Who was Guy Fawkes?<\/b><\/p>\n

Guy Fawkes was part of a group that planned the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. The plot was designed to blow up the House of Lords ultimately assassinating King James I. Fortunately for King James I, the plot was discovered just prior to setting off the explosive gunpowder. Guy Fawkes was the person who was in place to guard the stockpiled gunpowder. Fortunately for King James I, the plot was discovered just prior to setting off the explosives and Guy Fawkes was captured. Today the event is observed throughout Britain with the burning of a Guy Fawkes\u2019 effigy and fireworks.<\/p>\n
