Come on Andrew, Scotland and England aren’t foreign to each other. We share same language,education and if you have to the same religion the same overall government and the Queen is head of state. We pass through each country by simply entering the borders , we both can take jobs in each country there no checks no passports and a lot more. Be proud Andrew but be honest.

No ethical or moral problem for them. They would have been Catholics who tend to go with the Pauline teachings that "Jesus died for our sins". His death is therefore His own choice and His murder fully justifiable in that it was all part of the deal so that people could sin and then be forgiven. The first hand teachings of Jesus of Nazareth are very different .... and they are still visible in the four Gospels if anyone cares to read them.

They had their income from personal estates not the whole land. That is the difference between Scotland and England, there were taxes of course but the personal income, though it changed a bit from the time of The Bruce to James VI came from personal lands

@@lyndsaycrawford Although frequently referred to as as Kings and Queens of Scotland , the proper title was Kings and Queens of Scots. Perhaps a minor difference in effect, but though some income came from taxes more came from their lands. At least that was the way my history professor explained it. The result was they had less power over the Kingdom than their English neighbors.
Such a horrible way to die.You could never really trust anybody,not even your family.Terrible times,dreadful ways of killing people and how they could line up to watch these horrors is way beyond my comprehension.
These executions were the equivalent of us going to the Cinema or going to a music festival. There would've been side shows, entertainment, food, drink. It was merely a social event. Human's have always had a morbid fascination with death, back then, they watched someone being hanged, drawn and quartered. Today we watch Horror films.
The Battle Of Stirling Bridge was a great victory for Wallace, he used the snaking shape of the river to force the English cavalry into an oval shape of land enclosed by the bending river as they crossed the bridge, the cavalry was bogged down and unable to charge or maneuvre and the main army could only cross the narrow wooden bridge at two abreast in a Thermopylae type scenario, the Scottish army slaughtered the English forces in merciless fashion and Wallace ordered that there should be no prisoners , the retreating and fleeing English army were chased down as they tried to escape south and back across the border and were decimated, the hated Hugh De Cressingham, Edward's Scottish treasurer was captured and Wallace ordered that he be flayed to death, any Scottish forces fighting with the English army were given particularly harsh treatment, these were violent times where gruesome methods were employed.
@@73BigMC You don't know history do you. Wallace was not the aggressor he was the defender, English King was always the aggressors. Wallace was chasing them back over the border until it became too much and he dealt out what was being dealt out in Scotland.
It is told William Wallace made a sword sheath and purse from the skin of Sir Hugh Cressingham, which was in retribution of Cressingham's flaying alive Scottish prisoners of war. It was a brutal time back then. Look at what Edward's men did to Earl Simon de Montfort's body after they won at the battle of Evesham, they had it mutilated in a most grisly fashion. So William Wallace's execution was par for the course.
How did William Wallace Die William Wallace was put on trial in London. This was largely for show, and Wallace had no chance of winning his case. After the court found Wallace guilty of treason on August 23, 1305, Wallace was sentenced to die in one of the most painful ways imaginable. Wallace was sentenced to be hung, drawn, and quartered. Wallace was taken to Westminster Hall and stripped naked. Wallace was then tied to a hurdle and was dragged by horses for six miles to Smoothfield. If this was not bad enough, during the journey, people that were watching threw feces and pieces of garbage at the Scottish hero. He was also beaten with rods and whipped by the crowd as he passed them by. As if his situation was not already bad enough, Wallace was also found guilty of robbery and murder meaning that he was sentenced for these crimes by hanging. Sadly, Wallace did not find rest when hanging by his neck by a rope - he wasn’t allowed to die. The next step of this sick process was the cutting off of the testicles and penis of William Wallace. Next, his intestines were removed and burned in front of him. And we are still not finished. 9. The next step of this painful ordeal was the ripping out of Wallace’s heart from his chest. We don’t know if Wallace’s heart was still beating as it was removed from his body. 10. For finality, the final step was chopping Wallace’s head off with an axe.
@@animeshpratapsingh3346 These Sassenachs did not do things in half measure! I am pleased to have known Wallace at the time in a former past life...he lived the way he thought...with honour and truth...very few people touch upon these virtues as he did...thus his end was assured...for the earth is ruled by the Lord of Darkness...who hates the light. The legacy thereby of Wallace is that he brought light into the dark hordes...as did other saviours of mankind...for the fight goers on! Not for much longer though...for the final acts of the Last Judgment are about to be delivered; for what a man sows, so must he one day reap...So let the deeds of William be a guiding light to all...to have courage to do the right thing in these times of great evil...
Many historians now believe it was Moray( Andrew Murray) who was the true General of the Scots at Stirling Bridge. He had the military experience, Wallace was more a guerrilla fighter. Unfortunately Moray was mortally wounded at Stirling and died several months later from his wounds. Wallace showed a naivety at Falkirk. The normal English tactic at the time was to hit the enemy with a mass Cavalry charge to soften them up, then finish them with Infantry, however Edward deployed a tactic learned while on campaign in France which was to barrage the enemy with arrows to soften them up, then send the Cavalry in to batter them and coral them, before finally sending in the Infantry to finish them off. Wallace was unaware of this tactic and had prepared his troops for the customary Cavalry charge. Andrew Moray might well have known of the tactic eventually deployed and prepared differently. When it comes to Wallace's execution, it was far more brutal than you describe. He was stripped naked, tied to a spindle face down and dragged through the streets of London, before being hanged by the neck. Before death, but while still suspended, his penis and testicles were sliced off, his abdomen was then cut open and his entrails spilled onto the fire below him. Still clinging onto life, he was then cut down and had his limbs hacked off. Finally, he was decapitated. Also the nickname 'Braveheart' was one given to Robert Bruce, not William Wallace.
