Did you know that Shakespeare's Macbeth refers to the #GunpowderPlot ? To commemorate the plot, King James I had a medal made depicting a snake hiding amongst flowers. Macbeth refers to this medal.
Lady Macbeth: ...look like the innocent flower, But be the serpent under't.

It’s the 5th Nov, 1605 & Sir John Wynn is advised by his physician, Thomas Wiliems (known Catholic recusant & scholar) not to attend the opening of Parliament. Fascinating to think Sir John was one of the few people to have prior knowledge of the #GunpowderPlot , however veiled.
In 1605 they recoiled against the state. Let the ghosts of past, dead generations rekindle a flame which obliterates the new state.
