Bonfire- Night ENGLISH ROSE LEARNING HALLOWEEN BONFIRE NIGHT Bonfire Night is a traditional British celebration, also known as Guy Fawkes’ Night. Every 5 November, bonfires are lit and firework dis- plays are held to remember an unsuccessful plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill the king in 1605. These activities are designed to inform students about the history of this celebration, the people involved and traditions which are prac- tised today. In this lesson you’ll learn: What is the Bonfire Night People behind the gunpowder plot Bonfire Night celebrations Guy Fawkes Bonfire Night Recipes Remember, remember the fifth November… What is Bonfire Night?

The King insisted that a more thorough search be undertaken. Thomas Wintour begged to be hanged for himself and his brother, so that his brother might be spared. Thomas Wintour and Littleton, on their way from Huddington to Holbeche House, were told by a messenger that Catesby had died. Details of the assassination attempt were allegedly known by the principal Jesuit of England, Father Henry Garnet. Synopsis About this title With a narrative that grips the reader like a detective story, Antonia Fraser brings the characters and events of the Gunpowder Plot to life. Seven of the prisoners were taken from the Tower to the Star Chamber by barge. As news of "John Johnson's" arrest spread among the plotters still in London, most fled northwest, along Watling Street.

He also spoke of a Christian union and reiterated his desire to avoid religious persecution. Macbeth , Act 2 Scene 3. This is a complex story, with many players, both high and low, but Fraser lays it out clearly and concisely.

  • Who Were the People Behind the Gunpowder Plot?
    Who were the people behind the Gunpowder plot? Guy Fawkes Guy Fawkes is the name most associated with the Gunpowder Plot. Guy Fawkes was born in York in 1570. Recruited as the gunpowder expert, he was the one caught red-handed in the basement storeroom under the House of Lords with the barrels of gunpowder on the 5 November 1605. He has become our Bonfire Night 'celebrity'. Who were the other men involved? Robert Catesby Robert Catesby was born around 1572 in Lapworth, Warwickshire. He was the charismatic mastermind behind the Gunpowder Plot. John and Christopher Wright John (born 1568) and Christopher (born 1570) were from Welwick, Yorkshire. These brothers were viewed as dangerous Catholics by the authorities before they had even been drawn into the plot. Thomas Percy Thomas Percy was born around 1560 in Beverley, Yorkshire. Thomas was a violent, wild character. He was married to Christopher and John's sister, Martha and came from a very wealthy, powerful family. Francis Tresham Francis Tresham was born in 1567 in Rushton, Northamptonshire. Francis was perhaps the most reluctant of the conspirators, and he may have sent the Monteagle letter warning his brother-in-law not to attend Parliament on the 5 November 1605. Thomas and Robert Winter Thomas Winter was among the first to be drawn into the plot. His brother Robert was recruited later. It was Thomas who tried to get the conspirators to abandon the plot when he realised that it had been discovered. The Winter brothers were born in Huddington, Worcestershire. Using Maps The Gunpowder Plot conspirators were born all around England.

  • T * I No 13 GUY FAWKES, OH the HISTORY of the UNPOTOEE
    t * I No 13 GUY FAWKES, OH THE HISTORY OF THE UNPOTOEE PLOT, \ I GUY FAWKES. OK THE GUNPOWDER PLOT. The conspiracy called the Gunpowder Plot must, for various reasons, be considered as one of the most remarkable occurrences in English history. The atrocity of the design, the ex- tent of the mischief intended, and the myste- rious manner in which the scheme is represented to have been detected upon the eve of its exe- cution, would alone be sufficient to give a surpassing interest to the story; while tne observance of the anniversary periodically awakens the remembrance of Guy Fawkes and his associates, and perpetuates the memory of the transaction by rendering its leading fea- tures familiar even to our children. In order to form a fair judgment of the causes which produced the Gunpowder Trea- son, and to comprehend the motives of those who were engaged in it, it is necessary to con- isider generally the state of the English Catho- Hlics at that period, and to take a summary view of the penal restrictions and liabilities to which, at the commencement of the reign of James I., the adherents to the Roman Churcl were subject. The laws passed against recusants in the latter years of the reign of Elizabeth were ex- tremely severe; and whatever may have been the object with which they were passed, and without discussing the debatable question of -t GUY FAWKKS, OR their necessity for the preservation of the Pro- testant establishment from the practices of dis- affected and turbulent fanatics, at that time excited and encouraged by the mischievous in- terference of the Pope, it may be observed that their effect undoubtedly was to withdraw from the Catholics the common rights and liberties of Englishmen, and to place all persons, how- ever loyal to the existing Government, who ad- hered, from conscience and principle, to the ancient religion, in a state of unmerited perse- cution and suffering.

