The Gunpowder Plot: The 5 Conspirators

[@ryannorris1]

I'm from Canada and I was staying with relatives near London during November 5, and we set off fireworks for the kids and then I went to a huge field where thousands of people watched all the fireworks. It's amazing seeing fireworks wherever I went, especially when I thought I wouldn't see fireworks until New Year's.

[@spaceman1979]

Guy Fawkes. The only man ever to enter paliament with honest intentions.

[@andycam1]

the only man to enter parlement with honest intensions

[@footlappen]

Whats that house there in the background at the end? is it Osterly Park? Nice vid BTW

[@VonDenHottentotten]

Where can you get clothes like the guy in the front (Robert Catesby?) in the last scene is wearing? It looks so awesome!

[@VonDenHottentotten]

The hat and gloves that the guy in 2:52 for example is wearing look so cool!

[@KillYourTeeVee]

it took a few hundred years but the gunpowder has finally caught fire

[@KostasWasHere]

Remember, remember the 5th of November, the gunpowder,trizon and plot. I see no reason the gunpowder and trizon to ever be forgot...

[@jodbo]

Wow...interesting stuff. I didn't know a whole lot about this until now.

[@madbob73]

Totally agree and that already happened. In the mid 1600's Cromwell kicked out the monarchy and made himself 'supreme ruler'

[@scholion]

The only man ever to enter Parliament with honest intentions.

[@adders45]

Guy Fawkes was the only man to enter parliment with good intentions!

[@swissnor]

Robert Keyes was born Protestant and his father was a C of E Minister, his mother was related to the staunchly Catholic Babthorpes of Osgodby and Keyes later converted to Roman Catholicism. Sir Everard Digby was raised in a Protestant household, and married a Protestant, where later converted to Roman Catholicism by a Jesuit priest.

[@FoxM]

Needs to be made into a movie.

[@RogCBrand]

Yes, you have to wonder why he was alone, though maybe they felt that one person was likely to go unnoticed. It might have been the best way to go and they were just supremely unlucky that the guards happened to check at that time. History tends to be full of very important events being massively effected by small, random events!

[@astrolils5]

who directed this? what is the name of the full documentary

[@pchenester]

actually...them soldiers found guy Fawkes sitting on the gun ammunition..not standing around . thats what i heard, correct me if im wrong!

[@reynardfox]

Anyone Know the music theat starts at2.29.Maybe Corelli or Vivaldi?

[@retr0naut823]

I wan't to know this too. Anyone?

[@GavinandKyle]

remember remember the 5th of November, for there is no reason the gunpowder treason shall ever be forgot-V(future guy fawkes)

[@araino262]

Isnt this the background of the movie "V for Vendetta"??

[@MercurialRed9]

"People shouldn't be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of the people".

[@mikejg2550]

No the British royals are Anglican - Church of England - the queen is the head of the church as well as the head of state. Started by Henry 8th after he was told by Rome he could not divorce his 1st wife. In 1605 the king was James 1st, a Protestant.

[@smidge146]

that song isnt just from v for vendetta you know but still bloody great movie! :)

[@oggendoggen2]

"...Then the curtains peel and the sets give way And the cast gets eaten by the play There's a murderer at the matinee There are dead men in the aisles And the members of the cast and crew With sidelong looks await their cue But the frozen mask just smiles..."

[@TherealMrChristophel]

@spaceman1979 what about the man who delivers the coffee?

[@Lymmar]

Yeah. Dont say "ouch" when you're in stealth mode.

[@VonDenHottentotten]

I still wonder where one can get a costume like the actor playing Robert Catesby is wearing in this video. Looks really cool. Does anyone here have an idea where to get clothes like that?

[@KUbballer049]

Remember remember the fifth of November Gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder, treason Should ever be forgot...

[@crashreboot]

It's actually Guido Fawkes. It's just Guy for short.

[@redkiba]

yes, I have to say, I completely agree.

[@AlexJonAir]

why is guy fawkes a hero if he wanted to blow the king thingy, i dont know anythin about guy fawkes, and what does anonymous have to do with guy fawkes etc? can someone tell me?

[@reynardfox]

@reynardfox Maybe Corelli or Vivaldi?

[@vandpubsell]

@EuromanMovieReport Essentially yes. Catesby and his crew were effectively the Al Qaida of their time. They were very much on the extreme of Catholic opinion though. Most English Catholics thought they were insane.

