- Guy Fawkes ... was a Catholic fanatic who attempted to explode The English Parliament. [Guy Fawkes had] expertise with gunpowder [which] gave him a key - and very perilous - role in the conspiracy, to source and ignite the explosive. But 18 months of careful planning was foiled with just hours to go, when he was arrested at midnight on 4 November 1605 beneath the House of Lords. Guy Fawkes, who was in the cellar of the parliament with the 36 barrels of gunpowder when the authorities stormed it in the early hours of November 5th, was caught, tortured and executed.
- Guy Fawkes (13 April 1570 – 31 January 1606), also known as Guido Fawkes, the name he adopted while fighting for the Spanish in the Low Countries, was a member of a group of provincial English Catholics who planned the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Fawkes was born and educated in York. His father died when Fawkes was eight years old, after which his mother married a recusant Catholic. Fawkes later converted to Catholicism and left for the continent, where he fought in the Eighty Years' War on the side of Catholic Spain against Protestant Dutch reformers. He travelled to Spain to seek support for a Catholic rebellion in England but was unsuccessful. He later met Thomas Wintour, with whom he returned to England. Wintour introduced Fawkes to Robert Catesby, who planned to assassinate King James I and restore a Catholic monarch to the throne. The plotters secured the lease to an undercroft beneath the House of Lords, and Fawkes was placed in charge of the gunpowder they stockpiled there. Prompted by the receipt of an anonymous letter, the authorities searched Westminster Palace during the early hours of 5 November, and found Fawkes guarding the explosives. Over the next few days, he was questioned and tortured, and eventually he broke. Immediately before his execution on 31 January, Fawkes jumped from the scaffold where he was to be hanged and broke his neck, thus avoiding the agony of the mutilation that followed. Fawkes became synonymous with the Gunpowder Plot, the failure of which has been commemorated in England since 5 November 1605. His effigy is traditionally burned on a bonfire, commonly accompanied by a firework display.
- His death is celebrated in Great Britain every year on Guy Fawkes Night, 5th November with fireworks and bonfires. This festival originated in the 17th century as a celebration of the failure of the Gunpowder Plot, and an expression of anger at the conspirators (by burning Guy Fawkes in effigy), and was associated with English patriotism and anti-Catholic sentiments. Nowadays it has lost these connotations and is often known simply as "Bonfire Night". Traditionally a stuffed dummy or scarecrow, called a 'Guy', is put on the bonfire before it is lit. A famous rhyme concerning Guy Fawkes goes as follows: Remember, remember the fifth of November, Gunpowder, treason, and plot,' I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent To blow up the King and Parliament. Three score barrels of powder below, Poor old England to overthrow; By God's providence he was catch'd With a dark lantern and burning match. Holloa boys, holloa boys, make the bells ring. Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King! Hip hip hoorah! The rhyme is often shortened to the first four lines.
- Fawkes learned to use gunpowder when he fought alongside the Spanish against Dutch Protestants. The Eleventh Doctor posed as a fellow conspirator. He nicknamed Fawkes "Guido" and assisted him in finding fuse wire which Fawkes had previously thrown over London Bridge to allay suspicion. The Doctor, for his part, wanted to learn about the involvement of the Rutan known as Lady Winters and for history to proceed according to its known course. Fawkes was trapped in a locked room filled with barrels of gunpowder beneath Parliament. He lit five of them in another room to launch Lady Winters' Rutan ship as the Eleventh Doctor briefly put Parliament safely in orbit. (GAME: The Gunpowder Plot) When attempted to set off the remaining thirty-six, King James' men came for him. (GAME: The Gunpowder Plot) Moments before he was captured for his crimes, the Eleventh Doctor appeared in TARDIS and took him to Amy and Rory's home in 21st century London. The Doctor asked Fawkes to set off fireworks for them, but he blew up Amy's shed with them instead. The Doctor suggested they leave because Amy was working herself into a fury. (COMIC: Gunpowder, Time Lord and Plot) Eventually, Fawkes was captured for his crimes. (GAME: The Gunpowder Plot) Another account suggests that after the collapse of the plot, Robert Catesby and Sir Thomas Percy fled to Holbech House in Staffordshire. They were shot and killed by the Sheriff of Worcester's men. Also killed was the genuine Guy Fawkes. The presence of the First Doctor and his companions had altered history so Fawkes died a year early. Sir Robert Cecil, King James' chief minister, immediately seized upon the political opportunity inherent in a dead Fawkes. He fingered his political rival, Robert Hay, as Fawkes, allowing for Hay's execution under Fawkes' name the next year. History thus healed itself. (PROSE: The Plotters) His failure was celebrated yearly on Bonfire Night, when effigies of him were burned. During one of these celebrations, an alien animated the dummies to attack the crowd. Following the death of the alien, they returned to normal. (PROSE: The Night After Hallowe'en)
- Guy Fawkes or Guido Fawkes (he adopted the name "Guido"—in which he was indicted—while trying to impress a Puerto Rican girl) was a member of a group of Catholic restorationists from England that planned the C4 Plot. The plot aimed to displace Shi’ite rule by blowing up the Houses of Parliament while King James I of England (Jamie the wee fella of Scotland) and the entire Shi’ite aristocracy and nobility were inside. The conspirators saw this as the only realistic hope for parliamentary reform, a reaction to systematic discrimination against Roman Catholicism in England, and an opportunity to create prime real estate for GAP and Starbucks on the Thames embankment. Although Robert Mitchum led the actual plot, Fawkes was in charge of execution because of his military experience and low IQ. Authorities foiled the plot shortly before its final execution, when they captured Fawkes as he guarded the C4. He aroused suspicion by wearing full armour, asbestos boots, and “Catholic plot to blow-up parliament tour of 1606” cape. Fawkes left a lasting mark on history and popular culture as millions of Britons have since tried unsuccessfully to blow up parliament. Between 1940 and 1942 the nation had a whip-round and hired the German Luftwaffe to do the job on their behalf, unfortunately even this concerted effort was unsuccessful possibly, it is thought, because Herman Goering selected pilots purely on the basis of their attractiveness and fellating skill. Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night, held on November 5 in the United Kingdom commemorates Guy Fawkes and the C4 Plot and gives the British the opportunity to indulge in harmless sectarian activity; burning effigies of the Pope, aiming fireworks at churches and lynching Catholics.