  • Digby & Strutt Families
    MY ANCESTORS BEING THE HISTORY OF THE DIGBY & STRUTT FAMILIES BY LETTICE DIGBY PRIVATELY PRINTED BY SPOTTISWOODE, BALLANTYNE & CO. LTD. LONDON PREFACE So ME months of enforced idleness have given me great opportunities of thinking over the years that are passed. These memories are so radiantly happy that I felt con­ strained to try to chronicle them. In so doing I had occasion to refer to some of my ancestors, and this inspired me to collect all the information regarding them that I had at hand, in order that my nephews and nieces might have a simple chronicle of their lives. Some Digby papers and letters are in my possession, and I have been greatly helped by notes that my mother had made. The early Digby and early Strutt ancestors form a striking contrast-Digbys : courtiers, noblemen and states­ men ; Strutts : small yeoman farmers and artisans who, by their skill and integrity, became pioneers in industry and eminent citizens of Derby. Both families can claim at least one Fellow of the Royal Society. The Digby genealogical table has been compiled from an old printed pedigree entitled " A Genealogical Table of the Noble Family of Digby," which ends at Henry, 7th Baron and 1st Earl Digby, and from the Tree at Minterne, in the possession of the present Lord Digby, which was copied by the Honourable Theresa Mary Digby as a wedding present to my father. With few exceptions, the names on V both the Digby and Strutt tables are confined to those persons mentioned in the text. Many of the families were very large, and a full table, especially of the Digbys, would be too voluminous.

Mary’s Protestant younger sister succeeded her as Queen Elizabeth I. In 1559, during the first year of Elizabeth’s reign, Parliament passed the Act of Uniformity, declaring the state-run Church of England as the only legitimate religious authority, and compulsory for all citizens.

  • Conspiracy and Conscience. a Psychological Study of the Gunpowder Plot
    CONSPIRACY AND CONSCIENCE CONSPIRACY AND CONSCIENCE. A PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE GUNPOWDER PLOT. BY JOHN KNIPE. A CONTEMPORARY JUDGMENT. N a seventeenth-century account of the Gunpowder Plot the I writer, a good man unknown, whose conscience was plainly perplexed by the cold-blooded proceedings of the conspirators, as well as shocked and horrified, makes a psychological reflection which while it is quaintly worded is almost modern in its shrewd analysis of motive, consent, and action. He says : " There are no conspiracies and insurrections more dangerous to States and Governments than those that the name of religion is made to patronize, for when that does head and manage the party as it makes it look somewhat considerable in itself, so it does inspire those that are concerned, with a certain furious and intemperate zeal and an ungovernable violence." Here he shows that a Religious Motive demanding rebellion in its own interest, dignifies actual Crime, and takes away the moral restraint of religion from the criminal, and still worse his devout instincts become so perverted that he sins deeper by his exceptional violence than the common thief, cut-throat or murdererwhooffends by custom and habit. This is Motive or Cause leading to Consent founded on Fallacy which the chronicler defines thus : " They then rebel with authority and kill with a safe conscience and think they cannot do amiss as long as it is to do God service." So Religion, as a moral influence, is lost on such minds. What check is left? Not natural affection, for "The brother will then deliver up the brother to death .
