Black-Friers 1623'. Corpses buried beneath the rubble of a building collapse. A disaster, and an event claimed as a judgement on papists, the victims being Catholics.
The Fatal Vespers is the name given to a disaster in Hunsdon House, Blackfriars, London, at the French ambassador's house in the year 1623.
On the 5 November 1623 about three hundred persons assembled in an upper room at the French ambassador's residence, Hunsdon House, Blackfriars, for the purpose of participating in a religious service by Robert Drury and William Whittingham, two Jesuits. 
While Drury was preaching the great weight of the crowd in the old room suddenly snapped the main summer-beam of the floor, which instantly crashed in and fell into the room below. The main beams there also snapped and broke through to the ambassador's drawing-room over the gate-house, a distance of twenty-two feet. Part of the floor, being less crowded, stood firm, and the people on it cut a way through a plaster wall into a neighbouring room. The two Jesuits were killed on the spot. About ninety-five persons lost their lives, while many others sustained serious injuries.
Some people regard this calamity as a judgment on the Catholics, "so much was God offended with their detestable idolatrie". Since the date of the event was in the new-style calendar 5 November, several commentators perceived the event as divine vengeance for the Gunpowder Plot.
