	The Traditions Of Guy Fawkes Night
		Guy Fawkes Night is celebrated in Britain annually on November 5th.
		A modern theory regarding the involvement of Guy Fawkes in the Gunpower Plot is that he was not trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament at all, but merely attempting to assassinate King James who, it was believed, had reneged on his promise to put a stop to the persecution of Catholics.
		Guy Fawkes Night is not solely a British celebration.

	it's TRADITIONAL - Guy Fawkes' Night (a.k.a Bonfire Night) : November 5th (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		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.

		Way back in 1605 Guy and a band of conspirators got a bit cheesed off with the King, James I, over a religious argument and decided that the best way to resolve the whole issue would be to bypass the usual cuppa and a chat and go straight to blowing up the Houses of Parliament.
