who was king when guy fawkes lived

Guy Fawkes lived during the late Elizabethan and early Stuart period, with his life spanning roughly from around 1570 to 1606. He is best known for his role in the Gunpowder Plot against King James I, which aimed to blow up Parliament in 1605. This places his lifetime squarely in the early 17th century under James I of England (who was also James VI of Scotland) and the late reign of Elizabeth I, who had died in 1603. If you’d like, I can provide more precise biographical details or timelines based on specific dates.
