Book Synopsis The Gunpowder Plot: Classic Histories Series by : Alan Haynes
Download or read book The Gunpowder Plot: Classic Histories Series written by Alan Haynes and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-11-08 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every child has heard of Guy Fawkes and will most likely have watched a 'guy' being burnt on a bonfire and fireworks lighting up the night sky on Bonfire Night. This book answers the questions of history that lie behind the celebrations of 5 November. Who was Guy Fawkes and how to did he come to be below the chamber of the House of Lords in the first hour of 5 November 1605? What desperation drove those involved to plan a horrific massacre of the Protestant royal family and government? Alan Hayne's probing analysis offers the clearest, most balanced view yet of often conflicting evidence, as he disentangles the threads of disharmony, intrigue, betrayal, terror and retribution. In this updated edition he gathers together startling evidence to uncover the depth and extent of the plot, and how close the plotters came to de-stabilising the government in one of the most notorious terrorist plots of British history. This enthralling book will grip the general reader, while the scope of its detailed research will require historians of the period to consider again the commanding importance of the plot throughout the seventeenth century.

This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What Was the Gunpowder Plot? The Traditional Story Tested by Original Evidence The following study of the Gunpowder Plot has grown out of the accidental circumstance that, having under taken to read a paper before the Historical Research Society, at Archbishops House, Westminster, as the day on which it was to be read chanced to be the 5th of November, I was asked to take the famous conspiracy for my subject. It was with much reluctance that I agreed to do so, believing, as I then did, that there was absolutely nothing fresh to say upon this topic, that no incident in our annals had been more thoroughly threshed out, and that in regard of none, so far, at least, as its broader outlines are concerned, was the truth more clearly established.

Download or read book The Gunpowder Plot Deceit written by Martyn R. Beardsley and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people think they know the story of the Gunpowder Plot, and of how a bloody catastrophe was averted at the eleventh hour when Guy Fawkes was caught lurking in the shadows beneath the Houses of Parliament.But what if it wasnt like that at all? How was it that a group of prominent, disaffected Catholics were able to plot for months with apparent impunity? How could they openly rent a house next door to the House of Lords and use it as their base right under the nose of the leading spymaster of the age, Robert Cecil? How could they have hacked a tunnel towards their target and dispose of tonnes of spoil without alerting anyone and why is there no record of anyone ever having seen such a tunnel?This book explores the idea that the government was not only aware of what the plotters were up to long before Fawkes arrest, but that agent-provocateurs may have given them a helping hand or have even instigated the plot themselves.
Book Synopsis A Narrative of the Gunpowder Plot (Classic Reprint) by : David Jardine
Download or read book A Narrative of the Gunpowder Plot (Classic Reprint) written by David Jardine and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Narrative of the Gunpowder Plot The substance of the following pages was published many years ago in the "Library of Entertaining Knowledge," and formed the introduction to the trials of the several persons implicated in the Gunpowder Treason. The obvious objection to the course adopted with respect to the "Criminal Trials," was, that the introduction exceeded its office as an illustration of the judicial proceedings, and became a prominent part of the work, instead of being merely accessary to the main design. Another objection was, that a work, which professed some degree of research and a critical examination of the evidence and effect of disputed facts, was inconsistent with the object of the series to which it belonged, and with the character and capacities of the readers for whose use that series was intended.
