King James I Hobby:
One time consuming passion of James was hunting. James had become keen on hunting in his youth but now as King of England, it became almost an obsession. The bulk of his year was oriented around hunting. If James had a good day’s hunt, his mood in the evening was buoyant. If the day had not gone well, he would retire to his room. This made communication with his ministers very difficult as only the most favoured had access. http://www.school.eb.com/eb/article-9043295?query=King james I&ct=null -

Gun Powder Plot Conspirators
The leader of the plot, Robert Catesby, together with his four coconspirators—Thomas Winter, Thomas Percy, John Wright, and Guy Fawkes—were zealous Roman Catholics angered by James's refusal to grant more religious toleration to Catholics. http://www.school.eb.com/eb/article-9038535?query=gun powder plot&ct=eb -
Gun Powder Plot Plan
In the spring of 1605 the conspirators rented a cellar that extended under the palace at Westminster. There, Fawkes, who had been fighting in the Spanish Netherlands, concealed 36 (some sources say fewer) barrels of gunpowder. The conspirators then separated until the meeting of Parliament.\ http://www.school.eb.com/eb/article-9038535?query=gun%20powder%20plot&ct=eb -
Gun Powder Plot Fails/ Conspirators Caught
In the interim the need for broader support persuaded Catesby to include more conspirators. One of these, Francis Tresham, is believed to have warned his Catholic brother-in-law Lord Monteagle not to attend Parliament on November 5, upon which Monteagle alerted the government to the plot. Fawkes was discovered in the cellar on the night of November 4–5 and under torture revealed the names of the conspirators.
