On the run

Catesby - remember he was the leader and the brains behind the plot - wasn't ready to give up yet. He couldn't blow up Parliament or kill the King, but he still wanted to rebel against the government.

While Fawkes was facing the King, Catesby and what was left of his gang fled and headed for the Midlands. They stole some horses from Warwick Castle and rode off in search of more men to help them.

Meanwhile, in London, the government were desperate to find out who the plotters were. They closed the ports, sent out notices calling for their capture and even asked an astrologer to help find them.
