Garbage.
To put it in the most concise way, it’s about a bunch of Catholic mobs who want to overthrow the English crown And restore Catholic church in England, and they failed. This story would be so elusive for someone who barely knows anything about the English history, especially the religious part.
Briefings of the background:
Spain was the major catholic protector on the European continent at that time, and England has been dominated by Protestantism since King Henry the Eighth. His religious reform enabled the England church to seperate itself from the Roman church, which means that the cardinals and the Pope were no loner able to interfere with the affairs within England in the name of the God. Since then, Churches in Roman had no superiority over their counterparts in England and the English Kings would not need to have the official recognition and to be crowned by the exotic Pope in Roman. Also, the king of the England was also the head of the English church. Although the oppression on Catholic believes was harsh and crude, there were still small groups of ppl secretly have catholic faiths, and one of them called Robert Catesby who wanted to change the status quo by forces and plotted to murder the King and blast the House of Lords with gunpowers.
Not a fan of GOT, and know nothing about Kit Harington. Nothing else to say about.
Different ppl have different fish to fry, this one just not that delicious for me.