[@mAwesome334]

i got addicted to V For Vendetta and now i can understand that the movie is a homage to the plot. V wanted vengeance from the government because of the things they have done (if u watched it) and Fawkes was also like that.............. PLUS they both wanted to blow Parliament......

[@manutdabc123]

@10lettername in my opinion we celebrate it because he was caught and that it never should be forgotten what happened to him after wards...maybe it was put into place as a warning to any1 else who plans something similar that they would meet the same fate

[@gloomunster]

What you say is true.Organizations do have dark times.We can evaluate when the problem is settled, BUT. We can only respond based on the current situation, so we may as well call it good or bad at that moment in time.WWI was bad at that time.But now it has changed the political scenario for the better as no country now has the right to colonise another.

[@Shroomalator]

3:08-3:22 Kept imaging the song "damn it feels good to be a gangsta" playing.

[@madbob73]

' did you ever read about what horrors the crown inflicted upon the Catholic population?' And have you ever read about the atrocities inflicted in the name of the Catholic church at this time? It was a dark time for all

[@cdfe3388]

And many British Army casualties in the first war were Irish conscripts from what is now the Republic of Ireland, which was one of their rallying cries when they finally won their independence. In some ways it could be compared to the plight of Ukranians in the Red Army. So that argument can go either way.

[@keirebu]

sometimes these things happen for a reason, good or bad. also you wouldnt be sitting here saying that right now if it wasnt for him. events change the world so dramatically

[@duhglass]

that was my point.. that the government is the target. but the whole society is effected.

[@GolfBallHeads]

im here 5th of nov 2011 - whos with me

[@Hej413]

It is to Madame Justice that I dedicate this video, in honour of the holyday she seems to have taken from these parts and in recognition of the imposter that stands in her stead!

[@silverbiscuit]

I've been 'off my island' many times, and I'm not sure why you think I haven't. You were talking about Britain, so I replied about Britain. I am not a Christian, as you seem to be implying. I have literally no idea where you got that impression. I was only talking about the role of the British monarch in relation to the Church of England, which is what you were asking about, and what you still seem pretty confused about. I really don't know what your problem is.

[@AlexJonAir]

I have buddy, this was the first video i saw of Guy Fawkes, i just wanted to write a question like 12 seconds after the video, and its actually more than a month i posted that, and yes, i checked wikipedia, buddy..

[@Phantomsbreath]

I'll be muttering that tomorrow

[@Tallacus]

so this is where V got his idolization of this guy who rebels against the government "people should not be afraid of their government, government should be afraid of its people"

[@redgringrumboldt8983]

@Tygurad Phew, lucky I didn't get an ad! LOL, just kidding! Try to reload the page several times.

[@SAYLEMAN]

The last man to enter Parliament with good intentions ??

[@swissnor]

Thomas Percy was a crypto-Catholic before he was formally received into the Roman Catholic church and Guy Fawkes was born Protestant but later converted to Roman Catholicisim with the help of his Roman Catholic step father. And King James was on 17 December 1566 in a Catholic ceremony held at Stirling Castle but brought up as a Protestant so history is not as clear cut as one thinks.

[@pyroboy1]

Remember remember the fifth of November the gunpowder treason and plot I know of no reason The gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot - V for Vendetta

[@m3eku5]

lol its my birthday today. hells ya!

[@badmongo0]

What a noble man

[@coolgadgetreviews]

He was not a terrorist because the word terrorist was not invented then!!!

[@Starstreak170]

Dammit he was soclose to killing the most hated family in the world. Millions could have been saved from the tyranny of British Empire.

[@cdfe3388]

I already said I don't support the IRA. I only said that my opinion favors the cause of Irish unification, and that if Ireland under British rule was always so wonderful for everybody then my family probably wouldn't have left. But aren't we all (regardless of nationality) guilty of hypocrisy in one form or other. In that regard, this argument is probably good for keeping all of us honest.

[@Rosiercentral]

Here, here.

[@kzbxvz]

Guy Fawkes was senteced to be hanged drawn & quartered as a traitor, but he was clever enough to cheat the executioner and hanged himself before the gruesome part began.

[@gloomunster]

If evil men lead an instituition, you may as well call it evil because you are going to get the same result.(ie. mass slaughter)We should value whether it is evil or not based on what it is in the present day.

[@RedPillRedList]

I thought the same thing but the evidence is overwhelming.Do some research,see what you think and let me know.

[@chinchill3r]

remember,remember the fifth of november.

[@Morevalor]

@davidhaythornthwaite But we probabely wouldn't have the film "V for Vandetta" either and thats priorety!

