H D & Q
1305: Sir William Wallace, found guilty of pissing off the Sassenach is hung, drawn, and quartered...The quarters of Wallace’s body were sent to Berwick, Newcastle upon Tyne, Stirling and Perth to show the price of treason. Wallace’s head was spiked above London Bridge. Edward (Longshanks) thought this humiliating death would be the end of the matter - that Wallace would be forgotten. He was wrong. Mel Gibson, himself a 'man of many parts' came along to set the record straight....exhibiting considerable but enjoyable "FREEDOM" with the facts-(and five Oscars): http://www.angelfire.com/rebellion/historicalheros/historyvsbraveheart.html
