London 4th November 1605. The Fleet Streete broadsheet, Ye Daily Maile, today proclaimed as "Enemies of the People" the three Judges who yesterday upheld the right of the Parliament, rather than the King and his Ministers, to secede from an alliance with the Holy Roman Empire. The editor of Ye Maile, Mr Guy Fawkes, said that beacons had been lit throughout the Kingdom in favour of leaving the alliance and that the people, rather than Parliament, must have supremacy. "Wait until the morrow, there will be fireworks over this" commented Mr Fawkes, over a quart of ale in Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese publicke house.
