Gunpowder Percy

It’s 1603, and Sir Thomas Percy can’t stay away from the Globe playhouse and the history plays London is mad for. Inspired by the warrior Hotspur in Shakespeare’s Henry IV, he joins a group of disaffected Catholics that includes the mysterious traveler Guido Fawkes and the rebel aristocrat Robin Catesby. Together they and the women who love them embark on a quest to destroy a Protestant king and return the nation to a mythic medieval past.
