This book is a biography of Sir Everard Digby, a member of a group of English Catholics who orchestrated the infamous Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Despite being raised Protestant and marrying a Protestant, Digby converted to Catholicism after being influenced by Jesuit priest John Gerard. He later met Robert Catesby, who masterminded the plan to blow up the House of Lords with gunpowder and spark a popular revolt, with the ultimate goal of restoring a Catholic monarch to the English throne. The book explores Digby's motivations and his role in the plot, as well as the broader political and religious context of the time.
