Guy Fawkes did not burn down Parliament; rather, he was part of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605, which aimed to blow up the House of Lords and assassinate King James I to end Protestant rule in England. The plotters sought to replace the king with a Catholic monarch. Fawkes was tasked with guarding the explosives placed in the cellar of Parliament but was arrested before the plan could be executed. The failed plot led to Fawkes becoming a symbol of dissent against government oppression.

Was it true that guyfawkes was the only man to ever enter the parliament with honest intentions in the gunpowder plot?

No it is not true because Guyfawkes kept on setting plots up to kill the king when he was in the building and was planning to kill the people that were in the building aswell so that there was no proof that Guyfawkes had killed the king. This was all of Guyfawkes conspiracy. But he had failed, the government had found out that Guyfawkes was doing all this and managed to stop so then neither did that king die and nor the other people that were in the building at the time.
