Quotation:

“When a small group of people come together to relive the Salem witch hunts, God cries. For if
anything is sorrowful to God, it is evil done in his name. When you find out you were not given the
truth, how will you live with yourself?”
― Shannon L. Alder

“A group of Roman Catholic nobles and gentlemen led by Robert Catesby conspired to
essentially end Protestant rule with perhaps the biggest ‘bang’ in history. Their plan was to blow
up the King, Queen, church leaders, assorted nobles and both Houses of Parliament with 36
barrels of gunpowder strategically placed in the cellars beneath the Palace of Westminster.”

group

When King James became the king of England, it didnt take him long to
tick people off. He wasnt really for the freedom of religion, therefore a
group of catholics led by Robert Catesby came together to plot an
assasination on the king and others around him. The plan was to set off
36 barrels of gunpowder under the Palace of Westminster. Guy Fawkes,
allegedly the one to set off the gunpowder, was arrested unnder the
House of Lords next to the barrels with matches in his pocket. He was
then tortured to reveal the others involved, they were then all either killed
trying to escaped or executed by the British method “hanged, drawn and
quartered”

*Hanged, drawn and quartered: Victims were dragged on a wooden hurdle behind a
horse to the place of execution where they were first of all hanged, then their genitals
were removed, they were disembowelled and beheaded.Their bodies were finally
quartered, the severed pieces often displayed in public.
