Wasn't he burned to death?

Answer 2

Here's a contemporary newspaper account (read all abaht it on page 2!).http://www.exmsft.com/~davidco/History/f... Guy Fawkes, whose name, disappointingly, was really Johnson, broke his neck when falling from the scaffold to the ground. The traitors were drawn and quartered after hanging.

Answer 3

In the Catholic church's wish book maybe. They so love a Martyr!
