Guy Fawkes was the first conspirator to be captured when the attempt to blow up the houses of Parliament failed.
Fawkes refused to give the names of his fellow conspirators and so King James I authorised the torture of Fawkes.
After the gentler tortures were used on Fawkes, he was literally a broken man!
