Discovery and Dismantling of the Gunpowder Plot

The transcript details the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, where conspirators led by Thomas Percy planned to blow up the English Parliament. Guy Fawkes was caught with gunpowder in the Undercroft, leading to his arrest and interrogation. Despite initial silence, Fawkes eventually revealed the plot and his co-conspirators under torture. The plotters, including Robert Catesby, faced capture or death, with survivors imprisoned in the Tower of London. The plot's failure prevented a potential religious war in England.
