428 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: long time, like Smith, Jones, and Around were the most 429 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: common sun names. And these were so common that if 430 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 1: you were filling out a form on the Internet and 431 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 1: you put in the name John Smith, it would not 432 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: accept you, like, it would not accept your name, so 433 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: you would have to be like John J. Smith or 434 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: Johnny Smith, like, you would have to change it in 435 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 1: some way because a lot of the forms would just 436 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 1: assume you're using an alias, a fake name, and John 437 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: Smith for a while became like a known alias that 438 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: people would use. But yes, the dastard, lake clever name 439 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: John Johnson. Now, now I am making fun of this 440 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: a bit, but it does have like a hint of 441 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: like when Lucille fell Lassa changed her name to Joan Crawford, right, 442 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: Lucille to Joan. Okay, now that I'm dismissing any John's 443 00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: out there. I'm sure you're lovely, but you know so 444 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 1: it was all about making your sound more normal. And 445 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 1: I suppose if your name is Guido Fox, you're like, yeah, 446 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: John Johnson seems like a perfectly reasonable English name. So there, 447 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: over the next eight months they are recruiting, they are planning, 448 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: and they are saving their ducats like they are saving 449 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: money because by March in sixteen oh five, the crew 450 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: had managed to accrue just enough cash to lease a 451 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 1: storage seller in the undercroft well. It was conveniently located. 452 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: One it was a short distance from Thomas Percy's home, 453 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: and two it was directly underneath the Palace of Westminster. 454 00:35:55,520 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: So you may be wondering, delicious friend, but how all right, 455 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: so Westminster now is quite different to Westminster. Then they've 456 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: definitely buffed up the security a wee bit. But I 457 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: mean that being said, they do still have the underground 458 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: tunnel which leads from Parliament to the pub right, the 459 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 1: not so secret tunnel that we all know about, but 460 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 1: we're not allowed to use because we're not members of Parliament. No, anyway, 461 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 1: back in the seventeenth century, it wasn't just like the 462 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 1: House of Parliament, no, no, no, no. Now, it was 463 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: a collection of taverns, shops and homes like there were 464 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: private apartments there, like it was all like businesses and 465 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: shops and loads of stuff was happening there, and so 466 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: underneath in the undercroft there were loads of like sellers 467 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: and these were being rented out for like storage solutions. 468 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 1: So because of where they were located, it would have 469 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: been mighty pricey to rent in the undercroft, but it 470 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: was not impossible. And a respectable man who works for 471 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 1: another respectable man, he hired a cellar for storage which 472 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 1: his servant will keep stocked up. Nothing suspicious or untoward 473 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:38,319 Speaker 1: here at all, And yes, John Johnson then spends the 474 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 1: next four months stocking the cellar up with barrels and 475 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:48,240 Speaker 1: barrels of gunpowder, thirty six barrels in total, right, carefully 476 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:53,360 Speaker 1: hidden under firewood. So they've just got these like bundles 477 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,800 Speaker 1: of firewood and they've got the barrels just like hidden 478 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:06,800 Speaker 1: underneath the flamma object. But anyway, so basically they managed 479 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: to acquire twenty barrels to begin with, so like between 480 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 1: March and May they basically have thirty barrels, and then 481 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 1: they get sixteen more, so they're getting ready for July. 482 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 1: So you've got thirty six barrels in total, carefully hidden 483 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 1: under all this like bundles of firewood. Because Parliament was 484 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 1: supposed to go back into session in July, but gosh 485 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 1: darn it, would you believe it? That pesky plague came 486 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 1: back and it pushed everything back a few months, and 487 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: so a new data set the fifth of November. So 488 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 1: during this time, because there wasn't really a lot to do, 489 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: and in the summer, the king's out hunting and doing 490 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 1: all his like stuff, hanging out with his boyfriend, you 491 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: know how it is, so so Fox, sorry Johnson, he 492 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: left the country for the summer, like he heads off somewhere. 