Everard Digby
Sir Everard Digby (May 16 1578 - January 30 1606) was one of those inculpated in the abortive 1605 Gunpowder Plot to assassinate James I of England and Members of Parliament. Knighted by James on the way to his accession to the throne, Digby became involved in the plot only late in the day, and his involvement was thought to be purely of a fiscal nature. Nevertheless he was tried and executed with all the unpleasantness of the traitor's death of those times.
