  6. #OTD 1606 the trial of Guy Fawkes & 7 others, for attempting to blow up the Parliament House, began in Westminster Hall. The Attorney General, Sir Edward Coke, prosecuted the case, and spectators paid up to 10s for admittance. There was never any doubt as to the verdict – all eight were condemned and executed by being hanged, drawn and quartered. The background to the plot is explained in the masterly ‘God’s Traitors’ by Jessie Childs – reviewed here. bit.ly/1BjGCTu #stuarts #histodons

  17. #OTD 1521, the Scottish government led by John, Duke of Albany (pic) during the minority of James V, agreed a treaty that was both offensive and defensive, with France. It was expressed largely as a treaty to protect both countries from invasion by England. King James was to be married to one of the daughters of King Francois, when they reached a suitable age. bit.ly/1SiDvSC #stewarts #stuarts #jamesv #francoisI #scotland #scottishhistory
