169. Guy Fawkes 1605 Bonfire Night

"Remember, remember, the 5th of November; Gunpowder, treason and plot; I see no reason why gunpowder, treason; should ever be forgot." Every year, people across the United Kingdom light fireworks and bonfires to commemorate the events of November 5th, 1605. Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night celebrates the capture of Fawkes (1570-1606), who was apprehended under the British Houses of Parliament with 36 barrels of gunpowder, fuses and matches, planning to blow up King James I and his entire Parliament, which would have severely altered the course of British North America.
