1902. Being a Proof with Moral Certitude of the Authorship of the
Document Together with Some Account of the Whole Thirteen Gunpowder
Conspirators Including Guy Fawkes. Spinks follows the fascinating
real-life tale of a group of Catholics who conspired to blow up The
House of Lords while the King was there to open Parliament; a plan
that came to be known as the Gunpowder Plot. Guy Fawkes, one of the
conspirators, was given the task of igniting the gunpowder stashed
in a cellar underneath the House of Lords. But, a few days before
the opening of Parliament, a Lord called Mounteagle received an
unsigned letter warning him not to attend the ceremony. He showed
the letter to the King's Chief Minister and it was believed that
there was a plot afoot. A search was ordered and Fawkes was
discovered and arrested. No one is certain who wrote the letter to
Lord Mounteagle, but Spinks argues that because of family
connections, Christopher Wright was the Gunpowder Plot conspirator
who betrayed his friends and coerced the Jesuit Oldcorne into
writing the famous letter.