A spindle? Like that thing new CDs come on? What the hell? That's new. I never heard of that. Wait so he was still on the spindle when they hung him? Hot dam. So if Mell Gibson had done it that way do you agree with another commenter on another vid that said Brave Heart then would have been a hoorrer film VS what ever it is cause I don't know what catigory it goes under. Man though even if the movie death is complete fake news and I guess completely week compaired to the actual death as people in movie reviews refuse to touch it Mell really is a great actor. No really, he somehow manages to sound like he's actually being tortured. How he does that I'd really love to know. Cause again he doesn't sound like an actor acting. He truely sounds like he actually got what ever all they did in the movie.
A sad day when people really seem to rejoice in the extreme torturous and violent death, dismemberment, and inhumane judgement of not even a subject of a tyrannical king--- remember he also demanded that the Scotches were not allowed to consimate marriages until after the bride had been destroyed by the man of will (any soldier of the king) hence where the Fornication Under Consent of the King came from. I personally am glad not to have had such a violent wedding night. Especially when many women used bundles of sticks to destroy any pregnancy which might have been the result of that trama even to bleeding to death. Horrific doesn't begin to describe the satanic barbaric execution styles of the last 6000+ years. Just read the journals of the archeologist based on the remnants left behind.
@@surv2239 I don't know if you're trolling here, but 'Scotches'?? Also 'prima nocta' being the thing you're referring to didn't exist. That was a wee invention for the film 'Braveheart'.
@KRYO BOY In all seriousness, I really hope it was quicker than implied. I can’t imagine that kind of human suffering. But I watched an Elizabeth I movie where they showed a guy burning a victim’s entrails in a pan and unraveling intestines on a spool. It was horrific and likely true. I love my Scottish brothers, having family history that goes back there to 1540 and beyond (still doing research).
Sir William Wallace is well honoured at the Wallace Monument in Stirling. It’s a bit of a climb up but well worth a visit if you’re in that neck of the woods.
I recommend the book "Braveheart" by James Mackay. It's a THICK book that tells the real story of Sir William Wallace.The book is SUPERB. I promise you that you will not be able to put it down.👩🏾👍🏾
I'm from Indonesia and really admire Sir William Wallace's courage. The film Braveheart I watch over and over. I believe Sir William Wallace is immortal.
Aye! He bloody well is. My grandfather was Wallace. Sir William's uncle would be one of my grandfather's. That particular line of Wallace's landed in KY. The area I'm in, Charles Wallace built the first jail, courthouse and watermill in the area.
Thanks for the content. To all the people in the comments pointing out their relationship to these historical figures, I would say this: You have 2 parents 4 grandparents 8 great grandparents, and so on. This keeps increasing at the rate of 2 raised to the power of the number of generations. For 26 generations it would be - 2^26 which is equal to 67,108,864. Given that there was only a few of million people in the British Isles at the time, this means that everyone ethnically Scots or British, who is alive today, is related to Wallace. Or to put it another way, "we are all Jock Tamson's bairns."
Apart from myself you are the only other person I've seen post about this. If you carry it back to circa 70AD it's 2^64 = 18,446,744,000,000,000,000 ancestral grandparents alone, never mind all the other offspring they produced. It's no wonder the bible says to avoid endless genealogy.
Cambuskenneth Abbey holds a portion of W. Wallace's body, I think the left arm/torso, the burial site is marked by two long stones and an inscription, W.W. The Abbot of Cambuskenneth at that time removed the body part from Stirling and buried it in the grounds of the Abbey.
Not really- Wallace is 100% historically verifiable, but it's very, VERY unlikely that there was one real guy called Robin Hood- there are actually records of a lot of thieves & outlaws called Robin Hood!
More than ever...the clutches and talons of the darkness are out...for the life of your very soul and spirit...and in so many cunning ways does it seek to capture thee...
Loved the movie but thanks for the history lesson it seams they got it as close as possible in the movie. What a brave man, my family tree is French on my father's side and understand the importance of alliances
His heart, liver and lungs were burned in front of him. Ummm, how can you burn someones heart in front of them? You take out their heart and they are pretty much dead. Not watching anything after that.
Trust me it takes a while to die. Especially when the sickos doing it know how to keep you going. Wallace was a HUGE man ( history claims beteeen 6'6 and 7' massive arms and legs, his claymore sword was taller than you, literally) they cut off his balls and pulled him apart. I don't doubt he was still alive when they gutted him open. Probably died shortly after they ripped his heart out. You got about 1 to 3 minutes to survive after your heart fails. But thats also just considering actual "survival". You can go for several minutes without oxygen to the brain, but after 3 to 5 minutes max, its a goner. Brain dead even if you bring them back from heart failure. I garantee you if the history is right and he really was a massive opponent, these little people ENJOYED torturing him like it was a freakshow. Probably took turns at him while he was chained. He wasn't no choir boy either. Killed hundreds if not thousands savagely in the same fashion. Basicly all that Island is a bunch of viking type barbarians trying to play fancy now.