[@ДингирДмитриевич]

If Gunpowder Plot succeded in 5 November 1605.Guy Fawkes killed 80 Lords of England.

[@JCLeSinge]

@corizon420: You mean "Conspiracy, Treason, and Plot", surely?

[@GraveyardRomance]

Remember Remember the 5th of November, The Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever forgot. Happy 5th

[@ThomasWilliams89]

Catesby looks so fucking cool. I would wear that :)

[@Nekro9000]

@qwikfeet Nope im fairly sure what your saying is right at least i've heard that as well although i thought the usa was the main party involved in giving them guns and Britain just joined in

[@cfcyusuf11]

@Anthony Wilson if he was a muslim would u call him a terrorist?

[@Hotshotter3000]

If this plot had succeeded, it would have been the mother of all terrorist plots and probably more influential on the world at that time than even 9/11.

[@Revolvable]

Have you ever seen "V for Vendetta" it's a very good movie.

[@Untadaike]

BBC's reenacting is fucking hilarious.

[@KakaoDj]

@GolfBallHeads remember remember...

[@tapeboi321]

Guy Fawks was a badass

[@lurconis666]

It is unfortunate that he hasn't succeeded. A patriot and freedom fighter to some, a terrorist and a traitor to others. In every war, the truth is the first victim.

[@AmunRa1]

CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT, GUY FAWKES.

[@RockyBalboa211]

I wanted Guy Fawkes to succeed...

[@crozecamp]

@Nekro9000 Oh sorry, bro.. Didn't see there :D But doesn't make sense right?

[@Amhlair]

And of course the Cecils, father and son, were those who stole from the world the true Shake-spear.

[@ddbomber11]

Remember... Remember the 5th of November... The gunpowder plot and treason... I know no reason Why the gunpowder plot and treason should ever be... Forgot... - V

[@Whyzempt]

Hurray for Guy Fawkes!!!

[@cdfe3388]

It's hard to find a government, organization, group, etc that wasn't run by assholes at some point in its history. My point is that that even the most charitable and benevolent group can be misguided to do horrible things. It's human nature. Judgement should be made based on the entire story, not just specific parts that best coincide with a preconcieved notion (then you have nothing but propaganda).

[@blueskies]

oh yeah.. well that's not half as funny! Wright may have been the best swordsman but White's better with an axe! x

[@shilltheshillXXX]

@DerrenBrown100 And don't forget The Weather Underground.

[@silverbiscuit]

Are you off your face? You think if James I was killed then Britain would have said, "Oh, well, never mind about the monarchy then." Eventually James I did die, and you know what? The monarchy didn't end. Charles I became king. And he was beheaded and still the monarchy did not end (well, apart from a short interlude). Besides, the Empire was built because of trade, not by monarchs.

[@silverbiscuit]

No, the queen is not like a pope. The monarch being the 'head of the church' doesn't mean they make proclamations on religious matters. It's just supposed to mean that they protect the Church of England and are 'responsible' for the religious feelings of their citizens. Today, at least, it doesn't imply any actual responsibility or real control over the Church. And of course it's a Christian church, where did you get that idea?

[@KUbballer049]

videos like this make me proud to be related to guy fawkes always remember the 5th of november

[@dudeabc1231]

WE NEED TO BLOW THE PARLEMENT UP

[@guyfox1445]

Yes, and get the real King back where he belongs.

[@miciso666]

they dont say anything bout the betrayal letter to the lord

[@manutdabc123]

@10lettername i personally dont think we celebrate it for any reason any more maybe we just use it as an excuse for a good time and to burn any unwanted shit we have in our homes...but yes the reasoning i gave is probably why we first celebrated it at the time...the people who celebrate his attempt are those who obviously hate the government

[@unit4480]

Good

[@neviusprime]

You should read V for Vendetta. Don't see the movie. The movie sucks. But the comic deals with that very issue. Is terrorism acceptable in overthrowing a corrupt government? (not saying England was or is corrupt...just as a hypothetical)

[@Kelly14UK]

Who nearly blew up JR?

[@jackdexx]

2:29 LIKE A BOSS

[@jackdexx]

2:27-3:34 GANGSTA CREW!

[@snipedudes]

Remeber Remeber the 5th of November wait no 4th of November

[@superalexo]

lol at 2:30 it looks like a western film

[@NuclearPlanet]

oh in just realized the similarities

[@LtBriJMAC]

Why so Cereal?

[@elpanchito421]

well, why watch a video about the very thing you despise?

[@Joeyg143]

2:21 RESERVOIR DOGS.
