Guy Fawkes gained access to the Houses of Parliament through a plot to blow it up during the State Opening of Parliament in 1605. He and his co-conspirators rented a cellar beneath the building, where they stored barrels of gunpowder. Fawkes was tasked with guarding the explosives and was caught on November 5, when authorities discovered him in the cellar. This event led to his arrest and subsequent execution, marking the failure of the Gunpowder Plot.
