So you're still with the Guy Fawkes issue, for I still see you have not changed your avatar for awhile. In fact, it is not much different from the last avatar you had on FE, if I am correct? lol Anyway, well about the issue of the Gunpowder Plot: What would have happened to the English monarchy if Guy Fawkes was successful? Would the heirs be actually Catholic? Would there an overthrow of the government for a time? What of Parliament? Of course, it would all be speculation on our part if we wanted to try to answer these questions, but what happened happened. It was probably attempted regicide because James I was indeed the legitimate monarch over England. It was just sad though that he was not a Catholic. If it were not for the Scots chasing out his mother the Queen Mary from Scotland, he would have been most likely raised Catholic, but tragically he ended up being brought up in Protestantism. His son and two grandsons who took the throne later on had some more Catholic leanings. Well, Charles I may have had some, but I do not think he was too much for Rome. I know Charles II converted on his deathbed, and James II was the last Catholic monarch of England. Would Charles I, Charles II, and James II have each taken the throne then if Guy Fawkes was successful in his plot? Who knows? All Catholics could really do sadly under persecution in England at the time was either go into hiding or leave the country to go somewhere else in order to practice the Catholic religion freely.
