Why Did Guy Fawkes Commit Treason? | The Gunpowder Plot | The REAL Guy Fawkes

On the 5th November, all across Britain (and some places abroad too!), bonfires are lit to remember the treasonous gunpowder plot of 1605. A group of Catholics planned to blow up their king and parliament in an attempt to regain their faith in Britain, and change the course of history. Guy Fawkes was just one of a larger group of plotters, but as the person caught first for the crime, he became the face of the plot, and a hated figure for centuries to come.
