James I and the Gunpowder Plot

A. The effigy is known to such children as “Guy Fox”, though the real name of the man who it represents was Guido Fawkes. Although he was born in York, he had served in the Spanish army, and used the Spanish form of his name in his signature. Who was he, this man who is still burnt every year, hundreds of years after he lived? This is his story, the story of Guido Fawkes and King James I.

B. When the Great Queen Elizabeth died in 1603, she was unmarried. So the Scottish King James VI became King James I of England. He was not a pleasant man. Not only was he of ungainly appearance, he was also untrustworthy and deceitful. James I who believed in absolute monarchy insisted that the Members of Parliament were there simply to do as he told them. In addition to his frequent quarrels with Parliament, James I earned the hatred of many of his subjects by his treatment of people with religious views differing from his own. From this hatred came the famous Gunpowder Plot less than two years after his coronation.

C. Thus died a man whose name has quite wrongly and mistakenly come to mean anyone of queer or foolish appearance. Only Guido Fawkes was neither. He was a brave man and a gentleman, a faithful friend to the limit of endurance, ready to die for the faith. We can be sure that never again were the cellars under the House of Lords let during the reign of James I. Nor have they ever been let since. Even to this day a careful search is made of them before the opening of Parliament.

D. He was what is called a soldier of fortune. That is a man who is prepared to fight for any country which will pay him. Guy Fawkes was a gentleman of good family, brave and religious, who was ready to risk everything for a cause in which he believed. The conspirators had rented a house next door to the Houses of Parliament and under the House of Lords and proposed that they should dig a tunnel. There they would pile barrels of gunpowder, and when the King and all the Members of Parliament were assembled on the fifth of November, there would be an

explosion which would leave nothing but a smoking ruin. That would be the awful result of the explosion.

E. Everyone in England knows that the fifth of November is Bonfire Night. For days, often weeks before the date, children may be seen carrying through the streets the stuffed effigy of a man and singing a verse which begins: Remember, remember, the fifth of November, Gunpowder, treason and plot. Very often the effigy is dressed in old clothes of the present day, but occasionally some attempt has been made to imitate the costume of an earlier age. In either case the clothes are old, because the effigy is due to be burnt over a bonfire.

F. On November the fourth, the day before that arranged for the opening of Parliament, Guy Fawkes was found in the cellar as well as the thirty or more barrels of gunpowder. The plot had failed. Guy Fawkes was barbarously tortured to make him give the names of the other conspirators, which he refused to do. He was dragged out on a sledge to the place of execution and hanged.

G. This was a plot to blow up Parliament whilst1 King James was opening a new session. It was a most wicked undertaking, because

although it would have put an end to King James, many innocent people would have been killed at the same time. This does not appear to have worried the original conspirators who did not care how many people suffered, so long as they got rid of King James. Amongst1 this group of gentlemen who were determined to rid the country of the King was Guido, or Guy Fawkes.

H. Guy Fawkes was used to explosions and to the idea of hundreds of men being killed in battle. It was to be his task to set fire to the fuse, and then to escape as best he could. A man of iron nerve, he had no doubts about his part in the conspiracy. But some of the conspirators began to have serious doubts about what they were doing. Several of them had friends or relations who would be in the House on the opening day and they naturally wished to warn them to stay away. A letter was sent to warn some of the Members of Parliament.
