The Bye Plot was a conspiracy by a Roman Catholic priest, William Watson, to kidnap King James I of England and to force him to repeal anti-Catholic legislation. In 1603, the plot was exposed by English Jesuits led by Father Henry Garnet, who informed the government of the conspiracy because they were afraid of retribution against members of their faith if the plan failed, and also because of Jesuit suspicion regarding the political motivations of secular priests.