493 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 1: We don't know where he went. We know he left, 494 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 1: we know he came back. And when he returns, he 495 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: realizes that like the gunpowder, because he checks on it 496 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,399 Speaker 1: because he's a soldier who's used to gunpowder and he's 497 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:27,840 Speaker 1: not a fucking idiot, And so he goes in there 498 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 1: and he realizes along with he's with someone else, with 499 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 1: another one of the conspirators, and they realize that some 500 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 1: of the gunpowder has rotted. And now we're like they 501 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 1: have acquired this gunpowder by not legal means, like they 502 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: have like some of it's come off the back of 503 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: a car. They've done a back alley dealer with somebody. 504 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's not surprising that some of this stuff 505 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,839 Speaker 1: wasn't up to snuff, and so they end up having 506 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 1: to replace like the barrels of gunpowder. So they end 507 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: up having to like smuggle in more because gunpowder, fun fact, decays. 508 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 1: Did you know that gunpowder can decay? It can, So, 509 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 1: I mean other people probably know this, but I don't 510 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time around gunpowder specifically. Yeah, unless 511 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 1: you include sparklers, like, because gunpowder the same material as 512 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: chemical or whatever it is, it's used in sparklers, and 513 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 1: so legally, like a firework, you cannot take a sparkler 514 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 1: on a plane. Now, I have never been silly enough 515 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 1: to try and take a sparkler on a plane, but 516 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 1: I do know someone who did try, and they were 517 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 1: going through security at the sidebar. They were going through 518 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,879 Speaker 1: security at the airport, and they were like, you can 519 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:05,359 Speaker 1: take this explosive item on the plane in your hand 520 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 1: luggage by the way, and they're like what, They're like, no, no, no, no, no, 521 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 1: so yes. So Parliament is due to return on the 522 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: fifth of November. It's going to go back into session. 523 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 1: It's going to be the opening of Parliament and everyone 524 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: has a role to play and they now had a 525 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: fully fledged plan. Guy Fox was to light a fuse 526 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: to set off the thirty six barrels of gunpowder on 527 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 1: the fifth of November when Parliament was in session or 528 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 1: like the whole opening thing, and like this would be 529 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,759 Speaker 1: attended by not only King James but his son and 530 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:57,479 Speaker 1: heir Charles, which for the record, they knew, all right, 531 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 1: they knew that he was going to be there, and 532 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,239 Speaker 1: they're well aware that a child prince was going to 533 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: be in attendance and they were going to blow it up. 534 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:13,280 Speaker 1: So Guido, you know, he was there to ignite the fuse. 535 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,239 Speaker 1: Then he was supposed to flee across the Thames River 536 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 1: and abscond to the continent to alert European Catholic leaders 537 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: of the deed. Meanwhile, Robert Keatsby and the followers he 538 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:32,239 Speaker 1: amassed would start a rebellion up in the Midlands, the 539 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:38,399 Speaker 1: purpose of which was to kidnap Princess Elizabeth, King James's daughter, right, 540 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,840 Speaker 1: the plan was to make her the Catholic monarch of 541 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 1: England and Scotland too, I guess, and so a Catholic 542 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,920 Speaker 1: ruled regime would begin. And so the plan was to 543 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 1: basically mold her into the perfect Catholic queen. The idea 544 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,399 Speaker 1: as well was to have the Earl of Northumberland act 545 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:07,880 Speaker 1: as her regent until she became of age, after which 546 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:12,720 Speaker 1: they would marry her to a very very super duper 547 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:19,839 Speaker 1: Catholic man, maybe from another nation, maybe from the home nation, 548 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,320 