some mad cool guys
In 1605, Guy Fawkes, who was part of a team to blow up King James I, placed many barrels of gunpowder under the Houses of Parliament to try and kill him in what was dubbed the 'Gunpowder Plot'. However, before he did it he was caught by guards and later sentenced to death. Even after much torturing he did not reveal the names of the other members of his team.Every year on 5th November an effigy of Guy Fawkes is burnt on bonfires across the UK, sometimes called 'Bonfire Night'. Fireworks are also fired as well.
One of the Catholic gang who intended to blow up the (mainly Protestant) House of Lords sent a letter to a Catholic Peer to warn him. He became suspicious and a search of the cellars was carried out. The gunpowder was discovered and Guy Fawkes captured when he came to explode it.
