Who was Guy Fawkes?
Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament by sneaking in lots of gunpowder That's how you put it basically. Guy Fawkes wanted to practise Roman Catholic procedures… but wasn't allowed under King James VI rule. So to try and "teach them a lesson" he decided, along with others, to blow up all the government officials, King James and his family. All of these people would be in the House of Parliament on the 5th of November for the legislature ( to change the laws that need to be changed) and they thought that day would be perfect. They piled ten tons of gunpowder into the cellar of the House Of Parliament. Unfortunately, they had sent an anonymous letter to a old friend, Lord Monteagle, telling him to stay away from the House of Parliament on the 5th of November. Lord Monteagle became suspicious and handed the note to the police. They decided to do a full search of the building and in the early morning of the 5th of November, they discovered all the gunpowder. So they didn't alert the conspirators, they left all the gunpowder there and waited for a conspirator to go down there so then they could find out who was behind it and what they were planning to do. Guy Fawkes was the caught as he was about to light the gunpowder. they arrested him and discovered nearly all the other conspirators. Only one man escaped and was never found. Those that were found were held until 31st January 1606 when they were put on trial and charged with treason, punishable by being hung, drawn and quartered. Meaning that they were hung until the were dead then they pulled out their entrails before slicing their bodies into quarters often to be sent to the four corners of the land as examples with the head displayed locally. Guy Fawkes day is now celebrated every year on the 5th of November by many fireworks being lit. It is mainly only celebrated in British countries or countries recently become independent from Britain for example Australia and New Zealand. He is a man who tried to blow up parliament in 1605 on the 5th of November, he almost succeeded but the morning he was going to do it he was caught. He was hung early the next year. Guy Forks day is celebrated in different parts of the world on the 5th of November every year. The film 'V for Vendetta' is based on this. Good film!

Why did guy Fawkes do?
Most British people know that the Gunpowder Plot was simply to get rid of the Protestant king (who disliked Catholics). James I was simply another Protestant monarch to get ri…d of. Guy Fawkes was smuggled back to Britain from Spain to help with the plot, since he was...um...an explosives expert. Most historians believe, though, that the plotters were encouraged by spies and the plot was all a trick.
Who was guy Fawkes and what did he do?
Guy Fawkes was a man born on 13th April 1570 in York who died in January 1606. He was the most famous plotter of the 1605 Gunpowder Plot, a plan to blow up King James I of Eng…land. He was caught attempting to light a fuse underneath the House of Lords and then tortured for information. On 31st January, 1606, he and his co-conspirators were due to be executed, on which day Guy Fawkes commited suicide. Bonfire Night (November 5th) was a public holiday until the late 1800s. One popular tradition is burning effigies or 'guys' on a - surprise, surprise - bonfire. The word 'guy' first entered the English language with this meaning, but then went on to mean any male person. And all because of Guy.

How long was Guy Fawkes tortured?
The answer previously provided details the death by hanging,drawin, and quartering of the convicted Guy (Guido) Fawkes. Fawkes had somewhat cooperated with his captors after …having beenarrested in the cellars below Parliament's chambers at WestministerHall. Fawkes gave a partial list of co-conspirators, His Majesty,King James, who was to have been the primary victim of theGunpowder Plot, was not satisfied that Guy Fawkes had fullyconfessed and cooperated with authorities. The King, therefore,wrote out a detailed set of tortures, becoming progressively moreintense and maiming and painful. This writing was communicated tothe Lord Lieutentant of the Tower and still exists. Formally, the King's letter indicated that His Majesty desired thatGuy Fawkes be "put to the question" because Fawkes was bound overto the civil law and the legal process could not further proceeduntil Fawkes had properly pleaded his crime. Generally, Fawkes would have been asked again to detail hisconfession. If not inclusive of further parties to the Plot againstthe King's person, he would have been roughed up--usually, slappedand/or punched in the face with a gloved head. (The accused stillhad to appear in court.) More sturdy men could have withstood thisabuse. The next step, after a brief rest period was to choke thevictim with a cloth to the point passing out, release the cloth andlet the victim revive. This was mostly a terror technique. The nextstep was to use thumbscrews on the non-writing hand of a man whocould read and write. This vice-like device was placed on eitherside of the thumb and slowly tightened to the point of eitherbreaking the thumb or dislocating the first joint. This torture wasquite painful and caused the victim to pass out. This torture couldbe repeated on the other fingers, again non-writing hand first. If this got no answer to the question, the boot could be used. Awooden vice-like device that resembled a wooden half boot that wasslipped over the barefoot of the victim. As with the thumbscrews,the boot was tightened until the foot was either dislocated,broken, or the ankle severely compressed. This particular torturecould only be used once since it was maiming. Remember, the victimhad to appear in court after the confession, under the question,was obtained. Less often, the English used the strappado--looks like two hoops,but the victim was doubled over into the device, with the hoopsbeing drawn tighter. Generally, the victim was left horriblycontorted in this device for a period of time as gravity and lackof movement took their toll. Most victims fainted from the pain andnumbness this torture caused. It could take a victim two days tofinally regain feeling and movement after being placed in thestrappado. This device left no marks. Pincers, look like tongs for removing nails from horseshoes, couldbe heated or used cold on the victim's bare skin; face, neck,hands, wrists, and sometimes forearms excepted--the victim had toappear in court. As one might expect, pincers, literally, apinching device, raised a very tender, red welt and, if heated, athird degree burn. This torture was the first of thelife-threatening tortures and was closely supervised so the victimwas not killed. The rack was available and this deviced had the victim lying on hisback on what look liked a bedstead without the mattress and a winchat one end. Ropes were looped on the victim's wrists and ankles.The crank was turned was turned a quarter to a full crank--atfirst, to cause general aching in the limbs. If the victim did notcomply, the limbs were pulled until the arms were dislocated fromthe shoulder sockets as were legs from the hip sockets. A victim ofthis torture could take several days to revive. If the warden was really trying to prove his point on the victim,he might use one torture that was common to the battlefield whichwas the use of a heated metal rod. The victim's trousers anddrawers were lowered, he was bent over a table or sawhorse, and themetal rod applied against the victim's anus. This torture was meantto humilate, disorient, cause intense discomfort, and a nearimmediate response to the question. This torture was consideredextreme and could only be used once because it could put the victiminto shock and potentially kill. All the while, the victim was given only bread and water since itwas thought that refusing sustenance was inhuman. Very clearly, Guy Fawkes was put to the question; tortured, firstby beating, then by thumbscrews. The boot was probably not employedbecause he jumped to his death. He was probably placed in thestrappado and then racked. His signature on the confession of 9November has a barely readable signature.
