About This Book

A forensic inquiry argues for a specific authorship of the warning letter sent to Lord Mounteagle while reconstructing the plot to destroy Parliament and the roles of the full set of conspirators, including Guy Fawkes. The author blends close evidential analysis and legal reasoning with narrative history, biographical sketches, and regional topography, placing the conspiracy within broader recusant unrest and three connected movements. The work emphasizes proofs and moral evaluation, and traces the political and religious tensions that made such a scheme conceivable.
