@history_mapped: The Gunpowder Plot 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 see the fascinating storied history of the plot to blow up the House of Lords on 5 November 1605. It starts with Henry VIII's break with Rome and the secret world of hidden priests, recusant families and St Nicholas Owen's hiding places. Then come Catesby's oath at the Duck and Drake, the 36 barrels beneath the Lords and the mysterious Monteagle letter. It goes on to the arrest of Guy Fawkes, the last stand at Holbeche House and the fate of Henry Garnet, and ends with Catholic Emancipation and the bonfires that still light up Britain every Bonfire Night. #GunpowderPlot #BonfireNight #GuyFawkes #LondonHistory #BritishHistory
