@Guy Fawkes - 5th Nov - a little bit of information Hes world famous thanks to his distinctive moustached face which has been adopted as a mask by anti capitalists but Guy Fawkes is best known for failing to blow up Westminster Palace. On November 5, 1605, Guy was foiled as he plotted to destroy the Houses of Parliament during state opening and kill all inside it including the King in what became known as the Gunpowder Plot. But aside from that what do we know about the conspirator who was just 35 when he died. He was born on April 13th 1570 in Stonegate in York, and was educated at St. Peters School in York, preferring to be called Guido Fawkes.
