Timeline of the Gunpowder Plot

Source A: Historical account of the Gunpowder Plot

'The Gunpowder Plot was a failed attempt by a group of conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, to blow up the House of Lords in 1605. The plot was conceived as a way to end Protestant rule and restore Catholic dominance in England. The plan involved storing barrels of gunpowder beneath the Parliament building, with Fawkes assigned to ignite the explosives. The plot was uncovered just before it could be carried out, leading to the arrest and execution of the conspirators.'
