Guy Fawkes Night – The Gunpowder Pliot

November 5th is coming up, Guy Fawkes Night. The day when people all over Britain light bonfires, and let off fireworks in commemoration of the only man to enter parliament with honourable intentions.

This year marks the 400th anniversary of the plot, and the true story is no less fascinating despite the passage of time. If you would like to know more about the plot, the conspirators, their motivations, and the consequences of their actions, the following links should answer all your questions:

PS: 5th November is my birthday, and I spent part of my childhood in the Clopton area of Stratford on Avon, which was home to one of the conspirators.
