Catesbys group rented a small room beneath the House of Lords and filled it with gunpowder.The plot was exposed when Lord Monteagle，a member of the House of Lords，received a letter warning him to avoid Parliament.On November 4，government officials searched the room and found the gunpowder and Guy Fawkes，the man who was in charge of setting off the explosion.Eight men，including Fawkes，were tried and sentenced to death.