Speaker 1: not really relevant, just as long as he was Catholic, 549 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: and they were going to because Robert Catesby, he was fanatical, 550 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: he was severe in his beliefs, and so he wanted 551 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:43,320 Speaker 1: to do to Protestant people what had been happening to Catholics, 552 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 1: which is not an appropriate way to rule a country, 553 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 1: like just because someone's a different religion to you, even 554 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:59,120 Speaker 1: though Anglicanism and Catholicism or goodness, their brother and sister, 555 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:03,319 Speaker 1: you know, they're not twins, but they're siblings, I mean 556 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:08,280 Speaker 1: cousins at a push, but like they're very close. And anyway, 557 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:14,399 Speaker 1: sectarianism and other kind of religious you know, abuse, it's 558 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:18,759 Speaker 1: it's ridiculous, and punishing people because they follow a particular 559 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 1: faith is shitty really, but yes, what they wanted to 560 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 1: do was put into power a Catholic monarch that they 561 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:36,239 Speaker 1: could control and would basically reverse, you know, everything that 562 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:43,320 Speaker 1: happened over the past like half a century effectively. After 563 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,240 Speaker 1: a year and a half of planning, the gunpowder plot 564 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,840 Speaker 1: was finally coming to fruition, and they were days away 565 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 1: from achieving their goal of a Catholic dominated England. But 566 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: all their hard work would be snuffed out by a 567 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 1: man with cold feet and a letter. On the twenty 568 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:15,680 Speaker 1: sixth of October sixteen o five, a letter was delivered 569 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:20,840 Speaker 1: to the home of William Parker, Lord Monteagle. It is 570 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,880 Speaker 1: suspected that the letter was written by one of the conspirers. 571 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:33,440 Speaker 1: His brother in law, Francis Tresham, Lord mont Eagle, receives 572 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 1: this letter ten days before the coup is due to 573 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:42,399 Speaker 1: take place. It reads, my Lord, out of the love 574 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,200 Speaker 1: I bear to some of your friends, I have care 575 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:49,600 Speaker 1: of your preservation. Therefore I would advise you, as tender 576 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 1: your life, to devise some excuse to shift your attendants 577 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 1: at this parliament. For God and man hath concurred to 578 00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:03,000 Speaker 1: punish the wickedness of this time, and think not slightly 579 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 1: of this advertisement. But retire yourself into your country, where 580 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,839 Speaker 1: you may expect the event in safety. For though there 581 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,960 Speaker 1: is no appearance of any stir yet I say they 582 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 1: shall receive a terrible blow this Parliament, and yet they 583 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:24,160 Speaker 1: shall not see who hurts them. This council is not 584 00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,680 Speaker 1: to be condemned, because it may do you good and 585 00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,920 Speaker 1: can do you no harm. For the danger is passed 586 00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,839 Speaker 1: as soon as you have burnt the letter, and I 587 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,399 Speaker 1: hope God will give you the goose to make good 588 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,799 Speaker 1: use of it, to whose holy protection I commend you. 589 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:48,040 Speaker 1: So that is the Mount Eagle letter, and it basically says, 590 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:56,040 Speaker 1: don't go, stuff's gonna blow and also burn. After reading now, 591 00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,520 Speaker 1: Lord Mountago, he is understandingly a bit taken aback by 592 00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:03,320 Speaker 1: this lets and so just in case, just in case, 593 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:09,799 Speaker 1: he travels to Whitehall and hands the letter to the 594 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:16,600 Speaker 1: Earl of Salisbury. So like he's like, nope, nope, off 595 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:21,000 Speaker 1: I go. So instead of doing as the letter suggests, 596 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,279 Speaker 1: he's like, no, I got to I got to tell 597 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,920 Speaker 1: somebody about this, Like this is why we don't tell 598 00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,319 Speaker 1: men's secrets. They can't hold them, like they just can't 599 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:33,319 Speaker 1: hold their water. So the letter goes to the Earl 600 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:38,239 Speaker 1: of Salisbury, who then told the Earl of Worcester, and 601 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:42,759 Speaker 1: then Henry Howard, the first Earl of Northampton. Right, so 602 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 1: he goes through all of these like this letter has 603 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 1: been passed from pillar to post and everybody is hearing 604 00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 1: all about it. Right. Meanwhile, Montego's servant, he sends word 605 00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:59,279 Speaker 1: back to the Right brothers that they had been betrayed. 