Was Guy Fawkes a freedom fighter?

Question

or was he a terrorist?

Answer 1

As Big Bird say - it all depends on where you put your eye.

Guy Fawkes (April 13, 1570 – January 31, 1606) also known as Guido Fawkes born in York, was an English soldier and a member of a group of Roman Catholic conspirators who attempted to carry out the Gunpowder Plot on November 5, 1605.

The plot was an attempt to assassinate King James I of England (James VI of Scotland) and the members of both houses of the Parliament of England. To do this, Westminster Palace was to be blown up during the formal opening session of the 1605 Parliament, in which the king would address a joint assembly of both the House of Lords and the House of Commons. Guy Fawkes was in large part responsible for the later stages of the plan's execution. His activities were detected, however, before the plan's completion. Following a severe interrogation involving the use of torture, and a trial in Westminster Hall, Fawkes and his conspirators were executed for treason and attempted murder.
