Happy Guy Fawkes Night! for those of you not familiar with it, let Stephen Merchant explain! Not Clear? How about a mini-series ? Guy Fawkes ("the last man to enter Parliament with honest intentions") Was involved in The Gunpowder Plot, ( see also https://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/evolutionofparliament/parliamentaryauthority/the-gunpowder-plot-of-1605/) caught, tried and executed for treason. But not just any execution. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanged,_drawn_and_quartered His punishment was brutal and specific (as our tour guide in York was more than happy to explain ...) " drawn backwards to his death, by a horse, his head near the ground. They were to be "put to death halfway between heaven and earth as unworthy of both". Their genitals would be cut off and burnt before their eyes, and their bowels and hearts removed. They would then be decapitated, and the dismembered parts of their bodies displayed so that they might become "prey for the fowls of the air" https://fiveminutehistory.com/the-execution-of-guy-fawkes-and-the-gunpowder-plotters-hanged-drawn-and-quartered/ So there you go. Happy Guy Fawkes Night! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_Plot_in_popular_culture
