Gunpowder

Every year on the 5th of November we mark the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot in London in 1605 with bonfires and fireworks. It is often called Guy Fawkes Day because many people believe that the plot was devised by Guy Fawkes… However, while Fawkes played a pivotal role, the man who dreamed up the plot and was its driving force was Robert Catesby (Kit Harington), a 30-year old Warwickshire gentleman.
