Guy Fawkes (1570 – 1606) was part of the infamous “Gunpowder Plot”, a plan by Catholic rebels to blow up the British Houses of Parliament and King James I on November 5, 1605. The conspiracy was leaked by a letter to Lord Monteagle, and Guy Fawkes was arrested and hanged. every year on November 5, Guy Fawkes Day is celebrated with fireworks and the burning of Fawkes in effigy.
