Guy Fawkes

a number of catholic conspiritors including guy Fawkes tried to burn down the houses of parliament with the gun powder plot..

i don't know the rest but i think basically they put him on the fire to burn.

He attempted to blow up the houses of parliament with a massive amount of gunpowder hidden in the cellars. He was caught just as he was about to light the fuse. He was a catholic, and was trying to assassinate the king - who was a protestant.

No one. Guy Fawkes is dead.

Guy Fawkes attempted the Gunpowder Plot in 1605

Guy Fawkes became a symbol of resistance against government oppression following the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605, which aimed to assassinate King James I and restore Catholic rule in England. His legacy is commemorated annually on November 5th, known as Guy Fawkes Night, where people celebrate with bonfires and fireworks, emphasizing themes of protest and civil disobedience. The figure of Fawkes has also been repurposed in modern times, notably by the Anonymous movement, signifying a broader fight against tyranny and injustice. His story continues to inspire discussions about governance, freedom, and the right to dissent.

Guy Fawkes day, November 5, is celebrated in England with fireworks and bonfires, on which effigies of the Fawkes are burned.

One of the Catholic gang who intended to blow up the (mainly Protestant) House of Lords sent a letter to a Catholic Peer to warn him. He became suspicious and a search of the cellars was carried out. The gunpowder was discovered and Guy Fawkes captured when he came to explode it.

Robert Cecil found guy Fawkes in the cellar. Robert Cecil was the Kings advisor, and hated catholics.

If you mean why did guy fawkes so on then he wanted to because he wanted everyone to know that he was the one who did this so that the cathlics would know that it was him who killed the king but it didnt turn out that way did it.

Hope this helps

Guy Fawkes was found with 36 barrels of gunpowder underneath parliament, and sentenced to death. He was tortured and then executed. On November 5th, 1605 Guy Fawkes was burned at the stake. Today the day of his death (November 5th) is known as Guy Fawkes day.

No, he was found out and tourtured to his death

Because he had several disagreements with the mafia and the mafia didn't like the king and so told him if he wanted to live he had to go and blow up Parliament and they would be even and so he said yes because not only did he want his debt settled but he also did not like the King because he slept with his wife

The original celebration of Guy Fawkes Night happened partly because Guy Fawkes plot was intended to help return England to the Catholic Church, and most English people were very much against that. America's traditions were based on religious tolerance, and the celebration of Guy Fawkes Night would seem contrary to their feelings.

The celebration of Guy Fawkes Night is partly because of the fact that the king was saved from the plotters. Americans generally do not care for the monarchy.

Americans celebrate Thanksgiving and Veterans Day in November, so they do not much need another holiday that month.

King James I dealt severely with Catholic Christians; locking them up in prison ordering for their murder and taking their money simply because they followed a foreign leader, alias The Pope. The Catholics were annoyed at this and decided to take action through a group of plotters and their Leader Guido Fawkes (Guy Fawkes); and realised that killing the King not only would they triumph amongst normal Christians thus popularising Catholicism, they could also bring a Catholic-born King/Queen to power.

Guido Fawkes and his gang of plotters decided they would murder the King by blowing up the Houses of Parliament while the court was in session, not just killing themselves and the king, but his councillors too. Francis Tresham knew a man that would be there, namely Lord Mounteagle, so decided to write a letter to him asking for the Lord to make up an excuse to miss the council that day, for he felt he would be held responsible for his death. The Lord received this letter from a man in disguise, and obviously thought that this was strange so consulted the King. The councillors laughed at the idea, but James believed this to be a gunpowder plot. Some people were sent down to the cellars to investigate, and found Fawkes waiting to set off the gunpowder. Gunpowder was restricted in those days, and it is said that Fawkes and his men bought the barrels off of Cecil.

In my opinion, I think the whole thing was in fact just a set up made by Robert Cecil (King James' Right-hand man) and Francis Tresham (was seen with Cecil on November 5th, and was the one who sent the letter to Monteagle; this implies that Tresham was like the Devil's advocate, in the way that he was seen to have been on the plotters' side as well!) , in a plot to get back at the Catholics. I can prove this because the letter that was sent to Monteagle was done nothing to by the government and no actions were took until November 4th; the 36 barrels of Gunpowder were bought off Cecil, the only man who could give it to them since he was a man of the Government; Historical records for 1605 were mysteriously destroyed; and the government always knew who the conspirators were (why would they tell them where they were anyway?!) I think by all these pieces of evidence that the plotters were framed by Cecil and his men. With him and the rest of the Government just wanting the Catholics out of the way, he may have just put them in this position and execution to scare the other Catholics in England. Most of the evidence collected seems to suggest that Fawkes and the other Conspirators were framed.

