This scholarly work delves into one of the great mysteries of English history, concerning the anonymous letter sent to Lord Monteagle, warning him not to attend the Parliament session scheduled for November 5, 1605. The letter is widely believed to have played a crucial role in uncovering the Gunpowder Plot, a conspiracy to blow up the House of Lords and assassinate King James I. The book meticulously examines the context surrounding the letter, particularly focusing on Francis Tresham, a conspirator of the Gunpowder Plot, and his potential involvement in sending the letter. It discusses Tresham's background, his familial connections to the recipients of the letter, and the implications of his actions. The narrative intricately analyzes the handwriting of the letter, ultimately identifying it as that of William Vavasour, a servant to Tresham. It suggests that Vavasour's motivations and actions were intertwined with those of Tresham, revealing the complicated web of alliances and betrayals among the conspirators. Overall, this work offers a detailed investigation into the events leading up to the Gunpowder Plot and the significance of the anonymous letter in this pivotal moment in British history.
