Answer 1

Answer:

James I ordered that Catholics who did not attend Church of England (Protestant) services should be fined, and was reported to detest the Catholic religion. This led to greater opposition to him from Catholics, including the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, which attempted to kill the King and blow up Parliament. The plotters were caught and were executed for high treason.