606 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:05,840 Speaker 1: And so for the next ten days, everyone's on edge. Right, 607 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:11,880 Speaker 1: So word is going here and there, but currently no 608 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:17,000 Speaker 1: one has told the king, right, the paranoid convinced everyone 609 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:23,880 Speaker 1: is out to get him king. So you've got people being, 610 00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,080 Speaker 1: you know, worried, like this information is out, how far 611 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,719 Speaker 1: has it gone? Do they note we're actually going to do, 612 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:36,960 Speaker 1: Like there's a threat? What's the threat? And so they 613 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:38,719 Speaker 1: don't know how to trust, they don't know how big 614 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,840 Speaker 1: of a leak it is, and everyone is in danger. 615 00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:47,760 Speaker 1: So like there was a conversation amongst like the Big Five. 616 00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:52,480 Speaker 1: They were trying to decide like should we worn like 617 00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,799 Speaker 1: this person's relatives, should we try and get people not 618 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:59,200 Speaker 1: to go, like let's have them feign an injury or something. 619 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 1: And this other person took matters into their own hands. 620 00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:12,279 Speaker 1: And Thomas wint right, he is absolutely bricking it, and 621 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,600 Speaker 1: he tries to convince Robert Caatsby to abandon the whole thing, 622 00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:22,480 Speaker 1: but like Caatsby, he is a dog with a bone, right, like, 623 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,719 Speaker 1: he's so close to his goal and there was no 624 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:29,120 Speaker 1: way he's given up now. And so on the evening 625 00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:33,520 Speaker 1: on the fourth of November, still steadfast in their beliefs, 626 00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:37,600 Speaker 1: Katsby and John Wright the Swordsman, they rode off to 627 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 1: the Midlands, ready to kick off the rebellion the very 628 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:50,280 Speaker 1: next day. But back in London, cracks were forming because 629 00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:55,040 Speaker 1: although not originally informed of the letter, King James would 630 00:49:55,080 --> 00:50:00,560 Speaker 1: know about it by November first, and after going about 631 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:04,360 Speaker 1: it for four days, the paranoid king, who was no 632 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:08,239 Speaker 1: stranger to attempts on his life, had ordered guards to 633 00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:13,160 Speaker 1: search the entire Palace of Westminster for anything that could 634 00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:18,759 Speaker 1: cause the Mount Eagles blow to Parliament. Now because he 635 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 1: got this letter in the Tower of London, like, he 636 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,960 Speaker 1: ends up being locked away because they're like, you had 637 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:28,759 Speaker 1: something to do with this, and he's like, I warned people. Now, 638 00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:33,359 Speaker 1: remember there's the sellar in the undercroft being rented by 639 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:37,560 Speaker 1: Thomas Percy. Like, so they're going through all of these 640 00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:41,000 Speaker 1: areas and they're going through these old storage units basically 641 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:46,399 Speaker 1: in the undercroft, and so the officials they see these 642 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:50,120 Speaker 1: bundles and bundles of firewood stacked up hi like all 643 00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:55,880 Speaker 1: the way to the ceiling, and they're like, okay, sure, 644 00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:02,360 Speaker 1: you know, like you can rationalize like and bundles of firewood. 645 00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:08,800 Speaker 1: So like it's it's weird, right, it's not it's not usual, 646 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 1: but it it's fine because you know, it's November. It's cold, 647 00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:20,799 Speaker 1: like by midwinter, it's so cold that the Thames freezes 648 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:24,040 Speaker 1: over like back then, not now because we have global warming, 649 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:30,200 Speaker 1: So like they can rationalize a ridiculous amount of firewood. 650 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:35,640 Speaker 1: And that's like when they're down there, they see John Johnson, 651 00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:41,839 Speaker 1: who's you know, like dumb be suspicious, dumb beasuspacious, dumb 652 00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:45,719 Speaker 1: basis spicious, dumb beerri subspecious, dom Basi suspicious. So he's 653 00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,799 Speaker 1: just there and they're like, oh, that's a servant and 654 00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:56,680 Speaker 1: his you know, master's storage area. Again, perfectly reasonable, okay, 655 00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,759 Speaker 1: now because he just looks like a servant, right, he 656 00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,080 Speaker 1: doesn't look any which way. I mean, he does have 657 00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:08,160 Speaker 1: ginger hair and go tea and partly fairly muscly. He's 658 00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,840 Speaker 1: quite robust, which is