GUY FAWKES DAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2016 #581

By 1605 Fawkes was calling himself Guido rather than Guy. He also used the alias John Johnson while serving as caretaker of a cellar—located just below the House of Lords—that the plotters had leased in order to stockpile gunpowder. Under the plan, Fawkes would light a fuse on November 5, 1605, during the opening of a new session of Parliament. James, his eldest son, the House of Lords and the House of Commons would all be blown sky-high. In the meantime, as Fawkes escaped by boat across the River Thames, his fellow conspirators would start an uprising in the English Midlands, kidnap James’ daughter Elizabeth, install her as a puppet queen and eventually marry her off to a Catholic, thereby restoring the Catholic monarchy.  fawkes was caught and hung for his part in an attempt to blow up parliament.  MANY PARTS OF THE ENGLISH SPEAKING WORLD CELEBRATE HIS DEATH ON NOVEMBER 5 EACH YEAR WITH FIREWORKS AND BONFIRES.  SHELTON FIREWORKS STANDS READY TO HELP THE CUSTOMERS PREPARE FOR THIS CELEBRATION.
