Guy Fawkes

Back in the olden days a man named Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the houses of parliament by filling its basement with gun powder. This in itself is a misconception as Guy Fawkes was only hired by catholic plotters to do the blowing up itself. But the truth is the catholics who created the plan were themselves victims of a conspiracy.

The Theory
At the time there was a strong division between Catholics and Protestants. The Protestants were the most powerful and wanted the Caltholic's out of the way. So they constructed a plot to frame the Catholic's.

The Evidence

• By the time Guy Fawkes signed the confession, his hand writing was barly recognisable - clear signs he had been badly torched
• The basement space which the Catholics used was rented out to them by the landlord - a Protestant
• The only way to get government at the time was to get it from the Protestant gun powder - surely they would notice if that amount of gun powder had been ordered
• Mysterious the gun powder records for that year were missing
• The plot was uncovered when an annoymous letter was given to Lord Monteagle - who read it out to all the guests at his feast