probably what you want in a 659 00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:18,879 Speaker 1: servant or a soldier. So it's it's this where they're 660 00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:22,239 Speaker 1: kind of like, okay, so they leave and then they 661 00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:26,879 Speaker 1: discover whose storage unit it is, and so they come 662 00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:31,360 Speaker 1: back later on right, this is nighttime, early hours of 663 00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:36,759 Speaker 1: the morning, right, so well late on November fourth, And 664 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:41,719 Speaker 1: so when the officials come back, right when they have 665 00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:45,240 Speaker 1: copped on that this is Thomas Percy's seller, a man 666 00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:49,560 Speaker 1: who knows Mount Eagle but also is known to have 667 00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:54,680 Speaker 1: Catholic sympathies, and what do you know? He hal's his servant. 668 00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,640 Speaker 1: And they're like hello and loll, what have we got 669 00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:03,239 Speaker 1: here then? And so they roll a perception check and 670 00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:07,239 Speaker 1: they noticed that Percy's servant has had a costume change 671 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:13,600 Speaker 1: since seeing him earlier. He's now in riding clothes. So like, bit, 672 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,439 Speaker 1: where are you going? Right? He is wearing clothes that's 673 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,880 Speaker 1: designed for him to get up and go, you know, 674 00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:25,080 Speaker 1: because you would have different clothes like for these specific 675 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,640 Speaker 1: things back in the day, like there wasn't a huge 676 00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:35,440 Speaker 1: amount of outfit changes for like certain people, but traveling 677 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:40,400 Speaker 1: clothes like for riding, Yeah, yeah, you'd have something very different, 678 00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:43,000 Speaker 1: and it would be very obvious as to what this was. 679 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:49,160 Speaker 1: So again they've rolled in that twenty and upon this person, 680 00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:53,520 Speaker 1: they have discovered a watch, so clearly he's keeping an 681 00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:59,520 Speaker 1: eye on the time, and big fuck off matches right 682 00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:05,359 Speaker 1: hidden in his cloak, and these are long matches, and 683 00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:08,680 Speaker 1: so they're looking at the matches, and they're looking at 684 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:14,440 Speaker 1: the massive piles of wood, and they're thinking fire obviously, 685 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,279 Speaker 1: and you know, it's ticking a while. It's ticking, it's sticking, 686 00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:21,319 Speaker 1: like getting there, and so they decide to actually look 687 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,440 Speaker 1: through the cellar. So instead of just you know, standing 688 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:28,120 Speaker 1: there and going that's a big pile of wood, instead 689 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,120 Speaker 1: of doing that, they decide, we're going to actually look 690 00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:34,560 Speaker 1: through some of this and underneath all of these bundles 691 00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,600 Speaker 1: of wood, they say that there are barrels and barrels 692 00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:46,920 Speaker 1: of gunpowder. But like, yeah, it's nighttime. Why why is 693 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:52,480 Speaker 1: guy Fox here? Right? It's because he is the only 694 00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:56,960 Speaker 1: dude in the OG five that has munitions experience, Like 695 00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,799 Speaker 1: he's a soldier. He knows how to blow stuff up, 696 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,040 Speaker 1: and so they're human. You know, it's late enough. He's 697 00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:08,239 Speaker 1: going to light a very very long views, long enough 698 00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 1: to blow up Parliament at the right moment. But yes, 699 00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,799 Speaker 1: by the early hours of the fifth of November, the 700 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:24,040 Speaker 1: House of Cards is crashing down. Fox had been nabbed 701 00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:27,160 Speaker 1: by the authorities, and they had called for the arrest 702 00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:33,640 Speaker 1: of the man who was renting the settler, Thomas Percy, 703 00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:38,160 Speaker 1: who unbeknownst to them, was already riding to the Midlands 704 00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:43,680 Speaker 1: to join Catesby, and the remaining in Aspirers, like those 705 00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:45,839 Speaker 1: who were still in England, a lot of them were 706 00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:50,640 Speaker 1: just like getting the hell out of Dodge because once 707 00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:57,400 Speaker 1: news of Guy Fox's arrest came, Yeah, people were worried. 708 00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:02,960 Speaker 1: Guy Fox had been caught and the plot had been foiled. 