The Twisted Story of the Real Guy Fawkes

[@johnparrish9215]

I was in Scotland back in the 1980s and asked a Scot why they observed Guy Fawkes night. He said; The Brits celebrate it because they caught the guy before he blew up the government. We celebrate it because someone tried.

[@AlanaBananaCanada]

And that's why I'm proud to be Scottish

[@kelf114]

Amen!

[@laurids2007]

Exactly. I love Guy Fawkes. I wish he had succeeded. UK caused lots of harm and evil to my country, Brazil, throughout the centuries. This Parliament is The Cabal of All Evils along with Germany and France. One day, I know, they will answer before God and many of them have already been punished accordingly. God's Justice will always prevail.

[@hex7373]

Well as a Brit who has celebrated it for a good 45 yrs I can tell you, we celebrate it still, because he stood up and fought back against king and government, even if it was originally intended to be celebrated because he was caught.

@Mike Seork I'm not sure why you thought it necessary to bring politics into this, but I think you'll find that it's mainly the right that have determined which part of history we do and don't teach.

In New Mexico, in early September, we have a similar burning, only I don't think Zozobra represents a specific person so much as an ideal. He is called Old Man Gloom, and he burns away the negative influences before we get shut in for the winter (though New Mexico winters are very mild so we rarely get shut in for more than a few hours). It's a cathartic thing so having a figure representing a common enemy is a good idea. Give us an outlet and a target for our aggression and you can prevent some group acting out.

I watched, "V For Vendetta," for the second time last night, prompted by a respected co-worker who told me he and his sister watched the film together on the 5th of November for several years in succession. I watched the movie for the first time last year while recovering from an injury. I felt I hadn't given it my full attention - nodding at points because I'd had a long day. I wondered when I'd see it again. Thank you for this video on Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot. I've known of him and the failed attempt for decades - that he was considered a fool - and his failure was celebrated in Britain around Halloween. I had not made the connection that he had threatened the rule of King James I, the king associated with the publishing of the 1611 translation of the Bible in England. Well, I forgot that fact. Fawkes is a fascinating character. I do not condone violence or terrorist activity - yet I can see how persecuted believers passionate about their faith might consider ways to end the oppression they suffered. And in today's World, I can see individuals fearing the continued erosion of their "rights" - and fearing the prophesied One World Government - would seek ways to avert the tyranny that is to come.

I think the worst punishment that has been done to Mr Fawkes (an honest Catholic from Yorkshire) is that he is remembered more than four centuries after his death by a name that was not his own. The man captured and executed by the british authorities was actually named Guido Fawkes. We have a saying in here in my home county (the biggest in England by some measure)... "Yorkshire born & Yorkshire bred, strong in the arm & thick in the 'ead" 😁Guido Fawkes sealed his fate when James the first & sixth asked him "What were you thinking man?" and he answered "I was thinking to blow you and your nobles back to Scotland!" Under English law at the time it was illegal to torture an innocent man, and as a person was considered innocent until proven guilty Guido was safe until he uttered those words. Once he had effectively confessed the authorities were free to use whatever means they saw fit to ascertain the identities of his co-conspirators. Mr Fawkes was both brave and honest, but the sharpest tool in the box he most certainly was not. We are what we are in Yorkshire & I'd rather be honest and simple than really sharp but untrusted. That said I'm not sure I'd be inclined to explode hundreds of people (including many innocent bystanders presumably) just because my religion got kerb-stomped, particularly as he had the means to travel and was able to communicate in a language other than English (he would presumably have been able to speak Spanish or Dutch and could have retired to a Catholic country on the continent should he have wished).🤔

Guy Fawkes was a hero

[@patrickmcgee8556]

i was a US child when i did a school report on him...i got a good grade but more important....he became a HERO to me....

