I">James I</a> with a <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Church_in_England_and_Wales#Tudor_period_and_Catholic_resistance" title="Catholic Church in England and Wales">Catholic</a> sovereign. Rookwood was born into a wealthy family of Catholic <a href="/wiki/Recusants" class="mw-redirect" title="Recusants">recusants</a>, and educated by <a href="/wiki/Society_of_Jesus" class="mw-redirect" title="Society of Jesus">Jesuits</a> in <a href="/wiki/Flanders" title="Flanders">Flanders</a>. His older brother became a <a href="/wiki/Franciscan" class="mw-redirect" title="Franciscan">Franciscan</a>, and his two younger brothers were ordained as Catholic priests. Rookwood became a <a href="/wiki/Horse-breeder" class="mw-redirect" title="Horse-breeder">horse-breeder</a>. He married the Catholic Elizabeth Tyrwhitt, and had at least two sons. </p><p>He was enlisted into the plot in September 1605 by <a href="/wiki/Robert_Catesby" title="Robert Catesby">Robert Catesby</a>, a religious <a href="/wiki/Zealot" class="mw-redirect" title="Zealot">zealot</a> whose impatience with James' treatment of English Catholics had grown so severe that he conspired to blow up the <a href="/wiki/Westminster_Palace#The_Old_Palace" class="mw-redirect" title="Westminster Palace">House of Lords</a> with gunpowder, killing the king and much of the Protestant hierarchy. With the other conspirators he had recruited, Catesby also planned to incite a rebellion in <a href="/wiki/The_Midlands" class="mw-redirect" title="The Midlands">the Midlands</a>, during which James's nine-year-old daughter <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_of_Bohemia" class="mw-redirect" title="Elizabeth of Bohemia">Princess Elizabeth</a> would be captured, and installed as titular queen. Rookwood's stable of fine horses was essential for the uprising to succeed. </p><p>The explosion was planned to coincide with the <a href="/wiki/State_Opening_of_Parliament" title="State Opening of Parliament">State Opening of Parliament</a> on 5 November 1605, but the man left in charge of the gunpowder stored beneath the House of Lords, <a href="/wiki/Guy_Fawkes" title="Guy Fawkes">Guy Fawkes</a>, was discovered there and arrested. Rookwood fled the city, and informed Catesby and the others of the plan's failure. Together the remaining conspirators rode to <a href="/wiki/Holbeche_House" title="Holbeche House">Holbeche House</a> in Staffordshire, where on 8 November they were attacked by the pursuing <a href="/wiki/Sheriff_of_Worcester" class="mw-redirect" title="Sheriff of Worcester">Sheriff of Worcester</a> and his men.

Some of the prisoners hung their heads "as if their hearts were full of doggedness", while others were nonchalant. All except Digby pleaded "Not Guilty".<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Defending himself, Rookwood claimed that he had been enlisted into the plot through his friendship with Catesby, "whom he loved above any worldly man". He admitted that he could not expect mercy, but asked for it anyway, so as not to leave a "blemish and blot unto all ages".<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>His pleas were in vain.

The following day, Rookwood, Thomas Wintour, Robert Keyes and Guy Fawkes were tied to <a href="/wiki/Wattle_and_daub" title="Wattle and daub">wattled</a> <a href="/wiki/Hurdle" title="Hurdle">hurdles</a> and dragged by horse from the Tower, to the Old Palace Yard at Westminster—a longer route than had been suffered by their fellow conspirators. Rookwood had asked to be informed when he passed by his lodgings in the Strand, so that he could open his eyes and see his wife, waiting at the window. He shouted "Pray for me, pray for me!" According to Father Gerard (who was not then present), Elizabeth answered, "I will, and be of good courage. Offer theyself wholly to God. I, for my part, do as freely restore thee to God as He gave thee unto me." For the rest of the journey he kept his eyes closed, in prayer. Thomas Wintour was the first that day to be hanged and then killed. Rookwood was next, and made a short speech to the assembled audience. He was repentant, asking God to bless the king, queen, and their "royal progeny", but "spoil[ed] all the pottage with one filthy weed" by beseeching God to make the king a Catholic. He seems to have been left to hang for longer than the others, before suffering the remainder of his sentence.<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36"><span
