He was executed because he tried to blow up the parliament with a group.

The plan involved blowing up the Houses of Parliament on 5th November. This date was chosen because the king was due to open Parliament on that day.

At first the group tried to tunnel under Parliament but found out that they can rent a cellar under the houses of lords. But Guy Fawkes was caught when he was going to explode the gunpowder.

Guy Fawkes was found guilty of treason and executed along with Thomas Wintour, on 31st January, 1606.

The two men were both hanged, drawn and quartered
