What is funny is guy fawkes was a patsy, a Machiavellian stooge, designed to unite the english people and parliament behind their new Scottish king against their common enemy the Catholics. Oh how history get reinterpreted and in light of movies and pop culture and of course the #Occupy movement gets reinvented.

Always remember the 5th of November!

Guy Fawkes was a English Catholic. Am I missing something?

The conspiracy!! [deadhorse]

James's difficulties with the Commons and his waning public popularity notwithstanding,[16] the sensational discovery of the Gunpowder Plot aroused a potent wave of national relief at the delivery of the king and his sons and inspired in the ensuing parliament a mood of loyalty and goodwill which Salisbury astutely exploited to extract higher subsidies for the king than any but one granted in Elizabeth's reign

So the winner from the Gunpowder plot was James I. Guy was perhaps the first Machiavellian patsy.
