Fellow Fawkes is not by any means the only individual to attempt to topple the leader of his day. He is likewise not by any means the only one to fizzle and be sentenced to death. Someone else set to endure this destiny is the Jacobean, William Maxwell, also called Lord Nithsdale. His wrongdoing is to have upheld and assumed a huge part in the Catholic drove, Jacobite resistance of 1715 that backings the Old Pretender's endeavor to grab the throne once again from its Protestant King for himself. The Jacobite drives at first have a few victories yet at the Battle of Preston in Lancashire they are soundly beaten. In the consequent consequence Lord Nithsdale is captured on the fourteenth November of 1716 and moved to the Tower of London.
His future prospects look depressing. Maybe hopelessly he concedes at his trial and asks the King for an exoneration on the premise that he felt pressurized into joining the disobedience to his will. The King is in no inclination for conceding kindness thus in January 1717 he sentences him to death for high injustice on 24 February. Such is the King's dismay that Lord Nithsdale is requested to endure the anger and repulsiveness of being hung, drawn and quartered.
In many occurrences this would be the end of the story as the detainee reluctantly acknowledges that there is little they can do to change their destiny. However what makes this story diverse is the stubborn resolution of his wife, Winifred, the Countess of Nithsdale. She basically can not acknowledge existence without her spouse and is readied to go to any length to help him.
When she hears the news about her spouse she races from York to London. When her carriage gets stuck in snow she just changes to horseback for whatever is left of the excursion. At last she touches base in London and quickly visits different Lords to urge them to appeal to the King. It is for waste however as the King scornfully disregards the appeal for Nithsdale and declines to see her.
