Gunpowder, Treason and Plot - Mark Anthony Wyatt : 255

I recently met up with Mark from The Cuckoo Town Podcast to discuss the Gunpowder Plot of November 5th 1605.
This was one of the most audacious attempts to bring down a State ever recorded, that occurred during a fascinating period of British and European History.
We talked about the religious context of the plot and the political background. How the Elizabethan persecutions of the post-reformation period motivated the plotters and some of their backstory.
Who was involved? How did the plot develop during the preceding year?
We looked at the practical elements of the event and how catastrophic the ramifications would have been if Robert Catesby and his band of conspirators would have been successful.
How were they discovered and why? What is The Monteagle Letter? How were they punished?
This should give you an idea of what we covered. It’s a great story that still influences UK society to this day!

Thanks so much for the tip to that book Phil. I've been searching for something credible to read from that period for ages.

Heath signed into it without even reading it
Don’t think he did it with a prosthetic hand though?

[@brianbadonde9039]

Believe it or not i tuned in to hear the GUEST speak. Yet the host didn’t let him get a word in edge ways for nearly 2 hours. Seriously… come on….

[@theamishinquisition]

Bi bon't believe bou!

[@cuckootown9478]

Thanks, although I'm not sure why you would want to hear me rabbiting on, and on😂 ....anyway, if Phil spoke more than me it's because he knows a LOT more about this era of history than I do👍

[@Hadrada.]

Don’t agree with you there

[@theamishinquisition]

Don't feed the trolls Harold 🤣
