William Wallace

Lack of breath.

The actual procedure used to execute Sir William Wallace was to be 'hanged, drawn and quartered' and, according to Patwoods, "was a punishment in mediaeval England and Ireland for English commoners and any Scots, Irish or Welsh found guilty of high treason, until it was abolished in 1814. The punishment was not removed from Scottish law until 1947.

"It didn't apply to women (except in the Isle of Man) who were more kindly dealt with by being burned alive at the stake until the 1790s, when they were hanged instead. Members of the English nobility were also dealt with more mercifully, being beheaded.

"King Edward I (who Wallace fought against) is thought to have come up with the idea when he needed to teach Wales a lesson by causing his childhood companion, Daffyd, Prince of Wales, to be put to death in 1283 in an especially nasty and memorable manner, for turning against the English in general and his Majesty in particular.

"How someone who isn't English could be convicted of treason against the English has never been explained, though Scottish William Wallace raised this question at his own trial for treason; it did him no good, though.

"The punishment itself consisted of being dragged, or drawn, naked on a wooden stretcher to the public execution area, where the people would gather, some raucously following the criminals as they were drawn through the streets. Food and beer was available for sale and it was a big day out for all.

"On arrival at the public scaffold the traitor was hanged just sufficiently to hurt a lot but not to actually die. Then his genitals were cut off, he was disembowelled (with a special disembowelling device), and the whole mess was burned where he could see it close-up.

"He was then beheaded and his body cut into four parts, and these five bits were stuck on poles or spikes, or otherwise hung from a highly-visible place as a warning to others contemplating treason. The head was simmered in salty water before display, so the traitors face would remain recognizable.

"The execution of the Scot, William Wallace, in this manner was lovingly detailed at the time in 1305. His four body parts went to four different cities while his head (this time dipped in tar) was stuck on London Bridge."

The Ragman Roll was a list of Scotsmen who supported the King of England. Due to the mistreatment of the Scottish people by the English, Wallace refused to be part of the Roll. He opposed English rule.

William "Braveheart" Wallace was a Scottish Knight, landowner and freedom fighter that lived approximately between the periods of 1270 and 1305. There are no historical records to support the notion that Wallace was ever married let alone had children and for that matter any records then that would describe that child as a daughter. A hero to the Scot's he has been more romanticized and fictionalized than enshrined in historical account. It was Blind Harry, most famous for his tales of Wallace, who wrote The Acts and Deed of Sir William Wallace, Knight of Elerslie. This account is highly criticized by historians as being largely fictional. There was the poet Walter Scott who penned Exploits and Death of William Wallace, "Hero of Scotland" and Jane Porter who penned a romantic version of Wallace in The Scottish Chiefs. The movie Braveheart relied heavily upon all of these accounts and it was most likely Randall Wallace who wrote the screenplay who invented, if not borrowed from other fictional accounts, Wallace's tragic wife and the sad and taboo love to the English Queen who claimed to bear his child.

W.A.A. "Bigfoot" Wallace, died of natural causes in January, 1899, at the age of 81.

William Wallace Denslow died on 1915-05-27.

No, it was Alan Wallace.

He didn't have a nickname, he was from Scotland.

No. Braveheart, whilst being an exciting film, was full of historical inaccuracies.

Isabella's firstborn, Edward III was born on 13 November 1312, William Wallace was executed on 23 August 1305. So a physical impossibility!

He had no brothers

william wallace was the invento of the condom and dildo

This is a statement, not a question. Wallace fought the British.

Wallace was a man with many enemies,

predominantly the English as he lead a resistance movement against there occupation of Scotland.

Scottish nobles such as Robert Bruce, the earl of Atholl and Mar and the earl of Lennox who disliked him as he supported the Balliol claim (Bruce is even thought to hav efought for the English at Falkirk)

Scottish nobles such as the Earl of Dunbar as he supported the English, he was the one who betrayed Wallaces position to Edward at Falkirk

Scottish nobles in general because they didnt want a commoner having much say in the Kingdoms running

I have seen the movie and it showed that the lady that was his friend when he was a child it showed that they were about to.

My Father Gordon W Clough was a Driver in the 20th Battlion ( NZ) for WW2 - and was made a POW off Crete and was a POW at Stalag 8b Lamsdorf from August 1941 to early 1945. This may help. You should get W A Riches personal army record from the NZ Defence Dept Wellington - that will show if he was in Stalag 8b - which I would think is most likely if he was a POW off Crete. Regards and good luck Jim SG Clough (Auckland)

There isn't much known about him other than he was an Irishmen that fought alongside Wallace and was basically his right hand man.

Part of him.

Wether it was a leg or arm sent to Berwick is not known.

nor is it known where said disembodied limb went to after being sent there. So while it was probably buried, it could as easily have been thrown in a midden.

I doubt it- unless their birth years were way off. Queen Isabella lived from ca. 1295--1358. William Wallace lived from ca. 1272-1305. Queen Isabella was married to Edward II (son of Longshanks) to help ease relations with France. Edward II was said to be very cruel to his queen. Eventually Isabella freed a man named Sir Roger Mortimer from the Tower of London and helped him escape to France to help her brother Charles. She later escaped to France also. With the help of Charles, Isabella and Sir Roger raised and army to overthrow Edward and his advisor Hugh Despenser (said to be his lover). The story is more detailed than that, but that's my understanding.
