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

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.

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!

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

Dang, did those guys know how to have a good time or what? I'm thinking Tookie Williams, four horses, four different directions, and me with an arquebus in the middle. "Gentlemen, start your engines..."

Actually I believe he was racked, vivisected, beheaded, then drawn and quartered; with his head placed on London Bridge and his remains "scattered to the four winds"; i.e. taken to the farthest points on the compass in the British Isles.
