Robert Catesby | Mastermind of the 1605 Gunpowder Plot (Gunpowder)

"I am Robert Catesby... and I am going to blow the King to hell."

The actual ancestor of Kit Harington. I rewatched this miniseries yesterday, seeing as it's the 5th of November, and figured I could quickly make this short video on Catesby shortly after Bonfire Night (here in the UK). Another less known infamous figure to the list.

A great summary by The News Statesmen:
'To that end, they decided to blow up the House of Lords during the state opening of parliament.
This would knock out the king and most of his ministers, and open the way for nine-year-old Princess Elizabeth to become puppet queen of a new Catholic regime.

Guy Fawkes wasn’t even the plot’s leader: that was Robert Catesby. The only reason Fawkes himself is the one who became most associated with the plot is because he was the poor mug who got lumbered with the job of guarding the barrels.'