709 00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,680 Speaker 1: But when captured, he refused to give his real name 710 00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:12,520 Speaker 1: or the names of other conspirators. Right, so he claimed 711 00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:16,320 Speaker 1: the plot was all his own making and showed absolutely 712 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 1: no remorse. Right, He's like snitches, get stitches, Okay, I'm 713 00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:27,880 Speaker 1: keeping my own counsel. And he very calmly told his 714 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:32,040 Speaker 1: interrogators that the devil, not God, was to blame for 715 00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:37,319 Speaker 1: the plot being discovered. And the man is interrogated for 716 00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:43,200 Speaker 1: nearly two days and said jack shit. This pissed King 717 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:48,000 Speaker 1: James off so much, like so much, and so late 718 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:51,959 Speaker 1: on November sixth he orders that John Johnson be sent 719 00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:55,560 Speaker 1: to the Terror of London so that he can, you know, 720 00:56:56,239 --> 00:57:02,400 Speaker 1: have the information tortured out of him basically. Basically, they're 721 00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:05,960 Speaker 1: like start with gentler tortures and then work your way 722 00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:09,560 Speaker 1: up to like the bad ones. And we don't know 723 00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:14,240 Speaker 1: the exact tortures he suffered, but he was definitely put 724 00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:20,480 Speaker 1: on the rack in the white towered dungeons, so likelihood 725 00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:27,120 Speaker 1: we're talking thumbscrews. Now. I remember being told an account 726 00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:32,240 Speaker 1: of when I was younger, like being in like primary school, 727 00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:37,000 Speaker 1: national school, elementary level, like young, young, young, young, and 728 00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,040 Speaker 1: they told you about the ways that they were like 729 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:45,000 Speaker 1: taking off their fingernails and all of these torture techniques 730 00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:48,360 Speaker 1: of the time, and what would have been likely used 731 00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:52,520 Speaker 1: on Guy Foggs. Because that's appropriate to tell children and 732 00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,280 Speaker 1: explains a lot about why I probably watched a lot 733 00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:58,160 Speaker 1: of horror movies or are used to anyway before I 734 00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,080 Speaker 1: became a big scaredy cat. Now, if I want to 735 00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:04,280 Speaker 1: watch a horror movie, I need someone to protect me, please. 736 00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I love horror, but look after me, please, 737 00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:10,959 Speaker 1: and don't make too much fun of me when I 738 00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:16,640 Speaker 1: jump at the jump scares. So it took one day 739 00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:21,480 Speaker 1: of torture for John Johnson to break and reveal himself 740 00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 1: to be Guy Fox. The oath sworn on the Bible 741 00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:31,080 Speaker 1: at the duck, and Drake was now broken too. As 742 00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:34,160 Speaker 1: he was being racked, news spread to his comrades in 743 00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:38,200 Speaker 1: the Midlands. They had been betrayed, Fox had been caught 744 00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:44,120 Speaker 1: and were still the gunpowder never went off Parliament and 745 00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:46,680 Speaker 1: all those supposed to be in attendance, they were all 746 00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:55,080 Speaker 1: absolutely fine. Now they had options. Do they abandon the idea, 747 00:58:55,160 --> 00:59:01,920 Speaker 1: do they flee, do they seek refuge? What do they 748 00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:09,760 Speaker 1: do instead of escaping or doing literally anything else. Robert 749 00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:14,560 Speaker 1: Caatspy has a last stand. He tries to get men 750 00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:17,680 Speaker 1: to rally to his cause, claiming that the king is dead. 751 00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:23,600 Speaker 1: Unfortunately this plan only gavels him about forty men and 752 00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:28,000 Speaker 1: not really enough to start a rebellion with. And so 753 00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:33,680 Speaker 1: it is wet and miserable and rainy, and they are sodden, 754 00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:38,120 Speaker 1: and so they end up camping outside whole bush House 755 00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:41,000 Speaker 1: and that's in Staffordshire, and they're like, they're sitting up 756 00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,520 Speaker 1: a bonfire. They're gonna dry themselves out, well, not just them, 757 00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:51,480 Speaker 1: their clothes, and of course they're gunpowder. Spoiler alert. This 758 00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:56,600 Speaker 1: was not a great plan. This is why they had 759 00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:01,600 Speaker 1: Guido there, guy Fox in charge of the munitions. That's 760 01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 1: why they put him in charge of the gunpowder because 761 01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:09,400 Speaker 1: these men, sharing their last remaining brain cell, thought let's 762 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:15,400 Speaker 1: dry out the explosive next to this open flame. And yeah, 763 01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:20,520 Speaker 1: needless to say, there was an explosion. And this explosion 764 01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:25,440 Speaker 1: caused many burns over many people, with one man even 765 01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:29,720 Speaker 1: being blinded. It also used up a significant portion of 766 01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:33,360 Speaker 1: their gunpowder, so they had barely enough to defend themselves 767 