Lady Macduff believes her husband is a traitor, driven mad by fear. She feels his fear led him to abandon her and their children. If Scotland was not safe for him then it was not safe for them and only a fearful man would have abandoned his family this way. She concludes he simply did not love them as even the smallest and weakest animal will fight for its children.

Answer #1 by Ginezumi Lady Macduff's main concern about her husband was the interpretation that others would give to his flight. She wasn't concerned about the reason that he might have had to do so. The nobleman Ross tried to tell her that she didn't have enough information to pass judgment on the why and wherefor, and that she should await word from Macduff as to the reason. But Macduff's Lady wouldn't listen. When she therefore moved from others' interpretations to her husband's motivations, she opted for madness, fear, or betrayal as reasons for her husband's escape. And so, in comparison to Lady Macbeth, Lady Macduff appeared to neither know nor understand her husband. By way of example, it would be interesting to look at Lady Macbeth's main concern about her husband. She knew him well, and always looked first to a husband's reasons and then to others' interpretations. And so her main concern was Macbeth's kindness. She feared his tendency to choose the morally correct way to get something done. She likewise feared his tendency not to do something that couldn't be done in a morally correct way. Answer #2 by Quailly3 Lady Macduff is mainly concerned with her husband's safety, even though he may be a traitor and he abandoned her and their children. She says to the murderers when they ask where Macduff is, 'I hope, in no place so unsanctified/That such as thou may find him'. She hopes that he is safe from the murderers even as she is threatened.

Edward I (Longshanks) of England. He was only an outlaw as far as the English king was concerned. Not an outlaw in Scotland.

The Jacobites supported the Stewart family.

In man-to-man encounters, both men were brutally psychopathic killers; Wallace had terrorized southern Scotland for years as a professional thief and murderer before rehabilitating himself through alignment with the Scottish enemies of Edward I, and Shaka Zulu assassinated scores of rivals in his consolidation of power, in some cases feeding the friends and family members of his enemies to wild hyenas. Neither of the two made their reputations as common foot soldiers, so it might as well be a coin toss if you dropped them each into an arena armed with nothing but bone daggers. Shaka Zulu was certainly by far the more notable strategic military innovator, and had been a distinguished member of a Zulu regiment, while Wallace was a brutish, unprincipled thug. Both were sadists, but which would win in an unarmed hand-to-hand fight would mostly depend on which one was healthier at the time.

A fairer comparison would be to compare Shaka Zulu with other empire builders like Napoleon (a roughly contemporary figure) or Ghengis Khan. William Wallace should be compared to medieval generals like the Sire of Coucy, or to guerrilla warfare tacticians like Jubal Early.

That's bullshitting mother f@*k&$

When Longshanks conquered Southern Scotland and put it under occupation Wallace was within the towns under occupation and revolted against Longshanks raiding towns and burning towns that supported the English and killed local lords , and then he was finally captured by the English and then sentenced to be decapated .

In support of the Jacobite cause which was the support of the Stuart claim to the throne believing that James II and VII and his heirs was the legitimate King of England and Scotland (or Great Britain after 1707) which led to risings lasting from 1688 to 1746. The major ones in 1715 and 1745.

It was effectively brought to an end at Drommossie Moor more commonly known as Culloden in 1746 which was a comprehensive defeat for the Jacobite cause by the Government. After evading government forces Bonnie Prince Charlie fled from Scotland never to return and after Charles's death his younger brother Henry recognised George III and his descendants as the legitimate heirs.

Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] and his Lady [b. c. 1015] were responsible for the death of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] of Scotland. Lady Macbeth was responsible for having planned the details of the murder plot. She also was an accessory in drugging the two royal guards, and in planting the murder weapons in the bloodied crime scene. Macbeth was responsible for having carried out the fatal stabbings of the three murder victims.

Yes, scotch whiskey is whiskey made in Scotland.

In 1938 (before the war had started, the German Air-force (The Luftwaffe) had taken reconnaissance pictures of Clydebank, Duntocher, Old Kilpatrick and Yoker - using non-military planes with cameras attached to them. From these they were able to see the large Industrial potential of the area in Wartime. In this pre war mission, they found the Fuel tanks at Duntocher, the Singer factory, John Browns shipyard, and the Shipyards in the Beardmore area (where the hotel/hospital now sits). These areas were heavily bombed on the nights of the raids.

After the war was finished, a Clydebank born soldier by chance found some of the surveillence photos from the 1938 mission.
