Also on this fateful day
Guy Fawkes, just seconds before his execution, slipped away from his captors, jumped and fell to his death , thus escaping the fate of being hung, drawn, disemboweled alive, then having his limbs cut off, then finally beheaded.

Traditionally, Guy has been burned again and again in effigy for his crime; yet in the eyes of modern man, he is somewhat of a hero, the motivations given him being the truly grevious realities facing the English Catholics of his day. Be Guy a hero or monster, that moment of history is as timely now as it was then.
