Book description
John Paul Davis, the author of Robin Hood: The Unknown Templar
returns with the first biography of the man behind the infamous
Gunpowder Plot. For hundreds of years he has been portrayed as an
extreme figure,a rabid Catholic who not only tried to blow up
Parliament but threatened the English way of life early in the reign
of James I.
In this absorbing study Fawkes is revealed as far more than a
shadowy conspirator with an axe to grind against the Protestant cause.
Full of intrigues and insights into the policital age, it also
ultimately reveals Fawkes the husband,soldier, lover,adventurer - and
perhaps the most misunderstood of English villains.
