1605... 30 full barrels of gunpowder under the Parlement building of London. Would have blown the ever loving shit out of every politician in England had it worked. The Conspirators (Catholics... well religion and politics. You know how it goes.) would have succeeded if they hadn't been ratted out by an anonymous letter.

The culprits were caught, hung, drawn and quartered and hung up around London... although James I did say to Guy Fawkes before he was hung "I like your style."
