That is is not the point he blew himself up in the process so he was not stopped by us.
Answer:
He did not blow himself up. He was hung, drawn and quartered, which can be a wee bit painful.
No he didn't, your information is wrong.
no he didn't.
anyway he was probably just a scape goat.
Guy Fawkes didn't blow himself up. After the set up involving his arrest by the king, he was tortured, hanged, emasculated, drawn and quartered.
my dad used to say he was the only decent man ever in Parliament, then they hung him, ( yes and he was drawn and quartered )
he never blew himself up .he never got it right either
Martin S is 100% correct.
The last decent man, and the only one with honourable intentions.
He was caught then HDQ'd. But who grassed him up?
he was captured and killed. how could he blow himself up when the gunpowder plot was stopped before it could start? perhaps u should google guy fawkes to find out any more details
Hello Poppy-baby G.F was H.D.Q.! The only man to ever
enter parliament, with genuine intentions!
He didn't blow himself up. Nothing was blown up. If the explosives went off then Britain would probably be a republic. Guy Fawkes was captured BEFORE the explosion happened. The fact that he was captured and the king was saved is what is celebrated.
Moron Guy Fawkes? Another piece of terrorist trash who FAILED.
No. He was tortured (by order of the King) and was very ill when the day came for the conspirators to be put to death. On Friday, 31 January 1606, Fawkes, Thomas Wintour, Ambrose Rookwood and Robert Keyes were taken to the Old Palace Yard at Westminster and hanged, drawn and quartered "in the very place which they had planned to demolish in order to hammer home the message of their wickedness". Thomas Wintour was followed by Rookwood and then by Keyes. Guido, the "romantic caped figure of such evil villainy" came last. A contemporary wrote:
"Last of all came the great devil of all, Guy Fawkes, alias Johnson, who should have put fire to the powder. His body being weak with the torture and sickness he was scarce able to go up the ladder, yet with much ado, by the help of the hangman, went high enough to break his neck by the fall. He made no speech, but with his crosses and idle ceremonies made his end upon the gallows and the block, to the great joy of all the beholders that the land was ended of so wicked a villainy".
Thank you for your email, but you're still not getting it are you?
The Catesby Conspiracy. known more popularly as the gunpowder plot was led by Robert Catesby with the express intention of blowing up the Houses of Parliament when King James 1 arrived for the state opening of Parliament.
The intention was to get rid of the protestant king and eventually place a catholic Monarch back on the throne. The plot was thwarted and Guy Fawkes was caught red-handed in the cellars of Parliament by Robert Cecil.
To re-iterate my answer to your earlier question no one celebrates Guy Fawkes, he is an effigy and burning that effigy is a symbol of the carnage that was avoided. We would have lost our King and every leading Parliamentarian of the day had the plot succeeded.
It is also a present day reminder of our need for vigilance against those who would destroy everything we value and hold dear.
I hope everything is a little clearer to you now and I'm sorry if I sound as if I am lecturing, but you do seem to have a difficult time grasping the basic facts.
he didnt blow himself up!!
