On November 5, 1605, Guy Fawkes was part of the Gunpowder Plot, an attempt to kill King James I. In celebration of the King's survival, people around London lit bon fires. Years later, this celebration became a national holiday.
Remember remember the 5th of November
Gunpowder, treason, and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot.
I am curious as to where you learned this.
