    Fawkes converted to Catholicism and left for mainland Europe, where he fought for Catholic Spain in the Eighty Years' War against Protestant Dutch reformers in the Low Countries. He travelled to Spain to seek support for a Catholic rebellion in England without success. He later met Thomas Wintour, with whom he returned to England. Wintour introduced him to Robert Catesby, who planned to assassinate King James I and restore a Catholic monarch to the throne. The plotters leased an undercroft beneath the House of Lords; Fawkes was placed in charge of the gunpowder which they stockpiled there. The authorities were prompted by an anonymous letter to search Westminster Palace during the early hours of 5 November, and they found Fawkes guarding the explosives. He was questioned and tortured over the next few days and confessed to wanting to blow up the House of Lords.
    Immediately before his execution on 31 January, Fawkes fell from the scaffold where he was to be hanged and broke his neck, thus avoiding the agony of being hanged, drawn and quartered. He became synonymous with the Gunpowder Plot, the failure of which has been commemorated in the UK as Guy Fawkes Night since 5 November 1605, when his effigy is traditionally burned on a bonfire, commonly accompanied by fireworks.

      Damien B UA-camrs can only use copyright free music, which you can get by using the UA-cam Audio Library. You can probably imagine how difficult it is to find any good copyright free music. Almost all of it is electronic, there are exceptions but usually they come in the form of country or slow guitar. Neither would fit this vlog, I think lol. One of the most time consuming parts of making videos is trying to find music that doesn’t completely suck. I actually like the songs we found for this video, I wouldn’t listen to them otherwise, but I think they are really great for copyright free music. I encourage you to look through the UA-cam audio library and see the choices we have. That being said, of course I totally understand not liking the music. There is nothing wrong with that, and I appreciate the honesty and feedback! Just hope that it won’t put you off of our other videos. Cheers! :)

    Old Man: It seems your reply to my comment criticising Islam has been removed or lost. I would dispute your comment about the Moslem discovery of Classical writings being accidental -- the Islamic scholars fully recognised the importance of these at a time when Europe was still in the dark ages, and were aware that they contained important scientific information, but also worried that Islamic theology couldn't cope with the Greek philosophers' critiques. They certainly built upon them and developed important research in astronomy (they knew that the stars, althougn seemingly small, were much larger than the Earth), biology (circulation of the blood), and physics. But after the Mongols tore Islam apart they became a spent force in science and never recovered their former power.

    • @maxmullen6337
      @maxmullen6337 5 років тому

      Carl Grove. I’m not sure about comments being removed etc. But thanks for your measured response.
      My concern is about how history is being revised continually to suit the latest political situation. Guy Fawkes was mentioned and immediately there is an assumption that the English were to blame. And it seems we invented slavery. It was unknown before we came along!! And judging the past by the standards of today is another insanity.
      The world has gone mad. People eat too much and get fat. But it’s not their fault. Generally speaking crime goes unpunished and people wonder wonder about the increase in crime. Islam is viscous and cruel but we are required to believe it’s a ‘religion of peace”. We are not allowed to mention there are no well-run, prosperous (except for oil) democratic Islamic countries, instead they are all are backward and poor. Just recently tens of thousands of Pakistani people were out in the streets demanding the execution of some poor Christian woman because she had used a drinking vessel used by Muslims, but that is not allowed to change the fiction. (And she had already spent eight years in death row!!).
      And we are not allowed to mention that all food provided by government organisations is halal because the Muslims demand it and their wishes come first. We mustn’t annoy the religion of peace. It might go mad.
      With respect. I think you are wrong about the power of Islam being diminished. It’s controlling us pretty well. Halal and all.

      @@maxmullen6337 I don't want to be in the position of favouring one religion over another, but in terms of viciousness and cruelty Christianity had a good start over islam -- burning people alive for preferring one version of St Paul's bizarre reinterpretation of Jesus's teachings over another, for example. Now equally bizarre versions of Islam have appeared and history is repeating itself. But I have to say that most of the Moslems I have met have been good and decent people, which is actually more than I would say about many so-called Christians! At the end of the day, people are humans and their lower and less attractive animal characteristics eventually find expression. Neither Jesus nor Mohammed would be much impressed by many of their so-called followers today.

    • @maxmullen6337
      @maxmullen6337 5 років тому

      Carl Grove. Come off it!!
      Jesus was executed by a superior power. He is said to have cured the sick, fed the hungry and preached turning the other cheek. And those were the ideas Christians were supposed to follow. Jesus was a the role model for (nearly) all that was good.
      Mohammed was a war lord, he wasn’t executed, instead he was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of conquered people. He even ordered the beheading of six hundred people - in one day!!
      We won’t mention marrying a six year old and having sex with her when she was nine!!
      One of the reasons the British invaded the Sudan (Doctor Livingstone and all that) was to stop slavery but also to stop extreme cruelty. Under Islamic Law a woman who had been raped was unclean. So even a young (nine year old??) girl who had been raped would be killed. She would be buried up to her neck in the ground and horses ridden over her until she was dead. And this in almost modern times. I think Winston Churchill might even have been alive at that time.
      As for burning alive. Do you remember that incident when ISIS shot down a Jordanian fighter plane? The pilot was captured, locked into a cage and burned alive. That happened a couple of years ago. And stoning to death for adultery (but women only) is still happening in some Muslim countries.
      And you have to tell me about your Muslim friends. Do they wish that that Christian woman had been executed? Tens of thousands of their countrymen did.
      Also tell me what makes Pakistan like Pakistan if not that the population is Pakistani. And tell me why you think a Pakistani living in England is different to a Pakistani living in Pakistan.
      It might seem very novel idea to you, but I think that the more Pakistani people we have living here, the more like Pakistan Britain will become.

