Fighting Abroad

• Guy was 23 when he left England to join the
• Spanish Army. He wanted to fight for the
• Catholic church. When Queen Elizabeth
• died, a new king came into power. The
• Catholics were afraid of the new king and
• went abroad to find soldiers to help them
• and they found Guy Fawkes.

Guy Fawkes Plot

• Guy Fawkes plot was to blow up the houses of
  parliament with the king inside. But one of the
  Catholics sent a letter to one of the lords
  telling him to stay away from the houses of
  parliament on November 5th. But the letter ended
  up with the king. So the king sent his Guards
  down to the cellar to find Guy Fawkes. When they
  went down to the cellar they found Guy Fawkes
  hiding behind the barrels of gunpowder . They
  tortured him and then executed him on the 27th of
  January.
