Guy Fawkes was born in April 1570 in York, England. His parents were Protestants but during his childhood Guy converted to Catholicism. When he was 21 he left England to join the Catholic Spanish army, where he fought in the Eighty Years War. During his time in the Army he adopted the Italian version of his name and became known as ‘Guido‘.

In 1594 he joined a group of fellow English Catholics, led by Robert Catesby, in a plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament in order to kill King James I and his Government. Fawkes was responsible for lighting the fuse to the barrels of gunpowder, which they hid under the Houses of Parliament.

As we know, he did not succeed and an interesting fact when he went to the gallows he jumped off and broke his neck and died instantly.  They still beheaded him though! 

His personality colour was Yellow – someone who like to organise things and definately makes plans. He would have had a lively personality and analysed Interesting his inner child colour was Green, skills of Green and inspiring Green – Green rules the heart so he would have put his heart and soul into his beliefs that Parliament needed to be extinguished.
