“How about William Wallace, or Robert Bruce?”
Sounds like the British don’t see them as particularly great foes!
Actually, if you read the article, they fell outside the criteria used. Much too early.
Yeah, technically Wallace & Bruce ARE British...
Britain is NOT England.
Britain is England, Scotland, NI and Wales. Ireland and Wales, unlike Scotland, were conquered into the UK by England. Scotland joined in 1707.
Wallace and Bruce therefore for the purposes of this study, ARE British. As they are Scots, and Scotland is part of Great Britain.
Its a common mistake to think England means Britain and vice versa.
