&lt;h3&gt;Gunpowder Plot&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You are probably familiar with the
&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_Plot" target="_blank"&gt;Gunpowder Plot&lt;/a&gt;,
in which &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes" target="_blank"&gt;Guy Fawkes&lt;/a&gt;,

&lt;h3&gt;Gunpowder Plot&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You are probably familiar with the
&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_Plot" target="_blank"&gt;Gunpowder Plot&lt;/a&gt;,
in which &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes" target="_blank"&gt;Guy Fawkes&lt;/a&gt;,
attempted to blow up Parliament on 5 November 1605.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And thus, because Guy Fawkes was reviled for his crime, the expression "You Guys" emerged
as an insult.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Norman Conquest&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But how did an Englishman come by the names "Guy", and "Fawkes"?
According to Wikipedia,
&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fawkes" target="_blank"&gt;Fawkes is a name of Norman-French origin&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well now. It just so happens that the
&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Conquest" target="_blank"&gt;Normans invaded and conquered England in 1066&lt;/a&gt;,
an event from which the history of English Nobility ever since can be traced.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Guy of Nantes&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And yet more than a half century before the Normans even
&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normandy#Viking_period" target="_blank"&gt;settled in Normandy&lt;/a&gt;,
which they would not do until the middle of the 9th Century,
(from where they would later sail across the English Channel and conquer England),
&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_of_Nantes" target="_blank"&gt;Guy of Nantes&lt;/a&gt;
was Count of Nantes, as of 778, which was of course the late 8th Century,
the &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_of_Nantes" target="_blank"&gt;County of Nantes&lt;/a&gt;
being located next door to what was not yet Normandy nor inhabited by Normans,
and Guy (of the Guideschi Family), not being Norman but Frankish of descent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, that was awkward.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Breton Peninsula Geography&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So who was Guy, who were the Guideschi, and why were they occupying a small principality
in between what are today Normandy and Brittany in the NorthWest corner of France?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you will recall that Charlemagne became King of the Franks in 768, but he was never able
to conquer the
&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany" target="_blank"&gt;Breton Peninsula&lt;/a&gt;,
because the terrain was too rough. Thus he appointed
Guy's father &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland" target="_blank"&gt;Roland&lt;/a&gt; as
Count of Nantes, intending for the County of Nantes to be a buffer zone of containment
protecting the Carolingian Empire from the inhabitants of the Breton Peninsula, (who
could not be conquered on account of the rough terrain).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Excile to Italy&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, one thing led to another. Guy's son
&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_I_of_Nantes" target="_blank"&gt;Lambert&lt;/a&gt;
had a falling-out with Charlemagne's son
&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_the_Pious" target="_blank"&gt;Louis the Pious&lt;/a&gt;,
which resulted in the Guideschi Family being exciled to Italy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And then in 834 Lambert was given the
&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Spoleto" target="_blank"&gt;Duchy of Spoleto&lt;/a&gt;,
even though he was exciled, and the Guideschis firmly ensconsed themselves in the
chaos and intrigue of what at that time passed for statecraft in Italy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Conclusion&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In conclusion I really have no idea where I was going with all this, but
thanks for reading all the way to the end, you guys!&lt;/p&gt;
