	Gunpowder Plot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 was a desperate but failed attempt by a group of provincial English Catholic extremists to kill King James I of England, his family, and most of the Protestant aristocracy in one fell swoop by blowing up the Houses of Parliament during the State Opening.
		The Gunpowder Plot was one of a series of unsuccessful assasination attempts against James I; the Main Plot and the Bye Plot of 1603 being earlier attempts.
		Many modern historians think that Cecil's agents had infiltrated the plot early on in its gestation but allowed it to continue for dramatic effect; certainly the propaganda value of a "Popish plot" was not underplayed during the next few hundred years.

		Disaster came suddenly, without fault on Pepys’s part, and his career was closed for a time.
		In 1678, the popish plot was invented, and the death of Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey drove the public mad with alarm, while unprincipled men took the opportunity of compromising their enemies in order to bring about their condemnation on false issues.
		Pepys had enemies who sought to sacrifice him by means, chiefly, of the fictitious evidence of a miscreant named John Scott (calling himself colonel Scott).

	Thomas Otway Venice Preserv'd Criticism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Since the Popish Plotters were presumably conspiring to kill the King, and not plotting against the Whigs, having the Venetian conspirators conspire against a Senate that represents the Whigs is an imperfect allegory.
		David Bywaters (author of "Venice, Its Senate, and Its Plot in Otway's Venice Preserv'd") does not perceive this issue to be a problem for Otway, because he believes that the conspiracy represents a mere parody of the Whigs' irrational fear of the Popish Plot.
		The parallels between the conspiracy and the Popish Plot and between the senators who rule Venice and the Whigs who rule London are too uncanny to be ignored.

	Popish Plot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Popish Plot was an alleged Catholic conspiracy.
		In 1678 a corrupt English clergyman named Titus Oates announced that he had uncovered a "Popish Plot" to murder King Charles II of England and replace him with James, his Roman Catholic brother.
		Nonconformists rushed to support the Anglican Whigs, who consequently won a great majority in the House of Commons.

		Sixteen innocent men were executed (barring one, who apparently escaped) for their part in an alleged plot to kill the king (Charles II), together with eight Catholic priests executed in the ensuing purge against Catholics, but the real death toll was much higher.
		With the wisdom of hindsight, there seems little enough excuse for the authorities, and the public generally, to have lent the credence they did to the assertions of a plot, but in partial mitigation we should take into account the violence of the times, and the fear that this engendered.
		William Bedloe (1650-1680) and Stephen Dugdale (1640?-1683), equally unsavoury characters who had also wormed their way into Catholic confidence, chipped in with further accusations and, swept up in a national panic, the courts were hasty to condemn and gainful employment for the executioners ensued.

	Miles Prance
		The plot and the murder of Sir Edmund Godfrey caused a sensation in London at the time and the fact that the king was involved and indeed threatened indicates the seriousness and high profile of the events which took place.
		The Popish Plot of 1678 was a series of evidence composed by several fabricators, including Titus Oates, revealing an alleged Jesuit conspiracy to murder Charles11, and secure the succession of his Roman Catholic brother as James 11, through rebellion in Ireland and a Jesuit takeover in London.
		Aside from the executions of many Catholics, the plot led to the dissolution of the Cavalier Parlaiment that had sat since 1661 and the emerging party divisions during the subsequent Exclusion Crisis.

		His secretary, Edward Coleman, had been named by Titus Oates during the Popish Plot as a conspirator to subvert the kingdom.

		Shaftesbury's party (beginning to be known as the “Whigs”;) involved the whole country in a mass movement, primarily by keeping the fears raised by the Popish Plot alive.

	A "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy", Restoration Style
		Oates and the copycat informers who supplemented his fantasy with ever more lurid tales drew on a deep-seated fear of Catholics and Catholicism, heightened by the perception that Romanism was steadily gaining strength and enjoyed special favor at the royal court (where, indeed, the Queen and the King's brother, the Duke of York, were Catholics).
		One reason why the Plot did not claim a far greater number of victims was that Protestant gentry in the countryside refused to believe charges against their Catholic neighbors and protected them from the power of the judiciary.
		Though its long-term impact was minor, the Popish Plot remains of interest to students of Seventeenth Century English politics, English Catholic history and conspiracy manias, for all of whom Professor Kenyon's volume is essential reading.

		On the occasion now mentioned, this influence and the artifice of the popish faction worked very fatally on the passions of parties, and the private interests of individuals; and the ministers, and the Church, and the Dissenters, were bubbles alike of their common enemy.
		Now, whether the King hoped, by dissolving the Parliament, to stop this prosecution; or to soften that of the Popish Plot; or to defeat the project of excluding the Duke of York; his hopes were all disappointed.
		The violent and sanguinary prosecution of the Popish Plot was intended, no doubt, to make the success of the exclusion more secure, by raising the passions of men so high, that no expedient but an absolute and immediate exclusion, in the terms of the bill, should be thought sufficient.

	Israel Tonge (1621 - 1680) - Dictionary of National Biography
		TONGE or TONGUE, ISRAEL or EZEREL [EZREEL] (1621 – 1680), divine and ally of Titus Oates in the fabrication of the ‘popish plot,’ son of Henry Tongue, minister of Holtby, Yorkshire, was born at Tickhill, near Doncaster, on 11 Nov. 1621.
		What seems to have given Tonge the necessary stimulus to proceed with his investigation was a rumour of a popish plot to murder the king and set up the Duke of York in his place, which he heard from one Richard Greene while he was in Herefordshire in 1675.
		Tonge was convinced of the genuineness of Greene’s allegations ‘because’ the alleged plot was hatched in 1675 during the ‘illegal prorogation’ of parliament (The Popish Massacre….

	snarkout: such an ancient pitch
		For one thing, there were Catholics, the bogeymen to Anglicans since the reign of Bloody Mary; in 1605, Guy Fawkes' Gunpowder Plot attempted to snuff out the stirrings of Puritanism and harsh anti-Catholic laws by destroying Parliament, killing the king, and fomenting rebellion.
		Persistant rumors that Catholic saboteurs were behind the 1666 Great Fire of London, a few mysterious deaths and corroborating witnesses, and the eager reporting of anti-Catholic politicians and the popular press were all that were needed to start the killings.
		When Oates and his supporters accused Charles' brother and wife of complicity in the plot, Charles fought back, and the supporters of the "Popish Plot" theory dramatically overplayed their hand.

		In 1678, Titus Oates, an anti-Catholic protester, swore in court that he knew of a Catholic and French plot to murder the King and his Protestant supporters and place a Catholic government in their place.
		The plot was little more than an invention but, during the height of the furore concerning it, a second Test Act was passed which required all members of the Houses of Commons and Lords to swear the oath and make an anti-Catholic declaration.

	Popish Plot
		The Popish Plot of 1678 was the invention of Titus Oates, an Anglican clergyman of dubious connections, and his friend, Dr Israel Tonge, a cleric and passionate anti-Catholic.
		Their story seemed more credible to an already credulous public when Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey, the London magistrate to whom Oates had confided his story, was found murdered on Primrose Hill and when, more by accident than design, a treasonable correspondence was discovered between Edward Coleman, secretary to the Duke of York, and Louis XIV.
		In the years following the Popish Plot, the party political system as we know it began to take shape, replacing the old series of groups linked variously by a common local background, by family ties, or by obligation to a great local landowner etc.
