Guy Fawkes (13 April 1570 – 31 January 1606) was a member of a group of English Roman Catholics who attempted to carry out the Gunpowder Plot, an attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill King James I of England, to destroy Protestant rule by killing the Protestant aristocracy, on 5 November 1605.
“Remember Remember the fifth of November
The gunpowder treason and plot
I see no why gunpoweder treason
should be ever forgot
Guy Fawkes, ‘twas his intent
To blow up the King and Parliament
Three score barrels were laid below
to prove old England’s overthrow
With a dark lantern and lighted match.
Holler boys, holler boys, let the bell ring
holler boys, holler boys, God save the King”
