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?

The real William Wallace did not wear a kilt. Historically, kilts weren't even around until the sixteenth century, and William Wallace was born in approximately 1272. I went to Scotland a couple of years ago, and while I was on a bus tour the guide told me William Wallace would have been too poor to have his own kilt, even if they had existed then. He told me that, like most other Scotsmen of that era, he would have worn trousers with a long shirt belted around the waist, or something like that.
