On 13th May, in a house behind St. Clements Inn rented by the Jesuit priest,
John Gerard, the original five conspirators met to take the oath: Robert Catesby,
Thomas Wintour, John Wright, Guy Fawkes and Thomas Percy. After the administration
of the oath, they took the sacrament in an adjoining room to seal their compact.
This being done, Catesby revealed to Percy his plan to blow up Parliament and Percy
joined their number.
And so begins our series on the Gun Powder Incident. We will be adding many pages
to this series on Thomas Percy, John Wright, Christopher Wright and others. The
following articles are just a begining.
