Inspiration for "V for Vendetta" and all around conspirator, Guy Fawkes was found out on November 5th, 1605 after trying to blow up Parliament (I like how you can say "Parliament" as an American, and nobody bats an eye and everybody knows what you mean. Thanks, cultural legacy!).
Let us just say that Guy had a rough time of it in the days that followed.
What you're going to want to know is summed up here.
- Remember, remember the fifth of November,
- The gunpowder treason and plot,
- I know of no reason
- Why the gunpowder treason
- Should ever be forgot.
So let us all give a penny for the guy, and a salute to the majesty of the Crown.

Did he have a grudge against funkadelic?

Well done, sir. Well done.