[@sarahporter5713]

Never knew the full story! But always loved what I called “Guy Fawkes Day”. Who doesn’t love a good tire fire. Thank you for this one

[@onesunnyday5699]

I learned about Guy Fawkes back in the 70's when I had a crush on a certain British pop star. That led me to research him. Down the rabbit hole I went. The 70's before any pocket encyclopedia. Real books...so many books. Then came the 90's & the vendetta masks. I thought, this seems familiar. Oh yeah, that 'guy'. 🤣😂

All us kids in the 70's used to go round our village, dragging a Guy behind on a hand cart. Knocking on doors and saying "Penny for the Guy", and if the person who answerd the door did'nt give you a penny, someone would put red paint on their doorstep. Happy days.

[@dr.floridaman4805]

That's vandalism. In America we would have shot at you with potatoes guns full of eggs. Do it as an adult and the rounds change up.

[@dr.floridaman4805]

@@daearthflatyeet2261 Extortion even for a penny is wrong. Vandalism for being told no is why the world is fucked up. So asking for a penny and vandalizing is the same as asking for 100billion dollars, and when told no you vandalize. Thug mentality in adults gets them bodied. It is best to scare it out of the children and have them respect common law. Freedom, liberty, self determination. You do not determine what I do with my property.

[@Toastrackman]

@@dr.floridaman4805 same could be said for trick or treaters every Halloween.

[@dr.floridaman4805]

@@Toastrackman I was never taught to vandalize while trick or treating. I was never encouraged to vandalize either. I was taught to respect others property and what they wish to do with it. Liberty, self determination.

I'm related to John and Kit Wright and not many people know they came from a Royal bloodline of Wrights and that same family had actually helped overthrow a King long before this event even happened and how my very distant great grandfather became Knighted. After that they held high titles for centuries. Knights, Lords, etc. Sir Thomas Wright, Lord of Kelvestone Hall, Norfolk England was the last descendant before we moved to America for religious freedom. We were Quakers at that point.

[@jamesrohling]

Kit Harrington played Robert Catesby in in the TV mini series “Gunpowder”, and Guy Fawkes was played by Tom Cullen.

Remember, remember, the 5th of November.... Poor Guy had a tough life and a horrible death.

[@FNLWYR]

I’m an American and even as a child in the 1970’s we knew, “Remember… Remember… the Fifth of November.” I don’t think we even knew what it meant… but it sounded cool. I did later look it up, but I think the movie really helped internationally. Either way… I really enjoy your video, as I always do.

Great comment my friend

[@lyravain6304]

In Greece, we have a very similar custom where we burn the visage of Judas every Easter.

[@Toastrackman]

LOL can't be many people named Judas in your country then 😄

[@lyravain6304]

@@Toastrackman Considering our naming customs (basically; name your kids after Orthodox Christian saints or whatever their grandparents were called -which is often the same), I don't think we have anyone named Judas. Then again, we have a male name for "Bull" so... there can be exceptions.

Some of our names are from ancient times too like Apollo, Agorasti and Dionisi to name a few

Hey Thoughty2, eating nettle has been in the customs of the people living in Darjeeling, India (it's the place where I come from). Now if the Brits eat nettle like the people here in Darjeeling, I was interested whether the custom in our Nepali Culture of eating nettle plants came from the Brits, or was it the Brits who took a fancy in our custom?

[@MrRickPack]

As always, Well Done.

[@ASHl33164]

Cool video! Super interesting, as always. I'm sure there are a lot of people in the US who think that Guy Fawkes is a fictional character made up for the movie V for Vendetta lol

[@neilacrabtree1617]

We aren't without culture here is the U.S. We know he was real and what he did. Loved the V movie though.

[@danjames7327]

In Scotland we don't burn an effigy of guy fawlks. We just celebrate him on that night. Everybody loves an underdog.

[@majormoron605]

That's the problem with involving too many people in a secret plot. Someone's gonna slip up somewhere Also, "hanged, drawn and quartered"... Talk about excessive violence
