In summer 1605, Jesuit priest, Henry Garnet met with Robert Catesby, who, unknown to him, planned to kill the Protestant King James I. The existence of Catesby's Gunpowder Plot was revealed to him by Father Oswald Tesimond on 24 July 1605, but as the information was received under the seal of the confessional, he felt that Canon law prevented him from speaking out. Instead, without telling anyone of what Catesby planned, he wrote to his superiors in Rome, urging them to warn English Catholics against the use of force. When the plot was discovered, he was taken to London and interrogated by the Privy Council, whose members included John Popham, Edward Coke and Robert Cecil. He was sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered, and was executed on 3 May 1606.
A very rare and important work on the Gunpowder Plotters, including Guy Fawkes, Catesby, and Thomas Winter (Wintour), and their trials, particularly that of Henry Garnet. Printed within weeks of these events! A wonderful piece of British history.
