After William Wallace was executed in 1305, the English mutilated his body as a show of power and a warning to others. His remains were hanged in chains at London Bridge, while his head was displayed on a pike atop the same bridge. The brutal treatment of his body was intended to dishonor him and deter any further rebellion against English rule in Scotland. Eventually, parts of his remains were buried, but his legacy as a national hero endured.
