The Elaborate Plot To Kill King James I | Gunpowder, Treason & Plot | Real Royalty

Just hours before Parliament is due to be in session, the authorities receive an anonymous warning. The warning tells of a plot by Catholic terrorists to blow up the king and his ministers as they sit through a state opening. Guards are sent to search the cellars, and sure enough a pile of coals hides a huge stash of deadly explosives, enough to blow the Palace of Westminster sky-high. A solitary figure spotted nearby, wrapped in a cape and holding a lantern, is soon arrested. He is unmasked as a mercenary called Guy Fawkes, the plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament is foiled, and a new date is imprinted on a nation's consciousness.

Mary returned to Scotland to assume her designated role as the country’s monarch. In 1565, she married her English cousin Lord Darnley in order to reinforce her claim of succession to the English throne after Elizabeth’s death. In 1567, Darnley was mysteriously killed in an explosion at Kirk o’ Field, and Mary’s lover, the Earl of Bothwell, was the key suspect. Although Bothwell was acquitted of the charge, his marriage to Mary in the same year enraged the nobility. Mary brought an army against the nobles, but was defeated and imprisoned at Lochleven, Scotland, and forced to abdicate in favor of her son by Darnley, James. In 1568, Mary escaped from captivity and raised a substantial army but was defeated and fled to England. Queen Elizabeth initially welcomed Mary but was soon forced to put her friend under house arrest after Mary became the focus of various English Catholic and Spanish plots to overthrow Elizabeth. Nineteen years later, in 1586, a major plot to murder Elizabeth was reported, and Mary was brought to trial. She was convicted for complicity and sentenced to death. On February 8, 1587, Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded for treason. Her son, King James VI of Scotland, calmly accepted his mother’s execution, and upon Queen Elizabeth’s death in 1603 he became king of England, Scotland and Ireland.

Thank you for this clear and concise summary! There's so many embellished interpretations of Mary Queen of Scots' life and execution that it's hard to know what to believe. But yours is a clear summary and given this info, I guess she sadly had it coming. Whether or not she personally plotted revolution against Elizabeth, we're not for sure. But the fact that she was used as a symbol or pawn of revolt and allowed herself to be, Elizabeth had no choice.

Do you have any stories about King George and the soldiers that got him back on the throne?

Awesome, awesome video. We thank God for saving King James 1 from death, which later brought us our beloved James James Version on the Word of God! Thank you so much for such a magnificent video! God richly bless you and your awesome work!!

Many other nobles were warned of the plot too. One was Welsh noble Sir John Wynne, who would become one of the first Baronets, who had been planning to attend that very Parliament, but he received a letter from his physician that it would be "injurious to his health" to go.

I believe the attacks on James' life were an attempt to stop the publication of The Great King James Version Bible in 1611. Had James died prematurely, the KJV Bible may had never reached the world. As a result the Gospel of salvation could have been hindered. 2 Corinthians 2:14 King James Version ~ "Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place."

Elizabeth was the "Supreme Governor" of the Church of England not the "Supreme Head"

[@johnmiller8975]

I have heard both terms used by legitimate historian

[@petah-peoplefortheendlesst4668]

​@@johnmiller8975 I think it is an important distinction. Elizabeth I petitioned Parliament to specifically be named "Supreme Governor of the Church of England" as not to offend crypto-Catholics as this phrasing allowed people to accept her authority with regards to temporal matters but could still retain some "spiritual" or "personal" beliefs. The English monarchs before Elizabeth I were given the title "Supreme Head of the Church of England" until Mary I tried to force England back to Rome by reversing the political changes that occurred during the English Reformation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act_of_Supremacy_1558en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act_of_Supremacy_1558

Martyrdom is to die holding your faith high, and certainly not to have even desired harm to others but rather to die innocent of any crime period. the only thing is to die in the true faith and not some made-up religion of man, to die as a true believer, that practiced the very faith Christ died to give us in Himself.

[@mariasousa-rovers3124]

Perhaps, but the questions is and has always been, What is the true faith? Many have killed and died for what they see as the true faith, but in the end, all we have observed is that humanity assumes much too much and seeks not The Truth, but their truth.

The foley of man is to assume to know what God wants and thinks. Arrogance in their own self-importance and assumed closeness to the heavens. To place one man above God, assumed to be God’s representative on earth, is against the first commandment.
