I understand that Robert of Bruce was really running that operation. Different rules for nobles back in those days, I guess.

Articles that don't give the source of the information they reveal are becoming more and more popular these days. This is interesting, but I'd like to know how/where, at this late date, this information was uncovered.

I read somewhere that Bruce was suspected of betraying Wallace but I don't think they know for sure.
From what little I know, both Wallace and Bruce were fierce skilled fighters.

I suppose if the left prevails in the struggle for civilization, we'll all be executed at Earth Day Festivals or Renaissance Fairs.

I hate this story. Now the Democrats will think Tom DeLay is getting off easy.

Wallace became a martyr to freedom that day, and the spectacle created by Longshanks had an impact that he never would have imagined....the creation of a lineage and culture of individual freedom as the natural state of man, a truth that is now self evident but then was not, and a truth that Wallace' death help to bring forward into the future by Scots and Englishmen who remembered.
For that we have a lot to thank Wallace for and Longshanks? What a joke he was after the approach of his dotage became apparent to him. Wallace by far outwaxes anything Longshanks or any English King had done since.

Would that Mel Gibson's production could have shown the future King of Scotland as so.

I recall reading where some English Lord saw Bruce by himself and thought he would end the battle by killing him. Unfortunately, (or fortunately) Bruce killed the Englishman instead with a battle axe.

A vast number of people thronging to the medieval fair Wow, folks were into medieval fairs way back during medieval times. Talk about being ahead of their time!

Surely you're not suggesting that only lefties frequent Renfests.

Surely you're not suggesting that only lefties frequent Renfests. I hope not. Fighting lefties is a pain. You have to carry your guard wider and your dagger hand becomes much less useful.
Oh. He means POLITICAL lefties. Never mind.

Can one imagine Wallace on the chopping block, summoning the last breath in his lungs to yell "SECURITY!"?

folks were into medieval fairs way back during medieval times. "Western Trek" was a popular show. Trekkies dressed up like Geronimo, General Custer and Wyatt Earp.

My Mother's (not sure how many greats) Grandfather supposedly killed Sir Giles de Argentin at Bannockburn.