Yeah that's the kind of thing I bring up to the Brit defenders. Those that get triggered by how Mell Gibson painted Long Shanks as a sicko bulley. Then of course the executer dude. "It can all end, Right now. Just say it, cry out, mursy." Again they could perhaps be right. It may indeed be an unfair depiction but I guess that is the kinda sicko puppy you'd have to be to do these things at least in Mell Gibson's mind. My thing was how could you even joke or what ever. Remember when the dude goes "Plesent, yes?" I'm like you imbitard of course not. Can't you hear he can't breathe? The hell's wrong with you? Hay and this coming from a guy that loves the Romans and their Flagrem. But yeah that Brit really really triggers me.
I’ve put the 23rd of August in my diary as a day to honour the man. Of the English I’ve always found Londoners to be the most loathsome.Generational squalor apart from a few rare exceptions brings out the worst in human beings. Long after the squalor is gone the mindset remains the same.
A brutal sentence and we would say barbaric. In Ye Olden Days, most peasants couldn't read, they had no newspapers, radios. As various parts of the body were paraded through the towns, the people were left with no doubt that the deceased was well and truly dead.
Yup, what a surprise that money/land/power still corrupt - even today! Understand, though, that the vast majority of the population would not have done this...there are ALWAYS bad eggs in a big enough basket.
Horrific death good grief this was more than just brutal torture the king of England had beat many times and was embarrassed in front of the people that he ruled over so sad for such an agonizing and brutal death rip🙏❤
Ummm- you might want to read the real story of William Wallace- he skinned several enemies ALIVE and then made clothes out of there skins... Yep... live brutal and die brutal. (Also he didn't wear a kilt or paint his face blue- he wore regular armor)

According to the great work The Birth of Britain by W. Churchill, Robert the Bruce was known as Braveheart, not Wallace. The movie with Mel Gibson was inaccurate beyond the pale.

