Guy Fawkes (April 13, 1570 – January 31, 1606), who was also known as Guido Fawkes, born in York, was an English soldier and member of a group of Roman Catholics who attempted to carry out the Gunpowder Plot on 5 November 1605.
The plot was an attempt to assassinate the Protestant King James I (James VI of Scotland) and the members of both houses of the Parliament of England, by blowing up Westminster Palace 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 by Judge John Popham, Fawkes and his conspirators were executed for treason and attempted murder. Guy Fawkes' failure is remembered with Guy Fawkes Night (also known as Bonfire Night or Fireworks Night) on November 5."

I think it was 1605, because I remember that last year they were saying it was the 400th anniversary.

we don't "rejoice proponents of terrorism". We rejoice the reality that guy Fawkes' attemot FAILED! many people as we talk beautify their "guy" to burn on the bonfire as a fashionable-day hate-discern - you ought to continuously beautify a guy as Osama Bin Liner or Saddam or the Muslim terrorist who has been arrested as we talk for plotting to explode tube trains below the Thames.
