Reading The Past: Gunpowder, Treason, And Plot: The Plan To Kill A King

 "Remember, Remember!

The fifth of November

The Gunpowder treason and plot;

I know of no reason

Why the Gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot!"

"The Fifth of November"
English folk poem

 Guy Fawkes
Illustrated by George Cruikshank 
 From the 1840 novel, "Guy Fawkes"

On this last Friday in October, Dr. Kat, the gracious host of
"Reading The Past" brings us the rather macabre yet true story
of the notorious Gunpowder Plot, a failed assassination attempt
against King James I  by a group of English Catholics.
