The tactics employed by Wallace were similar to what you could call 'Terrorist Tactics' today. The main reason was that Wallace, being only a minor knight, was unable to call many men to his banner, so guerrilla tactics were employed to carry out successful opposition.
Are William Wallace and William the Conqueror the same people?
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.
Is randall Wallace related to William Wallace?
I believe that it is very likely that they are related. My great grandmother was a Wallace. Thinking back in time, at the time of William Wallace, the clan didn't seem to be very large, so why wouldn't we American Wallace's be related, somehow? Thanks!
If 'Eirinn go brach' means 'Ireland forever' why does Hollywood have William Wallace yell it just before the battle of Stirling?
I have been researching William Wallace for my class and this site is the best source I have found so far - it lists some of the truths such as Braveheart is believed to be his uncle not William himself. It explains some of the changes Hollywood made to make to movie enjoyable and still close to accurate. While I have not researched the language aspect of it yet - this may help get you started. http://www.highlanderweb.co.UK/Wallace/AnswerI think the answer is that you are in fact mishearing what they are saying, oddly enough both Ireland and Scotland speak similar dialects of Gaelic. After listening several times I am almost certain he is saying "Alba gu Br�th" which means "Scotland Forever". An understandable mistake as the sound almost the same. AnswerIrish Gaelic or Gaeilge is similar to Scottish Gaelic alright but they wouldn't sound all too similar when spoken. There were a very large amount of Irish who fought with the Scots so perhaps this had something to do with it, although why Hollywood would include that is unsure, unless it was a sly nod to Ireland seeing as the film was shot entirely in Co. Wicklow, Ireland.ANSWERIreland and Scotland are so interconnected, in fact William Wallace's parents were both Irish! William Wallace lived in and loved Scotland but in reality not depicted in the film both his parents were from Ireland.AnswerThe character of William Wallace in the movie "Braveheart" never said "Éirinn go brách," which translates into English as "Ireland forever"; rather, he said "Alba gu bràth," which in English means "Scotland forever." Listen closely next time you watch Braveheart, and you will hear this immortal phrase!
