    The document discusses the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, where a group of 13 conspirators led by Robert Catesby planned to blow up the English Parliament building with King James I inside in order to overthrow the Protestant government. The plot was discovered and the conspirators were arrested, with Guy Fawkes found guarding the explosives. Most of the conspirators were tried and executed for treason, with their deaths involving torture. Since then, the 5th of November has been commemorated annually in the UK and elsewhere as Guy Fawkes Night.
