No they aren't.

William Wallace was a Scot who fought for the freedom of Scotland from England and Edward Longshanks starting in 1297. He was the second of three sons of Sir Malcolm Wallace of Elderslie. His early education came from a uncle who was a priest of Dunipace. In 1298 Edward invaded Scotland with 88,000 men and Wallace fought him at Falkirk on July 22 where his infantry was shot down by the English. Wallace was arrested on August 3, 1305 and taken to London where he was hanged, drawn, beheaded, and quartered.

William the Conqueror was born at Falaise and was the bastard son of Robert III, Duke of Normandy. He became duke when is father died in 1035. In 1064 Harold came to William's court to promise him the English crown upon the death of Edward. However when Edward died in 1066 Harold took the crown for himself so William claimed the crown and went to the pope to be approved. The pope approved it and on Oct. 14, 1066 William defeated Harold at Hastings and William was crowned December 25.

What was Braveheart William Wallace's full name?

Uilliam Uallas (in old Gaelic), or William Wallace (in English) Comment on above: Do we know to what extent William Wallace, a lowland knight, spoke or would have been addressed in Gaelic? I know that the Wikipedia entry includes it but was his name ever recorded in that form? Given that in the late C13 Gaelic was still, except to a tiny minority, a non-literate language, is not rendering William Wallace as Uilliam Uallas is a fairly redundant transliteration of an Anglo Norman name which would have been more or less the same in the mouth of a Scots speaker or a Gael?


Who built the white Tower of London?

Encircling it to the north, east, and west is the inner ward, built during the reign of Richard the Lionheart (1189-1199). Finally, there is the outer ward which encompasses the castle and was built under Edward I. Although there were several phases of expansion after William the Conqueror founded the Tower of London, the general layout has remained the same since Edward I completed his rebuild in 1285.
