Hi everybody!
On Wednesday there was a special day, the Guy Fawkes Day.
English people celebrate Guy Fawkes Day at November 5th.
But who was Guy Fawkes? Guy Fawkes, also known as Guido Fawkes, was a member of a group of provincial English Catholics. He was born in Stonegate, York on April 13th, 1570.
Guy Fawkes is famous because he wanted to bust the Palace of Westminster. He tried to kill King James, his family, all the parliament members and the bishops in the country.
He planned an aussault because King James pursued some catholic people. He wanted to restore a Catholic monarch to the throne.
One night Guy Fawkes and the plotters put barrels with a lot of gunpowder in the cellar of the government building.
But there were some friends of the plotters in the government, so they warned them with a letter. But Lord Monteagle obtained the letter.
Fawkes killed himself before his execution.
That's why the English people celebrate Guy Fawkes Day every year on the 5th of November.
Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...
