Remember, remember the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason and plot…
This was the date on which Guy Fawkes, a Catholic renegade, dramatically failed to blow up London’s House of Lords. This cultural memory has been faithfully preserved for over 400 years. Led by charismatic religious fanatic Robert Catesby, with the help of radicalised ex-soldier Guido (or Guy) Fawkes, the terrorists hatched a plan to blow up King James I along with the Prince of Wales and the Houses of Parliament.
