Show Notes

As Queen Elizabeth I lay dying, why were the nation’s high profile Catholics rounded up and imprisoned? Why has history overlooked James I, the first king of Scotland and England? Who were the small group of wealthy Catholic men so angry with the new king that they ultimately planned to blow up Parliament? 


Join Sarah Churchwell and David Olusoga on their first of four episodes looking at the Gunpowder Plot of 1605.
