	Guy Fawkes
		Edward Fawkes, who was descended from the Fawkes family of Farnley, was a notary or proctor of the ecclesiastical courts and advocate of the consistory court of the Archbishop of York.
		It is possible that Fawkes married, for the International Genealogy Index (IGI) compiled by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints records a marriage between Guy Fawkes and Maria Pulleyn in 1590 in Scotton, and it also records the birth of a son Thomas to Guy Fawkes and Maria on 6 February 1591.
		Fawkes severed his connection with the Archduke's forces on 16 February 1603, when he was granted leave to go to Spain on behalf of Stanley, Owen and Baldwin to "enlighten King Philip II concerning the true position of the Romanists in England".

	it's TRADITIONAL - Guy Fawkes' Night (a.k.a Bonfire Night) : November 5th
		Guy Fawkes was born in York in 1570, to a Protestant family although his widowed mother married a Catholic and young Guy was educated with Catholic schoolmates.
		Guy Fawkes was drawn into the Plot, masterminded by the fanatical Robert Catesby, in 1604 after meeting up with his old schoolfriends, and together they hatched a plan, not simply to depose King James but to kill him AND his Parliament when they met at the Palace of Westminster.
		Once they knew that Guy Fawkes had been arrested, the rest of the plotters realised that it was only a matter of time before their names were known and so they fled to Staffordshire in the English Midlands, arriving early on the 7th and taking refuge in Holbeche House.
