November 5, 1605, a solitary figure is arrested in the cellars of Parliament House. Although he first
gives his name as John Johnson, a startling series of events begins to unfold under torture. Guy Fawkes, as he is
really called, is one of thirteen who have conspired to blow up the parliament, the King, and his Lords, thereby
throwing the whole country into turmoil, out of which these traitors hoped to raise a new monarch who was sympathetic
to their cause, and return England to its Catholic past.
