414 years ago today in 1606, rather than suffer the brutal execution of being hanged, drawn, and quartered in London.

Guy Fawkes jumps off the platform breaking his neck and successfully committing suicide.

 
Guy Fawkes was discovered in the cellar of the parliament building with barrels of gunpowder in a plot to destroy the existing English government. 

The plot was organized by a group of Roman Catholics who wanted to replace the Protestant political leadership. All of the conspirators were tortured and executed by being hanged, drawn, and quartered. A method that entails being hanged by the neck almost to the point of death, emasculated, disemboweled, beheaded, and chopped into four pieces. Which makes it clear why Fawkes killed himself to escape this fate. 

The failure of the plot was commemorated in Britain and celebrated each year on its anniversary. Guy Fawkes has also become a bit of a rebellious folk hero for trying to abolish an existing government.
