Unlike in the film Braveheart, Wallace didn't use a claymore. The weapons he'd of used would be; a single-handed broadsword (medieval), a medieval dagger, a medieval shield and possibly a battle axe, a spear or even a bow and arrows. His armour would've been mail (chainmail).


Who was Edward the First and what did he do?

AnswerThere were no less than seven English kings of that name. Which one do you mean? You can find them all in any encyclopedia under "Edward."AnswerEight. The last one abdicated.AnswerThe question asks "Who was King Edward I" - He was the son of King Henry III and famously fought Simon de Montford in the Battle of Evesham in 1265. He was more like Tony Soprano than the Monarchs we think of today and could not be trusted.What did he do for England? He took most of its wealth and spent it advancing his realm; the Welsh Wars of the late 12th Century brought about many new Castles which still stand to this day. The film Braveheart highlights the endeavours of William Wallace who was opposing English governance of Scotland. It was Edward I who laid claim to Scotland and who eventually had Wallace executed.Edward I died in 1307 in Carlisle whilst journeying on to yet another brawl with Scotland. His epitaph reads "The Hammer of the Scots" although it's moot whether he truly conquered Scotland as he did Wales.

Did edward 1 deserve the title the hammer of Scots?

Edward I of England tried on a number of occasions to conquer Scotland and was particularly brutal in going about it. There were a number of bloody battles and the Scots mostly came off worst, but he never managed to rule Scotland. In 1297 William Wallace and his army won the Battle of Stirling bridge and the nation began to rebel against Edward's oppression. These were called the Wars of Independence, culminating in a decisive battle at Bannockburn in 1314 which secured Scotland's independence from England.


Is the movie 'Braveheart' a true story?

Yes, the film 'Braveheart' tells a true story of events in the history of England and Scotland. It's set during the time of the rule of English King Edward I [June 17, 1239-July 7, 1307]. The English King was nicknamed 'Hammer of the Scots' because of his fierce opposition to independent cultural, economic and political expressions by the Scots.The royal opposition found particularly fierce expression against Sir William Wallace [Uilleam Uallas, 1272-August 23, 1305]. That's because Wallace was a much loved leader in the Wars of Scottish Independence [1296-1328, 1332-57]. He ultimately was captured and executed for treasonous behavior, against the English crown, in his own country of Scotland.Nowadays, Wallace is remembered and recognized as a patriot to the Scots and as one of Scotland's national heroes.
