Guy Fawkes may just be the baddest English Catholic around. His story has been re-told throughout history as the 'guy' who was caught red-handed and ready to plow up Parliament in the year 1605. While there were at least 13 conspirators involved in the "Gunpowder Plot", Guy is one of the most memorable and seen as the main instigator behind the failed assassination. And well deserved, shall we say, as he took the real heat on the rack before giving up some names. To this day, Brits across England celebrate Guy Fawkes day. But did you ever wonder what it was really about? Remember, remember the 5th of November by listening to this latest episode of 'Beheaded'.