01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:38,440 Speaker 1: with Many men were too injured to continue, others deserted, 768 01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:42,440 Speaker 1: and only a few remained with no other course of 769 01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:49,000 Speaker 1: action but to accept their faith. I mean, if you 770 01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:53,040 Speaker 1: stand for nothing bar what do you fall for? So 771 01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:57,000 Speaker 1: the following morning, at eleven am, over two hundred men, 772 01:00:57,360 --> 01:01:01,800 Speaker 1: led by the High Sheriff of Worcester, Richard Walsh, showed 773 01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:06,240 Speaker 1: up at hallbush House ready to take on Ktsby and 774 01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:13,440 Speaker 1: his men the Schottent. It lasted mere minutes. Robert Catesby, 775 01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:20,640 Speaker 1: Thomas Percy, John Wright, they were all dead at the 776 01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:25,320 Speaker 1: end of a musket. Thomas Winter took a gunshot wound 777 01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:29,959 Speaker 1: to the shoulder, but he survived, only to be sent 778 01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:35,840 Speaker 1: to the Tower of London, alongside Ambrose Rockwood, Robert Kayes, 779 01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:43,080 Speaker 1: Guy Fox, John Grant, Everent Digby and Thomas Bates. The 780 01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,880 Speaker 1: men were committed, tried, and sentenced to the Act of 781 01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:52,600 Speaker 1: high trees in and punishment was for them to be hanged, 782 01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:56,880 Speaker 1: drawn in quartered. Now kerry, you might say, do you 783 01:01:56,960 --> 01:02:01,680 Speaker 1: mean hung John quartered? And to answer your question, no, 784 01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:07,800 Speaker 1: I mean hanged. On the thirtieth of January sixteen oh six, 785 01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:14,600 Speaker 1: Robert Winter, John Grant, Evert, Digby and Thomas Bates were 786 01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:17,960 Speaker 1: drawn behind a horse through the London streets to Saint 787 01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:23,080 Speaker 1: Paul's churchyard. So the men they were tied to hurdles 788 01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,840 Speaker 1: which are like these wooden panels, and so this is 789 01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:30,000 Speaker 1: behind horses and they are dragged, right, So that's the 790 01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:34,360 Speaker 1: drawn part of this. So hanged, drawn, quartered, that's drawn. 791 01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:37,600 Speaker 1: And you're thinking, why is that in the middle. It 792 01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:42,960 Speaker 1: just sounds better, That's probably why. So they would then 793 01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:48,480 Speaker 1: be hanged by the neck until almost dead. So they 794 01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,280 Speaker 1: were to hang in such a way that they wouldn't die, 795 01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:56,080 Speaker 1: but they would suffer. While they were still alive. They 796 01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:59,800 Speaker 1: were to be cut down and so cut from the 797 01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:04,160 Speaker 1: road and they would be emasculated, disemboweled, beheaded and quartered. 798 01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:09,480 Speaker 1: So the masculation and disembowment, this would happen as they 799 01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:13,560 Speaker 1: were conscious. So what this means, I'm going to go 800 01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:18,080 Speaker 1: into deeper details here. This means that they would be 801 01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:21,800 Speaker 1: like fully conscious, or at least they would make sure 802 01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:25,560 Speaker 1: that they were alive enough for this to be castrated 803 01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:31,040 Speaker 1: and for the disemboweling. Their abdomen would be cut open 804 01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:34,560 Speaker 1: and their entrails and organs would be removed, and so 805 01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:37,120 Speaker 1: this is the part they would typically kill them, and 806 01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:40,720 Speaker 1: the organs were generally like thrown into a fire for 807 01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:45,960 Speaker 1: like burning the bad stuff, but also fires meant to 808 01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,240 Speaker 1: be like cleansing and a lot of religions and also 809 01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:55,120 Speaker 1: for drama. So they would then be decapitated and the body, 810 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:58,040 Speaker 1: the remaining bits of it would be quartered, so cut 811 01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:01,280 Speaker 1: into four parts, so that is your quarter. And then 812 01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:06,280 Speaker 1: the head and the quarters would typically be parboiled and 813 01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,200 Speaker 1: so like. They would often put heads on spikes and 814 01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:12,160 Speaker 1: display them, but they would often boil them like a 815 01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,280 Speaker 1: wee bit first, so that they would last a bit 816 01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:18,000 Speaker 1: longer so that you could see, you know, don't be bad, 817 01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,640 Speaker 1: or you're headland up in a spike like a warning, 818 01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:27,320 Speaker 1: you know. So this is what happened to them, hanged, 819 01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:32,960 Speaker 1: drawn quartered, and the following day on the thirty first 820 01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:41,000 Speaker 1: of January sixteen oh six, Ambrose Rockwood, Robert Keyes, Thomas Winter, 821 