What he really said was "Excuse me good sir, but it appears that my insides are now on the outside, so given that this state of affairs is a tad less than what would ordinarily be considered to be ideal, could you kindly desist your activities regarding the lower segment of my internal digestive tract as they are reaching an equilibrium at which any further undertakings in this field of operation could conceivably be moderately injurious my general health and wellbeing". But they did tone it down slightly for the movie.
None of these movies ever are. They have to tweak it to make it 'more' something always. Even so Braveheart still one of my favorites. Mrk Gibson makes good movies always. 🐝
@@gailspencer4451 Being hung, drawn and quartered, was a punishment reserved for traitors. Wallace was not given the privilege to defend himself because had previously been declared an outlaw i.e. "outside the protection of the law" The entrails would be drawn and genitals severed and burned on a brazier in view of the victim. Lungs and heart were left in tact as to prolong life and punishment, viewing ones entrails smoldering would present quite a psychological punishment well knowing chance of survival was nil. Arms would be severed next then the legs. If the victim was still alive and some would be, a merciful blow to sever the head would be administered. Death was seen as being the merciful end to the punishment as the victim was being sent to the after life. PS Interestingly: Guy Fawkes another traitor who had some military experience jumped of the scaffold breaking his neck a dying immediately thus not suffering the drawing and quartering part of his punishment but his body was still drawn and quartered.
I once attended a function at Buckingham Palace and took the opportunity to leave a big jobby floating in a lavvy for and behalf of Wallace and all the Jacobites who fell fighting Englands rule. I sincerely hope Wallace,Bruce and Charlie had a wee smile. An Ex Sapper.
In 1066 William the Conqueror, who reigned as king from 1066-1087, chose the site for Windsor Castle. It is located high above the Thames and on the edge of a Saxon hunting ground. its construction began around 1070, and it was completed 16 years later, in 1086.

They had their income from personal estates not the whole land. That is the difference between Scotland and England, there were taxes of course but the personal income, though it changed a bit from the time of The Bruce to James VI came from personal lands
@@kirkmorrison6131 there were kings of Scotland right until 1603, the Stuart dynasty & many many monarchs that’s came before them. Alexander iii of Scotland was married to Edward I sister. Only after he & his only heir died did Edward look to Scotland
@@lyndsaycrawford Although frequently referred to as as Kings and Queens of Scotland , the proper title was Kings and Queens of Scots. Perhaps a minor difference in effect, but though some income came from taxes more came from their lands. At least that was the way my history professor explained it.

These executions were the equivalent of us going to the Cinema or going to a music festival. There would've been side shows, entertainment, food, drink. It was merely a social event. Human's have always had a morbid fascination with death, back then, they watched someone being hanged, drawn and quartered. Today we watch Horror films.

Wallaces last day in London must have been a real "drag"
@@johnnyazer5779 aye, bet it was really drawn out.
The Battle Of Stirling Bridge was a great victory for Wallace, he used the snaking shape of the river to force the English cavalry into an oval shape of land enclosed by the bending river as they crossed the bridge, the cavalry was bogged down and unable to charge or maneuvre and the main army could only cross the narrow wooden bridge at two abreast in a Thermopylae type scenario, the Scottish army slaughtered the English forces in merciless fashion and Wallace ordered that there should be no prisoners , the retreating and fleeing English army were chased down as they tried to escape south and back across the border and were decimated, the hated Hugh De Cressingham, Edward's Scottish treasurer was captured and Wallace ordered that he be flayed to death, any Scottish forces fighting with the English army were given particularly harsh treatment, these were violent times where gruesome methods were employed.
Well according to the 1994 documentary 'Braveheart' there was no town and no bridge involved lol
Nearly as bad as those zero hour contracts.
actually the Scots army was jointly led by Andrew moray and Wallace not just Wallace
Brutal times, and Wallace got the same brutality he handed out.
@@73BigMC You don't know history do you. Wallace was not the aggressor he was the defender, English King was always the aggressors. Wallace was chasing them back over the border until it became too much and he dealt out what was being dealt out in Scotland.
It is told William Wallace made a sword sheath and purse from the skin of Sir Hugh Cressingham, which was in retribution of Cressingham's flaying alive Scottish prisoners of war. It was a brutal time back then. Look at what Edward's men did to Earl Simon de Montfort's body after they won at the battle of Evesham, they had it mutilated in a most grisly fashion. So William Wallace's execution was par for the course.
It’s a myth
Barbaric at the very least , those people were savage towards their own kind .
But brutality is still alive and well in certain countries even today. It's just in the human nature...

