Why do we learn about Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot? In England, in 1605 during the reign of James I, an act of treason was planned that could have changed the course of our history. At the last moment, the Gunpowder Plot was foiled, and now we commemorate the traitors - and in particular, the scapegoat Guy Fawkes - every year with Bonfire Night! Who was Guy Fawkes? Guy Fawkes (1570 to 1606), also known as Guido Fawkes, was one of a group of Catholic plotters who planned, but failed, to blow up Parliament - now known as the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. What was the Gunpowder Plot? At the time, King James I was on the throne. England had broken away from the Catholic faith and the Church of Rome in Henry VIII's reign (by 1536), but there were still many Catholics in the country. Guy Fawkes joined up with a group of thirteen Catholic plotters, led by Robert Catesby, who planned to overthrow the King and put a Catholic monarch back on the throne. The plotters rented space in the cellars of the House of Lords and filled it with gunpowder. Guy Fawkes was put in charge. They planned to set off the gunpowder during the opening of Parliament, on 5th November 1605. One or more of the plotters, however, were worried that some of their fellow Catholics and friends would be at the opening and get caught in the explosion, and wrote to warn them not to be there that day. We know that a certain Lord Monteagle received a letter warning him to go to the country because Paliament would "receive a terrible blow". Lord Monteagle showed the letter to the King, and the cellars were thoroughly searched and Guy Fawkes caught. After several days of horrible torture, Guy Fawkes gave up the names of his fellow plotters and eight of them went to trial in January 1606. All were found guilty and executed in the terrible fashion of the times. On 5th November 1605 Londoners were encouraged to celebrate the King's escape from assassination by lighting bonfires, provided that "this testemonye of joy be carefull done without any danger or disorder" - and indeed an Act of Parliament soon followed, declaring 5th November as a day of thanksgiving throughout the country for "the joyful day of deliverance". Modern Celebrations When we celebrate Bonfire Night now, it seems very far removed from the events of four hundred years ago! For centuries since then, communities have come together to build a big bonfire and make an effigy - a model - of Guy Fawkes using old clothes stuffed with newspaper, to burn on the bonfire (see Penny for the Guy). Fun fact: When you use the word "guy" in your sentences, have you thought where it comes from? The "guy" tradition of Bonfire Night gradually found it's way into our language, and by the 19th century the word "guy" was used to refer to a strangely dressed man. From there it was adopted into American English to refer to any man, and is of course still commonly used today! Our Guy Fawkes Resources
What is Guy Fawkes Night? A look at the history, traditions and celebrations of November 5, following the failed events of the Gunpowder Plot.
Guy Fawkes was an unused character who would have appeared in the Haunted Mansion. In a piece of Marc Davis concept art for portraits, Guy Fawkes is shown surrounded by kegs of gunpowder. Guy Fawkes was a 16th-17th century historic figure who attempted to use kegs of gunpowder to blow up British Parliament in an effort to assassinate King James I due to the King's laws which banned the practice of non-Protestant faiths. Before being able to destroy the building, however, Fawkes was captured and

Remember, remember the fifth of November Gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason, why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot. Today, the 5th of November, is the traditional Guy Fawkes Night in Great Britain, also known as Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire Night and Firework Night. This is a tradition going back to 1605 and I fear that it is being squeezed out by the sheer, rampant commercialisation of Halloween that has been introduced more and more over the past ten years, in what I call, the Americanisation of Britain. Shops, stores and supermarkets see Halloween as a cash cow and it has subsequently become the second largest boost to their profits after Christmas. But I like the old traditions of each country. I don't want us all becoming identikits of each other. As I said Guy Fawkes Night goes back to 1605 and the Gunpowder Plot. Guy Fawkes was part of this and was arrested for guarding explosives i.e. gunpowder which plotters had placed under the House of Lords. As the plot was foiled King James I was saved from an attempt on his life. To celebrate this bonfires were lit in London. In later months an Act of Parliament was introduced to make the 5th of November a public day of thanksgiving for the plots failure. There are deeper levels to all of this as religion had a play to part between Catholics (the plotters) and Protestants (The King's men) but, hopefully, that is long forgotten. From my childhood I remember us kids building a huge bonfire - to be lit by our parents in the evening - and making a guy out of discarded clothes stuffed with paper and old rags. We would also take our guy out and about asking passers-by for 'a penny for the guy'. Any money collected would be used to buy fireworks. In the evening the guy was placed on the bonfire and burnt while the fireworks were let off. It was an important, memorable occasion each year. Now, what with Halloween and Health and Safety Regulations gone mad, the tradition of over 400 years is gradually becoming less and less significant. History seems no longer to play a part in modern life but I shall light a few fireworks regardless.
