Yes, Guy Fawkes's head was indeed placed on a spike as a gruesome display after his execution in 1606. Following his capture during the Gunpowder Plot, where he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament, Fawkes was sentenced to death for treason. His severed head was displayed on a spike on Westminster Hall as a warning to others. This act was a common practice at the time to deter treason and rebellion.
