January 27

This entry is a twofer. Apparently, England in the 17th century established the standard by which all future speedy trials should be measured. On the 27th in 1606, Guy Fawkes and the other conspirators in the famous Gunpowder Plot of November 5, 1605 went on trial. Fawkes would be executed by beheading on the 31st.
