Guy Fawkes (April 13, 1570 – January 31, 1606) was an English soldier and 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. Guy Fawkes was 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. Fawkes cheated his fate in a way: though weakened by torture, he jumped from the gallows and snapped his neck rather than being hanged until almost dead.Guy Fawkes's failure is remembered with Guy Fawkes Night on November 5.

If you are referring to Guy Fawkes, he was sentenced to be hung, drawn, and quartered, but instead he jumped from the gallows and broke his neck.
But being an Englishman, you knew that, right.
