Guy Fawkes was a key figure in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, which aimed to assassinate King James I and blow up the House of Lords. He was part of a group of conspirators, including Robert Catesby, Thomas Wintour, and John Wright, who sought to end Protestant rule in England and restore Catholic leadership. The plot was ultimately foiled, leading to Fawkes' capture and execution, and November 5th is now commemorated as Guy Fawkes Night in the UK.
