Guy Fawkes (13 April 1570 – 31 January 1606) sometimes known as Guido Fawkes, was a member of a group of Roman Catholic revolutionaries from England who planned to carry out the Gunpowder Plot.

Guy Fawkes's fame is celebrated in the UK on November 5, every year, during the Guy Fawkes Night festival. This is when people build large bonfires, light fireworks, and burn figures of Fawkes (known as 'the guy').

When James I came to the throne he relaxed the anti catholic laws, but later he brought them back again. To a fanatical young catholic called Robert Catesby, the only solution seemed to be violence. In 1604 he decided that the king and the whole protestant government needed to be eliminated. He discussed his plans with five other conspirators, including Guido Fawkes. They began tunnelling from the house next to the Parliament into the Parliament buildings. The conspirators transferred 36 barrels of gunpowder into the cellar. The conspirators waited for the opening of the parliament. But one of them realized that the explosion might kill some ex catholic lords, too. So an anonymous letter was sent to one of these lords to warn them of the plot. Guy Fawkes was found and arrested, and later the rest of the conspirators too. They were hung and quartered and their bodies were thrown onto bonfires. November 5 was then officilly celebrated as a day of thanksgiving for 250 years. Today people build enormous bonfires and burn figures of Guy Fawkes.
