A new Channel 5 series The Gunpowder Plot: Countdown to Treason will delve deep into the real historical event orchestrated by Yorkshire-born Guy Fawkes.
Guy Fawkes was a member of a group of provincial English Catholics involved in the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. He was born in Stonegate, York, was educated at St Peter’s School and his father died when he was eight years old. After leaving school, he entered the service of Anthony Browne, 1st Viscount Montagu and later Anthony-Maria Browne, 2nd Viscount Montagu.
The series will look into how decades of persecution led Catholic mastermind Robert Catesby to devise the plot, which would see the complete destruction of Parliament and the murder of hundreds of people. The hour by hour account follows the plotters as they assemble their gang and carry out the attack.
