Guy Fawkes: History Mystery LO: analyse historical sources to decide

whether the Gunpowder plotters were framed

The conspiracy theory

• Some people do not agree with the traditional story of the gunpowder plot.

• Instead they believe that the government knew about the plot and even encouraged it.

• Some historians think that James I and Robert Cecil hatched the plot themselves and framed the Catholics.

Let’s investigate….Did Cecil plan the plot make the Catholics even more unpopular?

Your task• In today’s lesson you are going to look at various

pieces of evidence and reach a judgement to if the Gunpowder plotters were framed or not.

• In groups you will look at the evidence and the arguments and discuss if the plotters and Guy Fawkes were framed.

• When looking at the evidence Make your Point clearly and Provide Evidence and

Examples using the handouts.

MOTIVEWhy would Cecil set up Catholic plotters and only catch them at the last minute?Can you think of any reason why the Catholics would want to plan a plot against the king?

RELIABILITYWhich evidence is the most trustworthy?Which is the least trustworthy?

CECILCan you find any evidence of a connection between the plot and Cecil? Has Cecil tried to hide anything? Did Cecil stop people from talking? Did he know details of the plot before it happened?

Good detectives are…

• There are several other pieces of evidence also such as…