      @@maxmullen6337 You seem remarkably ill informed about Mohammed. He wasn't a war lord, he was a merchant! I'm not sure where your figures of 100s of 1000s of conquered people comes from -- after his death, and an immediate conflict developed between the Sunnis and Shiahs, the whole thing fell apart (just as, looking at the history of Christianity, that became anything but a religion of peace within a very short period). You can't blame Mohammed's teachings, because they and the Quaran emphasized the importance of kindness to others. It was explicitly stated that war on others was only permitted in self defence. As for raping young girls, that is pretty outrageous. Nobody knows exactly when he and his youngest wife, Ayshea, had sex, any more than we know when Joseph and Mary (who was 12 when they were betrothed) did. Islamic Law, which was itself a contradiction of Quaranic teaching, was responsible for a lot of horrible things. Christianity also lost its essential quality when the early "Christians" compromised with earthly power and became power players on the political field. Neither religion comes off well when measured against the original teachings.
      I speak as I find, and I know several Moslems of Pakistani origin who would unhesitatingly condemn that and any other acts of ISIS. I suppose you would say the actions of the IRA reflect accurately the views of Christians, on this argument.
      I spent most of my life in the local authority with the second highest proportion of non Anglo Saxons in the country and next to the only local authority where non Anglos were a majority. I haven't seen any evidence that either location has become like Pakistan or anywhere else.
      If the UK has changed for the worse it has more to do with cultural influences from the US, in particular, than immigration from other countries.

      @maxmullen6337 5 років тому

      Carl Grove. I have to revise my opinion of you. You are not what I thought, a reasonable seeker after knowledge. You are a lefty-loon.
      Mohammed was a war lord. He might not have started out as such, but that’s what he became.
      And I am not a defender of any religion. They are all evil at core, though in the west religion has been reformed and today the Church of England gets its morality from a general consensus!!
      Islamic countries are very different and one big difference with the west is the absence of any reformation and certainly there has been no Enlightenment.
      I notice you are not bothered to realise that in the country where many of our immigrants come from, ordinary people want blasphemy laws and people to be executed for breaking those laws. Even drinking out of the wrong cup should bring death!!
      And your comment about the US is truly astounding. The US gets its laws and precepts from England and it abides by those rules. It doesn’t torture people to death for committing adulatory (women only).
      You are stupid beyond belief. Have you not noticed that lots (and lots) of Muslims want to live in essentially Christian countries but only the most eccentric westerners want to live in Islamic countries? Doesn’t that tell you something, apart from the irrationality of Muslims. They fight and lie and cheat and do anything to get to the west but once here they want to turn the west into the place they escaped from!!
      And even in recent weeks we learn that Muslims are refusing to give their children flu vaccine and protesting against teaching about homosexuality. Pakistan is one of the very few countries that has not eliminated polio. Many Muslims refuse to take the vaccine, they would rather their children die or be crippled for life. Not surprising really considering their attitude to incestuous marriage. As mentioned, about a third of serious birth defective children born in this country are Muslim, even though Muslims are only about six percent of the population. Though the number is doubling every ten years.
      Perhaps I should not mention intelligence quotients. It’s a fact that the average IQ of North Africans is 80. Meaning half the population have an IQ of less than 80. Really thick.

    In 1605 the Catholic Guy Fawkes tried to blow up Parliament and everyone in it. Not the king specifically.
    In those days the Catholic Church was the Islam of the times. Viscous and cruel and opposed to scientific advancement. The Catholics even burned people alive for suggesting scientific explanations for natural events. Even Galileo (said to be the first scientist) was threatened with torture and was kept under house arrest for the rest of his life for daring to repeat the notion that the Earth orbited the sun.
    (The Catholic Church admitted that the Earth really did orbit the Sun only in the mid 18 hundreds.)
    While Southern Europe were denying the Earth orbits the sun, in England someone was explaining WHY the Earth orbits the Sun.
    It was only by the neutralisation of evil religion that the modern word as able to come into existence.
    And the modern world was created mostly (not entirety but a lot more than any other nation) by the English.
    That’s why the English celebrate the foiling of the plot by Catholics to destroy Parliament. But that tends to be kept hidden now. Political correctness and all that.

      I don't think that's quite fair. Islam was never opposed to science and in fact many Islamic scholars built the foundations upon which Western science developed. On the other hand, the Catholic Church not only opposed science but any other Christians who didn't acknowledge its primacy. And not to mention thr role of the Vatican in aiding many top Nazis to escape justice after the end of WW2.

    • @maxmullen6337
      @maxmullen6337 5 років тому

      Carl Grove. Islam’s contribution to the world has been just about zero for the last 800 years. The one good thing done by Muslims was probably unintentional. After they conquered the Eastern Roman Empire they protected the teachings and learnings of both Greek and Roman culture that they found there. They did nothing with it themselves but when discovered by western scholars it lead to the renaissance (correct spelling).
      Unfortunately the Catholic Church censored much of it and leadership of progress moved to northern Europe.
      Even today there are obvious differences between less religious north and Catholic south in both Europe and the Americas.
      Meanwhile, Polio persists in Pakistan because they won’t use the vaccines, in Britain Muslims are refusing to take the flu vaccine and of course protesting against teaching children about homosexuality etc.
      And all the time Muslims continue with their incestuous marriage practices which produces nearly a third of serious birth defective children, despite being (for the moment) only about 6 percent of the British population. And just to rub it in, the cost to the taxpayer of each seriously handicapped child is about a quarter of a million per child per year. And Muslims seldom pay tax with most not working. (50 percent men 75 percent women.)
