The Gunpowder Plot is mostly associated with Guy Fawkes, who was one of the key conspirators involved in the plan to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. Fawkes was tasked with igniting the explosives hidden in the cellar beneath the Parliament building. The plot aimed to assassinate King James I and restore Catholic rule in England. Today, Fawkes is often remembered through the annual celebration of Guy Fawkes Night on November 5th.
