Notes - Patrick McGoohan played Edward I in Braveheart, a movie about William Wallace. This king had a nickname for practically every side of his personality. Edward was tall and nicknamed Longshanks for his long limbs. He was religious, but this king was also devious and called the Leopard. He was a strong fighter who launched invasions into both Scotland and Wales. Edward I was called the Hammer of the Scots, and also built several Welsh fortresses. Some historians call Edward the "father of the longbow", believing -- possibly mistakenly -- that he introduced this supposedly Welsh weapon to the English army.
William Wallace was, according to the English of the day, "a runaway from righteousness, a robber, a committer of sacrilege, an arsonist and a murderer, more cruel than Herod and more debauched in his insanity than Nero." (quoted in Hallam's Four Gothic Kings., p.156) According to the Scottish, popular legend, and moviegoers everywhere, Wallace was a great hero.
Wallace beat Edward I's forces in 1297, but lost to them the next year. In 1305, the English finally captured him. He was quite literally hung, drawn and quartered.
