April 13th - Guy Fawkes | English Conspirator, The Man behind the Mask

Guy Fawkes was an English Catholic conspirator, who was convicted in 1605 as part of the "Gunpowder Plot" to blow up the British Parliament with gunpowder.

The mask with his face became a well-known symbol for anti-government and anti-establishment protests around the world.

"On This Day..." is a project I decided to take on where I post a short (around 1min) video about a personality born that day or an important historical event.