01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:46,640 Speaker 1: and Guy Fox or to suffer the same fate. Now 822 01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:52,720 Speaker 1: we only have two surviving confessions of like this whole plot, 823 01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:58,400 Speaker 1: and they are by Thomas Winter and Guy Fox. Now 824 01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:04,680 Speaker 1: Thomas went handwriting, it's like it's consistent until it comes 825 01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:08,240 Speaker 1: to his signature, and so there's a little bit of 826 01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:11,520 Speaker 1: wiggle about that. And Guy Fox you can tell that 827 01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:16,520 Speaker 1: his hands have been damaged when he signs his name 828 01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:21,760 Speaker 1: a second time, like you can see the difference. So 829 01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:24,920 Speaker 1: these men, they are drawn by the horse, they are 830 01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:30,240 Speaker 1: brought to the gallows. And Robert Keyes he didn't wait 831 01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:33,440 Speaker 1: for the hangman signal, and so he leapt from the gallows. 832 01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:39,920 Speaker 1: But he survived the drop, and so he he was 833 01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:46,040 Speaker 1: then disembeiled and quartered. Guy Fox, however, a man broken 834 01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:52,040 Speaker 1: on the rack, who had lived through torture it's like 835 01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:56,880 Speaker 1: thirty five years old. He jumps from the gallows and 836 01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:58,560 Speaker 1: he does it in such a way that he does 837 01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:02,720 Speaker 1: break his neck, saving himself from the agony of the 838 01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:06,680 Speaker 1: torture that would follow. Because they still did those things 839 01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:14,200 Speaker 1: to his body, but he didn't feel it. Days before 840 01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:18,120 Speaker 1: these executions. On the twenty third of January sixteen oh six, 841 01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:22,360 Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving Act would be passed to ensure that no 842 01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:26,360 Speaker 1: one would forget that the monarchy survived a dangerous plot, 843 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:32,760 Speaker 1: a dangerous plot by Catholic recusants, and four hundred years 844 01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:39,200 Speaker 1: later it has turned into an event of celebration with bonfiles, fireworks, 845 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:44,840 Speaker 1: toffee apples, hot cocoa, and of course sparklers. And this 846 01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,160 Speaker 1: is something I always bring up when I talk about 847 01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:51,720 Speaker 1: King James, when it comes to things happen in his life, Like, 848 01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:55,040 Speaker 1: you can make up stories about King James, but they're 849 01:06:55,080 --> 01:07:00,360 Speaker 1: pretty easily verifiable because this is a man who didn't 850 01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:03,919 Speaker 1: get killed, and we have a holiday about it. Right 851 01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:08,200 Speaker 1: were he didn't even almost right, There wasn't a touch 852 01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:12,200 Speaker 1: and goal there was spark wasn't slowly moving down that fuse. No, no, 853 01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:16,160 Speaker 1: no no, It was like kyb washed right away. So 854 01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:18,600 Speaker 1: when it comes to, oh he did this, you can 855 01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:20,920 Speaker 1: easily see if he did or not, because he was 856 01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:27,800 Speaker 1: his best promoter. But it's interesting now how we see 857 01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:32,160 Speaker 1: Guy Fox, Like the image of Guy Fox represents, you know, 858 01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:39,360 Speaker 1: anarche rebellion, rebellion against you know, theocracy and capitalism and 859 01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:45,800 Speaker 1: all of that nature when he was part of a 860 01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:52,080 Speaker 1: radical group that we're probably going to cause quite quite 861 01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:57,120 Speaker 1: a dogmatic regime. It was just gonna be with a 862 01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:59,920 Speaker 1: different person leading it. And something we have to remember 863 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:04,320 Speaker 1: is that extreme actions like this, they are born out 864 01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:10,200 Speaker 1: of oppression, marginalization and abuse. And it's when happens when 865 01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:13,480 Speaker 1: people feel like they have no other choice, they have 866 01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:17,040 Speaker 1: no rook to turn, when the system is actively working 867 01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:21,280 Speaker 1: against them. And that's just something we need to remember. 868 01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:24,879 Speaker 1: And like I said, and I think the last episode, 869 01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:27,800 Speaker 1: I think we need to just be a little bit 870 01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:34,120 Speaker 1: kinder out there. We just do one good deed. That's 871 01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:37,080 Speaker 1: your goal for the week, one good deed. And also, 872 01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:40,280 Speaker 1: if you're in London, come and see me perform.

I'll have a voice for London. 875 01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:46,599 Speaker 1: I'm taking an extra day off of work this week 876 01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:53,200 Speaker 1: for resting purposes.
