What is the story about guy Fawkes?

Guy Fawkes was a man born on 13th April 1570 in York who died in January 1606. He was the most famous plotter of the 1605 Gunpowder Plot, a plan to blow up King James I of England. He was caught attempting to light a fuse underneath the House of Lords and then tortured for information. On 31st January, 1606, he and his co-conspirators were due to be executed, on which day Guy Fawkes commited suicide. Bonfire Night (November 5th) was a public holiday until the late 1800s. One popular tradition is burning effigies or 'guys' on a - surprise, surprise - bonfire. The word 'guy' first entered the English language with this meaning, but then went on to mean any male person. And all because of Guy.

What is so significant about the gunpowder plot?

There were three major candidates to succeed Queen Elizabeth, and two of them favored greater religious tolerance toward Catholics (Who had to practice in secret at the time because of England's anti-catholic laws.) James I was the one who did not favor religious tolerance, and was the one to secure the throne after Queen Elizabeth passed away. The Gunpowder plot was an attempt to assassinate James I by blowing up the House of Lords. The plot was discovered ant thwarted, and as a result even more oppressive anti-catholic laws were created.