How did William Wallace Die
William Wallace was put on trial in London. This was largely for show, and Wallace had no chance of winning his case.
After the court found Wallace guilty of treason on August 23, 1305, Wallace was sentenced to die in one of the most painful ways imaginable. Wallace was sentenced to be hung, drawn, and quartered. Wallace was taken to Westminster Hall and stripped naked.
Wallace was then tied to a hurdle and was dragged by horses for six miles to Smoothfield.
If this was not bad enough, during the journey, people that were watching threw feces and pieces of garbage at the Scottish hero.
He was also beaten with rods and whipped by the crowd as he passed them by.
As if his situation was not already bad enough, Wallace was also found guilty of robbery and murder meaning that he was sentenced for these crimes by hanging. Sadly, Wallace did not find rest when hanging by his neck by a rope - he wasn’t allowed to die.
The next step of this sick process was the cutting off of the testicles and penis of William Wallace.
Next, his intestines were removed and burned in front of him.
And we are still not finished.
9. The next step of this painful ordeal was the ripping out of Wallace’s heart from his chest. We don’t know if Wallace’s heart was still beating as it was removed from his body.
10. For finality, the final step was chopping Wallace’s head off with an axe.
Also very hateful. It’s the weather 😉
@@animeshpratapsingh3346 These Sassenachs did not do things in half measure! I am pleased to have known Wallace at the time in a former past life...he lived the way he thought...with honour and truth...very few people touch upon these virtues as he did...thus his end was assured...for the earth is ruled by the Lord of Darkness...who hates the light. The legacy thereby of Wallace is that he brought light into the dark hordes...as did other saviours of mankind...for the fight goers on! Not for much longer though...for the final acts of the Last Judgment are about to be delivered; for what a man sows, so must he one day reap...So let the deeds of William be a guiding light to all...to have courage to do the right thing in these times of great evil...
I was there, it was brutal, but he didn't shout freedom, he actually shouted "wombats eat souffle in Gibraltar!" Must've been delirious with pain.
😂😂😂
Is that you TK Kirkland?
Thank you for giving us this :)
Thanks for your comment mate!
Many historians now believe it was Moray( Andrew Murray) who was the true General of the Scots at Stirling Bridge. He had the military experience, Wallace was more a guerrilla fighter. Unfortunately Moray was mortally wounded at Stirling and died several months later from his wounds.
Wallace showed a naivety at Falkirk. The normal English tactic at the time was to hit the enemy with a mass Cavalry charge to soften them up, then finish them with Infantry, however Edward deployed a tactic learned while on campaign in France which was to barrage the enemy with arrows to soften them up, then send the Cavalry in to batter them and coral them, before finally sending in the Infantry to finish them off. Wallace was unaware of this tactic and had prepared his troops for the customary Cavalry charge. Andrew Moray might well have known of the tactic eventually deployed and prepared differently.
When it comes to Wallace's execution, it was far more brutal than you describe.
He was stripped naked, tied to a spindle face down and dragged through the streets of London, before being hanged by the neck. Before death, but while still suspended, his penis and testicles were sliced off, his abdomen was then cut open and his entrails spilled onto the fire below him. Still clinging onto life, he was then cut down and had his limbs hacked off. Finally, he was decapitated.
Also the nickname 'Braveheart' was one given to Robert Bruce, not William Wallace.
Eagle owl smythe Apparently english cavalry was sent in again & again but made little impact on the schiltrons, before the archers were used.
A spindle? Like that thing new CDs come on? What the hell? That's new. I never heard of that. Wait so he was still on the spindle when they hung him? Hot dam. So if Mell Gibson had done it that way do you agree with another commenter on another vid that said Brave Heart then would have been a hoorrer film VS what ever it is cause I don't know what catigory it goes under. Man though even if the movie death is complete fake news and I guess completely week compaired to the actual death as people in movie reviews refuse to touch it Mell really is a great actor. No really, he somehow manages to sound like he's actually being tortured. How he does that I'd really love to know. Cause again he doesn't sound like an actor acting. He truely sounds like he actually got what ever all they did in the movie.
A sad day when people really seem to rejoice in the extreme torturous and violent death, dismemberment, and inhumane judgement of not even a subject of a tyrannical king--- remember he also demanded that the Scotches were not allowed to consimate marriages until after the bride had been destroyed by the man of will (any soldier of the king) hence where the Fornication Under Consent of the King came from. I personally am glad not to have had such a violent wedding night. Especially when many women used bundles of sticks to destroy any pregnancy which might have been the result of that trama even to bleeding to death. Horrific doesn't begin to describe the satanic barbaric execution styles of the last 6000+ years. Just read the journals of the archeologist based on the remnants left behind.

