For hundreds of years Guy Fawkes 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 the Historian John Paul Davis reveals Fawkes 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, Pity for the Guy also ultimately reveals Fawkes the husband, soldier, lover, adventurer and perhaps the most misunderstood of English villains.
