Breaking News about Guy Fawkes:

Guy Fawkes (13 April 1570 – 31 January 1606), sometimes known as Guido Fawkes, the name in which he was indicted, was a member of a group of Roman Catholic restorationists from England that planned the Gunpowder Plot. The plot's aim was to displace Protestant rule by blowing up the Houses of Parliament while king James I and the entire Protestant aristocracy were inside. The conspirators saw this as a reaction to systematic discrimination against English Roman Catholics.
