Political intrigue
The Jesuits were temporarily banished from France in 1594 after a man named
Jean Châtel tried to assassinate the king of France,
Henri IV. Under questioning, Châtel revealed that he had been educated by the Jesuits of the Collège de Clermont. The Jesuits were accused of inspiring Châtel's attack. Two of his former teachers were exiled and a third was hanged.
[53] The Collège de Clermont was closed, and the building was confiscated. The Jesuit Order was banned from France, although this ban was quickly lifted.
In England,
Henry Garnet, one of the leading English Jesuits, was hanged for
misprision of treason because of his knowledge of the
Gunpowder Plot (1605). The Plot was the attempted assassination of
King James I of England and VI of Scotland, his family, and most of the
Protestant aristocracy in a single attack, by exploding the
Houses of Parliament. Another Jesuit,
Oswald Tesimond, managed to escape arrest for his involvement in the Gunpowder Plot.
