Guy Fawkes  was a  Catholic , but  James I  was a  protestant . Guy Fawkes wanted England to be Catholic, so  he wanted to kill the King .
He tried to  blow up  the  houses of parliament  and the government using 36 barrels of gunpowder!
The guards discovered Guy Fawkes , his friends and the gunpowder. He was put in  prison . He and his friends were  killed  and their heads were put on sticks.
 
Every  5th November , English people have a big party to remember what Guy Fawkes did. They build  huge bonfires , and they make a model of Guy Fawkes, then they burn it on top of a bonfire.
They watch lots of fireworks representing the gunpowder They also use sparklers
