The Gunpowder Plot of Guy Fawkes Postcard

The Gunpowder Plot of Guy Fawkes Postcard

The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 was a notorious conspiracy in England that sought to overthrow the Protestant monarchy of King James I and replace it with a Catholic government. The plot was led by a group of English Catholics, including Guy Fawkes, who had become disenchanted with the persecution and discrimination they faced under the Protestant rule. Fawkes and his fellow conspirators rented a cellar beneath the House of Lords and filled it with barrels of gunpowder, with the intention of detonating it on November 5, 1605, during the State Opening of Parliament. Their plan was to kill the King, his ministers, and most of the Protestant nobility in one swift blow. However, the plot was foiled when an anonymous letter warning of the conspiracy was delivered to the authorities, and Fawkes was discovered guarding the explosives. He was subsequently arrested, tortured, and ultimately executed. The failure of the Gunpowder Plot had significant repercussions for English Catholics. It led to even harsher anti-Catholic laws and persecution, further deepening the religious divisions in the country. The anniversary of the plot's discovery, November 5th, is commemorated annually in the United Kingdom as Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night, during which effigies of Guy Fawkes are burned in bonfires, and fireworks are set off. This tradition serves as a reminder of the events and their historical significance

Such a huge range of different frogs available, which made my choices very difficult and now the reason I have a whole draw full of cards and postcards! Much better quality than you can buy in the shops and they are exactly on the subject I love and adore too.