The answer previously provided details the death by hanging, drawin, and quartering of the convicted Guy (Guido) Fawkes.

Fawkes had somewhat cooperated with his captors after having been arrested in the cellars below Parliament's chambers at Westminister Hall. Fawkes gave a partial list of co-conspirators, His Majesty, King James, who was to have been the primary victim of the Gunpowder Plot, was not satisfied that Guy Fawkes had fully confessed and cooperated with authorities. The King, therefore, wrote out a detailed set of tortures, becoming progressively more intense and maiming and painful. This writing was communicated to the Lord Lieutentant of the Tower and still exists.

Formally, the King's letter indicated that His Majesty desired that Guy Fawkes be "put to the question" because Fawkes was bound over to the civil law and the legal process could not further proceed until Fawkes had properly pleaded his crime.

Generally, Fawkes would have been asked again to detail his confession. If not inclusive of further parties to the Plot against the King's person, he would have been roughed up--usually, slapped and/or punched in the face with a gloved head. (The accused still had to appear in court.) More sturdy men could have withstood this abuse. The next step, after a brief rest period was to choke the victim with a cloth to the point passing out, release the cloth and let the victim revive. This was mostly a terror technique. The next step was to use thumbscrews on the non-writing hand of a man who could read and write. This vice-like device was placed on either side of the thumb and slowly tightened to the point of either breaking the thumb or dislocating the first joint. This torture was quite painful and caused the victim to pass out. This torture could be repeated on the other fingers, again non-writing hand first.

If this got no answer to the question, the boot could be used. A wooden vice-like device that resembled a wooden half boot that was slipped over the barefoot of the victim. As with the thumbscrews, the boot was tightened until the foot was either dislocated, broken, or the ankle severely compressed. This particular torture could only be used once since it was maiming. Remember, the victim had to appear in court after the confession, under the question, was obtained.

Less often, the English used the strappado--looks like two hoops, but the victim was doubled over into the device, with the hoops being drawn tighter. Generally, the victim was left horribly contorted in this device for a period of time as gravity and lack of movement took their toll. Most victims fainted from the pain and numbness this torture caused. It could take a victim two days to finally regain feeling and movement after being placed in the strappado. This device left no marks.

Pincers, look like tongs for removing nails from horseshoes, could be heated or used cold on the victim's bare skin; face, neck, hands, wrists, and sometimes forearms excepted--the victim had to appear in court. As one might expect, pincers, literally, a pinching device, raised a very tender, red welt and, if heated, a third degree burn. This torture was the first of the life-threatening tortures and was closely supervised so the victim was not killed.

The rack was available and this deviced had the victim lying on his back on what look liked a bedstead without the mattress and a winch at one end. Ropes were looped on the victim's wrists and ankles. The crank was turned was turned a quarter to a full crank--at first, to cause general aching in the limbs. If the victim did not comply, the limbs were pulled until the arms were dislocated from the shoulder sockets as were legs from the hip sockets. A victim of this torture could take several days to revive.

If the warden was really trying to prove his point on the victim, he might use one torture that was common to the battlefield which was the use of a heated metal rod. The victim's trousers and drawers were lowered, he was bent over a table or sawhorse, and the metal rod applied against the victim's anus. This torture was meant to humilate, disorient, cause intense discomfort, and a near immediate response to the question. This torture was considered extreme and could only be used once because it could put the victim into shock and potentially kill.

All the while, the victim was given only bread and water since it was thought that refusing sustenance was inhuman.

Very clearly, Guy Fawkes was put to the question; tortured, first by beating, then by thumbscrews. The boot was probably not employed because he jumped to his death. He was probably placed in the strappado and then racked. His signature on the confession of 9 November has a barely readable signature.

On 31 January, 1606 Guy Fawkes and a number of others implicated in the Gunpowder Plot were tried in Westminster Hall, London. After being found guilty, they were taken to Old Palace Yard in Westminster and St Paul's Yard, where they were to be hanged, drawn and quartered. Fawkes, however, cheated the hangman by jumping from the scaffold, breaking his neck before he could be drawn and quartered. So really he committed suicide and was not killed.

He was sent to the Tower of London to await his punishment of death by hanging.

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.