Thanks for the content.
To all the people in the comments pointing out their relationship to these historical figures, I would say this:
You have 2 parents 4 grandparents 8 great grandparents, and so on. This keeps increasing at the rate of 2 raised to the power of the number of generations. For 26 generations it would be - 2^26 which is equal to 67,108,864.
Given that there was only a few of million people in the British Isles at the time, this means that everyone ethnically Scots or British, who is alive today, is related to Wallace.
Or to put it another way, "we are all Jock Tamson's bairns."
Hahaha! This did make me laugh if i'm honest. It is true!
Can you document the connection?
How many people were living in Scotland in Wallace's days
Apart from myself you are the only other person I've seen post about this. If you carry it back to circa 70AD it's 2^64 = 18,446,744,000,000,000,000 ancestral grandparents alone, never mind all the other offspring they produced. It's no wonder the bible says to avoid endless genealogy.

The only thing the movie got close to the real life of William Wallace was the way he died. That's about it.
Most of the movie wasn't accurate at all.
His heart, liver and lungs were burned in front of him.
Ummm, how can you burn someones heart in front of them? You take out their heart and they are pretty much dead. Not watching anything after that.
i'm pretty sure he was already dead they just did it i from to this corpse
You can live up to 30 seconds after the heart is ripped out, maybe even more, not much more but yeah...
He also had his meat and two veg cut off too
Trust me it takes a while to die. Especially when the sickos doing it know how to keep you going. Wallace was a HUGE man ( history claims beteeen 6'6 and 7' massive arms and legs, his claymore sword was taller than you, literally) they cut off his balls and pulled him apart. I don't doubt he was still alive when they gutted him open. Probably died shortly after they ripped his heart out. You got about 1 to 3 minutes to survive after your heart fails. But thats also just considering actual "survival". You can go for several minutes without oxygen to the brain, but after 3 to 5 minutes max, its a goner. Brain dead even if you bring them back from heart failure. I garantee you if the history is right and he really was a massive opponent, these little people ENJOYED torturing him like it was a freakshow. Probably took turns at him while he was chained. He wasn't no choir boy either. Killed hundreds if not thousands savagely in the same fashion. Basicly all that Island is a bunch of viking type barbarians trying to play fancy now.

I believe so since I have heard of a rack thing they rack you up to and stretch you with and dislocate everything but I don't know if it was a thing in 1305.
We are still rather barbaric. We hide it though, behind veils of silence and political correctness, but the truth is it’s still there...all you have to do is peel back the veneer portrayed by news and social media and you’ll find horrors. The thing is whenever anyone says anything about these things they get labelled a conspiracy theorist. The true threat today is mind control through clever use of words, double think from 1984.
Ah ya actually went there friend. Yes it's true. Why do you think the good trusty old US of A wants Julian Asange gone? Oh that's right cause he exposed the verry thing you are refering to friend.

