Catesby soon began to lose patience with the new dynasty.

" Percy listened while Catesby added " I am thinking of a most sure way and I will soon let thee know what it is.

Many of the streets of the Charterfields housing development, built during the 1970s, adopted the names of the Gunpowder Plot conspirators, such as Catesby Drive ( Robert Catesby ), Digby Road ( Sir Edward Digby ), Keyes Drive ( Robert Keyes ), Tresham Road ( Francis Tresham ), Ambrose Crescent ( Ambrose Rokewood ), Monteagle Drive ( Lord Monteagle-William Parker ) and Rokewood Close ( Ambrose Rokewood ).

Rookwood claimed that he had been drawn into the plot by Catesby, " whom he loved above any worldy man ".

For the plan to work Rookwood and his horses needed to be close to the other conspirators, and so Catesby persuaded him to rent Clopton House at Stratford-upon-Avon.

When Rookwood caught them up and broke to them the news of Fawkes's arrest, the group, which now included Rookwood, Catesby, Bates, the Wright brothers and Percy, rode toward Dunchurch.

Although gunpowder does not explode ( unless physically contained ), a spark from the fire landed on the powder and the resultant flames engulfed Catesby, Rookwood, Grant, and another man.

Remaining were Catesby ( described as " reasonably well "), Rookwood, the Wright brothers, Percy and John Grant, who had been so badly injured that his eyes were " burnt out ".

Rookwood fled the city, and informed Catesby and the others of the plan's failure.

Catesby was killed, but Rookwood survived, and was imprisoned in the Tower of London.

Wintour introduced Fawkes to Robert Catesby, who planned to assassinate and restore a Catholic monarch to the throne.

Only Digby, tried on a separate indictment, pleaded guilty, insisting that the King had reneged upon promises of toleration for Catholics, and that affection for Catesby and love of the Catholic cause mitigated his actions.

Several assassination attempts were made on James, notably the Main Plot and Bye Plots of 1603, and most famously, on 5 November 1605, the Gunpowder Plot, by a group of Catholic conspirators, led by Sir Robert Catesby, which caused more antipathy in England towards the Catholic faith.

Catesby therefore planned to kill him by blowing up the House of Lords with gunpowder, the prelude to a popular revolt during which a Catholic monarch would be restored to the English throne.

The Earl of Essex's purpose might have lain in furthering his own interests rather than those of the Catholic Church, but Catesby hoped that if Essex succeeded, there might once more be a Catholic monarch.

Despite Catholic Spain's moves toward diplomacy with England, Catesby still harboured hopes of foreign support and a peaceful solution.

Catesby gave Bates a letter to deliver to Father Garnet and the other priests at Coughton Court, informing them of what had transpired, and asking for their help in raising an army in Wales, where Catholic support was believed to be strong.

It passed down the male line to Robert Catesby's father, Sir William Catesby, who managed to hold on to the property in spite of massive debts caused by recusancy fines and years of imprisonment for his stubborn adherence to the Roman Catholic faith.

Under torture Garnet admitted that he had heard of the plot from fellow Jesuit Oswald Tesimond, who had learnt of it in confession from Catesby.

Their fortune derived from its earliest known ancestor, Sir John Spencer of Wormleighton, Warwickshire, who bought Althorp in 1522 from the Catesby family with the huge profits from his sheep-rearing business.

Robert Catesby ( b. in or after 1572 – 8 November 1605 ), was the leader of a group of provincial English Catholics who planned the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605.

Despite the ease with which Catesby seems to have inspired his fellow conspirators, that it was he and not Fawkes ( today most often associated with 5 November ) who devised what became known as the Gunpowder Plot, has largely been forgotten.

Wintour at first objected to his cousin's scheme, but Catesby, who said that " the nature of the disease required so sharp a remedy ", won him over.

Owen did, however, introduce Wintour to Guy Fawkes, whose name Catesby had already supplied as " a confidant gentleman " who might enter their ranks.

This was a response that in Nicholls's opinion came as no surprise to Catesby, who wanted and expected nothing less.

Several of the conspirators expressed worries about fellow Catholics who would be caught up in the planned explosion ; Percy was concerned for his patron, Northumberland, and when the young Earl of Arundel's name was mentioned Catesby suggested that a minor wound might keep him from the chamber on that day.

William Catesby was one of the two councillors ( the other was Richard Ratcliffe ) who are reputed to have told the king that marrying Elizabeth of York would cause rebellions in the north.

The first child, Francis, died at the age of nineteen, while his daughter Cassandra Willoughby married the Duke Chandos, who was a patron of Mark Catesby.

In summer 1605 Garnet met with Robert Catesby, a religious zealot who, unknown to him, planned to kill the Protestant King James I.

It was here in 1605 that most of the men who had attempted to blow up Parliament with Guy Fawkes were cornered, and a bloody gunfight ensued, resulting in the deaths of at least four of the conspirators, including their leader Robert Catesby.

Her guns were prepared under the direction of Commander Catesby ap Roger Jones, the man who had commanded CSS Virginia ( ex-USS Merrimack ) in her famous duel with on March 9, 1862.

Catesby ap Roger Jones ( April 15, 1821-June 20, 1877 ) was an officer in the U. S. Navy who became a commander in the Confederate Navy during the American Civil War.

Garnet's meeting with Catesby, at which the former was said to have absolved the latter of any blame in the plot, was proof enough that the Jesuits were central to the conspiracy ; according to Coke the Gunpowder Plot would always be known as the Jesuit Treason.

Guy Fawkes, an English soldier, along with other recusants or converts, including, among others, Sir Robert Catesby, Christopher Wright, John Wright and Thomas Percy, was arrested and charged with attempting to blow up Parliament on 5 November 1605.

Since Linnaeus never saw an herbarium specimen ( if there ever was one ) of Plumier's Magnolia and had only his description and a rather poor picture at hand, he must have taken it for the same plant which was described by Catesby in his 1730 Natural History of Carolina.

Preventing access to the lakes was an American flotilla, commanded by Lieutenant Thomas ap Catesby Jones, consisting of five gunboats.

The first, by R. Catesby Taliaferro of St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland, was included in volume 16 of the Great Books of the Western World ; the second, by G. J. Toomer, Ptolemy's Almagest in 1998 ;

Harrison Ainsworth, in his 1842 novel Guy Fawkes, wrote about the local story that the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 was planned by Guy Fawkes and Robert Catesby in Ordsall Hall's Star Chamber.

* Saint Edmund of Abingdon, 13th-century Archbishop of Canterbury: He was born in Abingdon, as were his sisters, Saint Alice of Catesby and the Blessed Margaret Rich.

Most probably born in Warwickshire, Catesby was educated in nearby Oxford.

Robert Catesby was the third and only surviving son of Sir William Catesby and Anne Throckmorton, and was probably born in or after 1572 at his father's main residence in Lapworth.

Robert was the lineal descendant of Sir William Catesby ( 1408 – 1485 ), the influential councillor of Richard III captured at the Battle of Bosworth and executed.

In 1601 Catesby was involved in the Essex Rebellion.

The rebellion was a failure however, and the wounded Catesby was captured, imprisoned at the Wood Street Counter, and fined 4, 000 marks ( equivalent to over £ 6 million as of 2008 ) by Elizabeth I.

Without acknowledging that he was aware of the precise nature of the plot, Garnet tried in vain to dissuade Catesby from his course.

Catesby had borne much of the scheme's financial cost thus far, and was running out of money.

Also descended from William Catesby, Tresham was Robert's cousin, and as young children the two had often visited White Webbs.
