On #ThisDayInHistory in 1606, #GuyFawkes escaped most of his treason sentence for the #GunpowderPlot. He was supposed to be drawn behind a horse, non-lethally half-hanged, emasculated, disemboweled, & hacked into quarters, but broke his neck at the second stage in the execution.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1605, #GuyFawkes was arrested and the #GunpowderPlot was exposed. A group of English Catholics led by #RobertCatesby had hoped to blow up the #HouseOfLords and kill King #JamesIAndVI of England & Scotland, whom they blamed for limited religious tolerance.
Remember, remember...that your humble narrator is 70 today. ๐ #guyfawkes #gunpowderplot
As I do every year, I want to point out that Robert Catesby was the real villain of the Gunpowder Plot. Guy Fawkes was just the hired hand.

I know many of you are feeling very stressed today.
Understandable. I'm feeling that way too.
Remembering the attempted overthrow of the government IS stressful.
But take some time for yourself.