Meaning meh it's war bruh saddly people go kind of odd with war. Hence why mom is against it.
Yeah that's the kind of thing I bring up to the Brit defenders. Those that get triggered by how Mell Gibson painted Long Shanks as a sicko bulley. Then of course the executer dude. "It can all end, Right now. Just say it, cry out, mursy." Again they could perhaps be right. It may indeed be an unfair depiction but I guess that is the kinda sicko puppy you'd have to be to do these things at least in Mell Gibson's mind. My thing was how could you even joke or what ever. Remember when the dude goes "Plesent, yes?" I'm like you imbitard of course not. Can't you hear he can't breathe? The hell's wrong with you? Hay and this coming from a guy that loves the Romans and their Flagrem. But yeah that Brit really really triggers me.

He was executed at Smithfield. He wasn't the first to be hung, drawn and quartered. That was another William. Fitzosbert, in 1296 at Tyburn.
None of these movies ever are. They have to tweak it to make it 'more' something always. Even so Braveheart still one of my favorites. Mrk Gibson makes good movies always. 🐝
@@gailspencer4451 Being hung, drawn and quartered, was a punishment reserved for traitors. Wallace was not given the privilege to defend himself because had previously been declared an outlaw i.e. "outside the protection of the law" The entrails would be drawn and genitals severed and burned on a brazier in view of the victim. Lungs and heart were left in tact as to prolong life and punishment, viewing ones entrails smoldering would present quite a psychological punishment well knowing chance of survival was nil. Arms would be severed next then the legs. If the victim was still alive and some would be, a merciful blow to sever the head would be administered. Death was seen as being the merciful end to the punishment as the victim was being sent to the after life.
PS Interestingly: Guy Fawkes another traitor who had some military experience jumped of the scaffold breaking his neck a dying immediately thus not suffering the drawing and quartering part of his punishment but his body was still drawn and quartered.
True hero of Scottish independence.
I once attended a function at Buckingham Palace and took the opportunity to leave a big jobby floating in a lavvy for and behalf of Wallace and all the Jacobites who fell fighting Englands rule.
I sincerely hope Wallace,Bruce and Charlie had a wee smile.
An Ex Sapper.
What a delightful tale.
Thanks for another great lesson.🤓
Thanks for your kind words Elizabeth!
Which king or queen built Windsor castle? Can you do a video on that please!
In 1066 William the Conqueror, who reigned as king from 1066-1087, chose the site for Windsor Castle. It is located high above the Thames and on the edge of a Saxon hunting ground. its construction began around 1070, and it was completed 16 years later, in 1086.
Why is it named Windsor castle is that the region? You can tell by my last name why I’m interested!
@@Onlinewarrior350 During my research, I found the castle's name came from the 'Old Windsor' which was used by the Saxon Kings of the Dark Ages. Ref: www.ancientfortresses.org/windsor-castle.htm.
During the First World War (1914-1918 CE) the German links of the British Royal family, then known as the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, were carefully played down, and one notable change was, from 17 July 1917, to adopt the name Windsor, after the castle, ref: www.ancient.eu/Windsor_Castle/#:~:text=During%20the%20First%20World%20War,name%20Windsor%2C%20after%20the%20castle.
I hope this helps!
@@rallymaster001 thanks
@@Onlinewarrior350 You're most welcome!
Thing is, this is still colouring Scottish politics today !
Only in the sense that Westminster still think of Scotland as their own land to do with as they please and we hold WW as a symbol of resistance against that.
@@jameshutcheson5847 If you think the English want to do as they please with scotland just wait until you get an all powerful government head like Sturgeon as she wants everyone to believe what you just stated
@@MrAvant123 Her recent anti free speech legislation proves your point.
@aileen wournos yeah right !
@aileen wournos you don't know me but have chosen to insult me. I happen to like scotland and the Scottish but I think we need each other and that sturgeon has duped you all. And btw I am welsh !
Have you done a report on Edward I and II ? Thanks
I haven't yet no! Any suggestions what sort of video you'd like on these?
@@TheUntoldPast Thank you very much. If you have the time ! It's for understand the failure of Edward II, his horrible end, compared to his father's success.
Fantastic
