Guy Fawkes was executed on January 31, 1606, after being captured during the Gunpowder Plot. Although he was not literally "torched," he was hanged, drawn, and quartered, a common form of execution at the time. His death marked the end of a failed attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London. The date of his execution is commemorated annually in the UK as Guy Fawkes Night on November 5.
