In May of 1604, Guy Fawkes met with Robert Catesby, Thomas Percy, John Wright and Thomas Wintour at an inn called the Duck and Drake in the fashionable Strand district of London and agreed under oath along with Percy to join the other three in the gunpowder conspiracy
1605, the conspirators hired a cellar beneath Parliament. Fawkes assisted in filling the room with barrels of powder, hidden beneath iron bars.
On Sunday 3 November, a few of the leading conspirators met in London and agreed that the authorities were still unaware of their actions.
On the 5th of November, the king and his leaders were about to meet. So, Guy Fawkes men placed barrels of gunpowder in one of the cellars beneath the building where the king was having meeting
Guy Fawkes was to light the fuse that would set off the explosion. But the plot was discovered before he had a chance to do this. The king was saved, and Guy Fawkes was hanged.
