On this day in 1606 English revolutionary Guy Fawkes died. He was tried for his part in the Gunpowder Plot to blow up the Parliament building in protest of the corrupt and oppressive rule. Fawkes was to be hung, drawn and quartered but in denying the crown the justice they wanted he jumped from the hangman's platform to the ground below breaking his neck and dying instantly.
