Even Charles 11 threw his faithful servants to the wind.

You're filling my reading list up, Fiz. I can see what would be in it for James, but what would have been in it for Fawkes in the provocateur gig? Getting to break his neck before disemboweling?

Elizabeth had always said that she did not want to "shine a light into peoples' soul", but James V1 and 1 did just that - the Catholics were given much less religious freedom and all of the Elizabethan anti-catholic laws were considerably tightened. So everything the plotters had wanted to achieve was destroyed. The Gunpowder Plot: Terror and Faith in 1605 by Antonia Fraser goes into it in great detail, with the investigation showing Fawkes may well have been an agent provocateur.
