 Biographies: Robert Catesby
Robert's father, Sir William Catesby, was a conscientious adherent to the Catholic faith, a prime supporter of the Jesuit mission and one of the leaders of the catholic cause, for which he suffered greatly.
Catesby apparently fought valiantly in spite of an injury.
Catesby felt that "the nature of the disease required so sharp a remedy", and that the Plot was a morally justifiable act of self-defence against the oppressive rule of a tyrant.

 Robert CATESBY
Robert Catesby was the only surviving son of Sir William Catesby of Lapworth and Anne Throckmorton of Coughton, his elder brother William having died in infancy.
Sir William Catesby was later assigned a project, which met with the approval of Queen Elizabeth, of founding a catholic colony in America, but this plan was later abandoned in the face of Spanish hostility.
Catesby had initially held hope of improvement under James I, due to the promises earlier made by James to Thomas Percy of such, James' support of the Earl of Essex against Cecil, and the subsequent favour shown to both Essex's supporters and prominent catholics at the beginning of the reign.

CATESBY, ROBERT (1573-1605), English conspirator, son of Sir William Catesby of Lapworth in Warwickshire, a prominent recusant who was a descendant of Sir William Catesby, speaker of the House of Commons in 1484, executed by Henry VII.
On receiving the news of the letter on the 28th, Catesby exhibited extraordinary coolness and fortitude, and refused to abandon the attempt, hoping that the government might despise the warning and still neglect precautions; and his confidence was strengthened by Fawkess report that nothing in the cellar had been touched or tampered with.
Here it need only be said that Catesby, after the discovery of the conspiracy, fled with his fellow-plotters, taking refuge ultimately at Holbeche in Staff ordshire, where on the night of the 8th of November he was overtaken and killed.

 The Gunpowder Plot
Of these, the undoubted leader was Robert Catesby, son of Sir William Catesby, a prominent Catholic leader in the reign of Elizabeth I. Of these men the first four had noble connections, but Fawkes was nothing more than a disaffected soldier.
The opening of Parliament was put off, but Catesby used the time to draw more men into the circle of conspirators, including Jesuit leaders, while Fawkes made trips to the Low Countries for fresh powder to replace that which was beginning to spoil.
Catesby and his fellows who had died at Holbeche House were exhumed and their heads placed on pikes for public display.

The intention of this vicious trio was to target King James, his wife Queen Anne, their son and heir Prince Henry, the privy councillors, nobility, clergy, judges and principal gentlemen of England - and blast them all to kingdom come during the ceremony of the State Opening of Parliament.
Catesby, the mastermind and charismatic leader of the tight knit band of plotters, paid no attention to the mayhem his actions would have caused in the country at large, having been corrupted by hatred of Protestant rulers during the long reign of Queen Elizabeth I (who died in 1603).
Some of the wealth of the Catesbys had been squeezed from them by the fitful administration of anti-Catholic laws in Elizabethan England.

 Guy Fawkes and the gunpowder plot
Unfortunately, he was not, and several young men, led by Robert Catesby (son of Sir William Catesby, a prominent leader in the Catholic community), decided that violent and extreme action was the only solution.
They devised a plan to blow up the Houses of Parliament killing the King, possibly the Prince of Wales, and the Members of Parliament presumably in the belief that they would be replaced by a new monarch who might be more sympathetic to the Catholic cause.
On 26th October, however, William Parker, 4th Baron Monteagle received an anonymous letter warning him not to attend the opening of parliament on November 5th.

 William Bartram as Artist
By the time Bartram’s illustrations appeared in Travels, in Elements of Botany, and in several other scientific publications in the United States,(267) the quality and sophistication of American art had increased so dramatically from the period of Bartram ’s youth that the pictures were of little interest to any but readers with scientific interests.
It is little wonder, therefore, that his early pictures reflect the styles of Mark Catesby and George Edwards whose books John Bartram owned.
[Compare for example, Catesby’s “Small Bittern” (c1730) or “Yellow and Black Pye” (c1735) to Bartram’s “Magnolia Warbler” (c1755–6).](274) The poses and subject/background relationships are almost identical.
