Guy Fawkes was born in York, England in the 1570s and was called Guido Fawkes at birth but later went by Guy Fawkes. In 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament but was unsuccessful and was hanged for treason on January 31, 1606. Since then, the failed gunpowder plot has been commemorated annually on November 5th in the UK and other countries with bonfires, fireworks, and burning effigies of Guy Fawkes.

2. The history behind Guy Fawkes
I’ll tell you all a story, once in the 1570s there was a baby
born in York. The babies mother decided to name him
Guido Fawkes.
When Guido Fawkes was growing up people just called him
Guy Fawkes because that would just be much easier.
They lived on a street named Stonegate in York , and he
lived there happily. But one day, on the 5th of November,
he decided to blow up the Houses of Parliament. He did
not succeed.
He was hung on 31st of January 1606. So from this day we
have celebrated the 5th of November because of the failed
attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament.
