Plot to blow up Parliament lives in British history

Key figures John Wright Thomas Winter and Francis Tresham planned the attack, with Guy Fawkes caught guarding powder and executed in 1606. Monteagle’s warning letter aided authorities and Catesby was killed after fleeing. Parliament vaults are still checked before state openings.
