Guy Fawkes

I believe that Guy Fawkes was innocent as King James had a secretary(Robert Cecil)

and sometimes he would lend him the key to the tower where all the gun powder was stored. It was locked all the time, so Guy Fawkes couldn't have got in because he was catholic and at this point Catholics were disliked because the king was protestant, also Cecil hated catholics very much and wanted to get rid of them so this would be the perfect plan. As well people would notice if there were 36 massive barrels went missing.

Cecil also wanted to warn catholics by this execution of Guy Fawkes so that they would not mess with him or anyone else in England because he literally detested Catholics.

Guy Fawkes attended St Peters School in York.

he commited treason

guy Fawkes was in the celler but as time has gone by it has been proved that the celler was really an underground passage to a busy garden and that guy Fawkes wasnt actually arrested in the celler he was arrested outside it. also there was never an underground tunnel that linked to the house of Parliament because if there was how come it was never found and if cecil did show them the "tunnel" he would of loooked bad because he would of been the only person to know. plus the plotters would never dream of sending a letter because that linked to evidance really as the experts on writing has looked it shows cecil forged his writing so it didnt look like his because if the plotters was that worried about lord monteagle surley they would of went to him so that her didnt have evidence and the plottors wouldn't have been found so whilest we have been saying cecil is the savour really he could have been the plottor to make catholics look bad.

He was Hung, Drawn and Quartered.

There may be other events that happened in between but that was the end result.

To kill King James, in order to prevent the publishing of the 1611 King James bible.

becase the king wasnt treating catholics fairly

5th November 1605. An English nursery rhyme starts with "remember, remember the 5th of November, gunpowder, fire and plot."

no he wasn't but we don't know if it is guy Fawkes who people put on the bonfire!

The Gunpowder Plot was intended to blow up the English "House of Lords" while the King was conducting the state opening. This would have killed or injured the King, most of his Ministers and the Members of both houses. This would effectively have destroyed the government of England, and left Scotland without a king and several important figures in attendance at the English Parliament.

The resulting chaos throughout Britain would have permitted a Catholic Rising to replace James with his Daughter and possibly reverse or alter the Reformation in favour of the Catholics. However the plot was not particularly well organised and probably wouldn't have got that far even if the gunpowder had gone off.

The gunpowder plot was discovered when a member of Guy Fawkes' gang wrote a letter to one of his friends that was going to be in parliament on the day of the plot, telling him to stay away from there and why. The friend showed the letter to parliament, and they then sent guards to search the houses. In one of the cellars they found Guy Fawkes, ready to light the fuse.

There was conflict between the catholics and the king.The Catholics wanted to blow up the Houses of Parliament while the King was there holding an important meeting. They hired Guy Fawkes! Unfortunately one of the MP's had been warned about the explosion and he alerted everyone. Guards were sent to look for the gun powder and they found Guy Fawkes with it!!! He was tortured horribly until he confessed. People wonder who it was sho told the MP the plan!!

hope it helps...jessxxx

We will never know...

Well you have to consider all facts . Because James I was scottish and wanted people to like him so he could of set the whole thing up but as the person above said we will never know :)

LOL

There are lots of reasons to believe that the gunpowder plot was set up and lots to believe it was a genuine plot. read the book 'the making of the UK 1500-1750' it has quite alot of information and sources on page 56-59.

Guy Fawkes was baptized an Anglican. He converted to the Holy Roman Church after Trent and served against Elizabeth I in the attempted coup in her later life. He became involved in Roman Catholic plots against James I and took part in what is known as the Gunpowder Plot in 1605. This was an attempt by Romanists to wipe out the English establishment including all but one of the Royal Family. The exception was the future 'Winter Queen,' Elizabeth of Bohemia! She was twelve years old and her fate was to be married to a future Roman Catholic contender for the throne after her Father and brother were wiped out by the plotters.

Interestingly, James was quite prepared to give toleration to Roman Catholics; after all, his mother was one. He considered himself to be a Catholic,, not a Roman, but he was a strong follower, or believer, in the Ecumenical Councils of the early church of the first thousand years and only opposed the post Trent Church. His wife, Anne of Denmark was one, so he was no enemy. All he asked was that they took an oath of loyalty to the Crown as everyone else did. The Romans were for the most part quite willing, but the pope denied them permission! Guy Fawkes was a Roman Catholic, a sightly different thing!

because he was in the army and had the the job to pack gunpowder so he had lots of experience in lighting and making gunpowder.

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

in modern English his name is Guy Fawkes. In the 1590's his name has been recorded as Guye Faux and later as Guye Fawkes. It is also recorded as Guido Fawkes and this may be accepted as his real name

If you mean Guy Fawkes, he did not. But he got caught in the act of preparing to do so. His goal was to kill the members of Parliament, and destroy the government,
