Looking at Xiao Peng's shocked appearance, Clapton looked like a cunning old fox: "Lamington's Bailey family is fake." I have proof here. ”

Xiao Peng had to admit that after listening to Clapton's words, Xiao Peng's heart was moved.

Scottish Wallace can only think of one, and that is William Wallace, the actor of the movie "Braveheart".

Anyone who has seen this epic movie is thrilled with the story of the Scottish people fighting against England, especially the scene where the actor William Wallace shouts 'freedom' before his death, which is even more tear-jerking, and the film has been hailed as the best inspirational epic film.

However, as we all know, this film art is 'derived from life and higher than life', in fact, England's rule over Scotland is still Scotland itself invited the king of England to rule its own 。。。。。。

In 1286, King Alexander III of Scotland died, no heir to the throne was designated, and her granddaughter, Margaret, a young girl in Norway, became the queen of Scotland candidate, and then for the next four years, England, Scotland and Norway were at loggerheads, and finally Margaret was decided to be Queen of Scotland, and through negotiations, Scotland would be independent of England and free forever, not subject to the latter. Then Margaret got on a boat and went to be the queen of Scotland.

As a result, Margaret died on the way before she could reach Scotland, and the cause of death was ridiculous, most likely food poisoning caused by eating rotten food! (The queen eats rotten food。。。。。。 Alas...... ）

THE BISHOP OF ST. ANDREWS BELIEVED THAT ONLY A POWERFUL KING LIKE KING EDWARD I OF ENGLAND COULD PREVENT SCOTLAND FROM DESCENDING INTO AN ERA OF ZHENGFU. He then 'begged His Majesty to deign to go to the frontier to pacify the people of Scotland and put an end to the bloodshed, so that the loyal and good people of the kingdom might be crowned king by the heir to the throne according to the law.'

The most ridiculous thing is that at that time, Scotland did not deal with Edward I first, 'Outside must first be safe'? Thirteen people came forward and said that they had the right to inherit the throne, and they fought together, and in the end only John Barryol, Lord Barnard, and Robert the Bruce, Lord of Annendelle, were left, King Edward I of England said, 'John Barriol, you are the King of Scotland'. So the former became king of Scotland.

However, the good times did not last long, and the Scottish people deprived Vallior of their rights, and Ballior also announced that he would revoke his oath of allegiance to Edward I, and the two sides did so, well, that is, in the movie "Braveheart", William Wallace killed all sides and resisted bravely.

But to this day, there is still debate about whether William Wallace actually existed, and even if he did, whether he was a hero or not. All in all, this is a controversial figure.

Statues of William Wallace can be seen everywhere in Scotland, a national hero in the hearts of all Scots, and the Scottish people have been commemorating and celebrating his heroic years against foreign aggression for so many years. But the more interesting thing is that the people of Scotland now believe in his existence, while the people of England unanimously disbelieve in his authenticity.

Suffice it to say, there is no direct evidence that William Wallace is real. But this thing is understandable, after all, it was England in power at that time, and they couldn't stupidly promote a rebellious hero, right?

More than a hundred years after that era, a bard named 'Henry the Blind' wrote a poem about a man named Malcolm Wallace, an all-powerful and fearless hero in the Scottish War of Independence.

Henry the Blind is not blind, and Malcolm Wallace is not William Wallace, but this is indeed the earliest record of the image of William Wallace, and many people who believe in the existence of William Wallace believe that Malcolm Wallace is William Wallace's father.

However, in the wax seal of a letter sent to Ruerrick in Germany in 1297, researchers found that the official 13th-century wax seal had the words 'William Wallace, son of Allen', written in Latin.

Although the English unanimously denied the existence of William Wallace, God always liked to joke, and in the end, historians found clues in the Eagle Nation National Archives. It was a 'Lagerman handscroll' signed by the Scottish lords in 1296 swearing allegiance to King 'Longfoot' of England, Edward I, and it was densely covered with the name Alan Wallace.

If William Wallace is really the son of Alan Wallace, then this guy is a proper son of a nobleman. Because only the names of nobles of important status will appear on this list. And this background means that William Wallace was the son of a noble man who was trained from an early age with the goal of becoming a heavy jockey.

According to other historical records, William Wallace was the second son in the family, which means that his father's estate has nothing to do with him. So young Wallace left his hometown. And the reason why William Wallace appears in another historical document is more silent: an English soldier was arrested for stealing beer, and the co-defendant was William Wallace。。。。。。

Well, William Wallace was a Scottish convict who was messing with English soldiers。。。。。。 Later, he followed the knight Charlie Rondy in Lanarkshire, and later went to join William Douglas's team, and after William Douglas was captured and surrendered, he led people to find Andrew Murray.

After watching the movie "Braveheart", you should remember the Battle of Stirling Bridge, where William Wallace became famous. The shot of fighting cavalry with bamboo poles makes people's blood surge.

But unfortunately, the supreme leader of this battle was not William Wallace, but Andrew Morry. The latter was the respected rebel leader at the time, and William Wallace was in this team, which was considered to be a soy sauce player. (It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that the Scottish team at that time was made up by two people, but William Wallace was far inferior to Andrew Morley in terms of fame and number of soldiers).

And the Battle of Stirling Bridge was not like in the movie, where the two sides opened the team and the archers shot the cavalry and the cavalry charged the infantry.

The situation was as follows: the English army crossed the Stirling Bridge, the Scots laid an ambush in the forest, and waited until the English army had passed a third of the way to attack.

At that time, the English gentlemen thought that the Scots would wait for them to cross the bridge and set up their ranks, so they had no defense against the Scottish attack, and they did not think so when they saw the Scottish army rushing over, and the Scotland won a complete victory in this battle.

By the way, Andrew Murray, according to his status and background, he should really be a Scottish hero. Andrew was born in a Scottish gatekeeper family, was captured by the English and imprisoned, escaped from prison and fled back to Scotland, and the army led the rebellion, pulling up the largest army in Scottish resistance against England at that time. Unfortunately, Andrew Murray was mortally wounded in the Battle of Stirling Bridge and died a few weeks later, and after his death, it was William Wallace who led the army.

The reason why England hated William Wallace so much that even the history books were reluctant to mention William Wallace was that William Wallace had always believed in the policy of 'an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth', and he led his team to slaughter countless civilians in English towns adjacent to Scotland. And William Wallace also became the 'uncrowned king' protector of Scotland.

This is a rarity in the history of England. At that time, the wars of the Middle Ages were all about chivalry, so why was the number of war deaths in Europe lower than that in ancient China? That is, in Europe, generals led troops to charge into battle, while in China, generals scolded Fang Yu in the rear.

When European generals die, the war is generally over, just like Andrew Murray, who was obviously the highest commander of the Scottish rebels, but he took the lead in the Battle of Stirling Bridge, and finally died of serious injuries. And Huaxia is 'one general succeeds and ten thousand bones are withered', and the commander sits in the camp and arranges his troops and destroys everyone on the other side。。。。。。 Anyway, the dead are none of their business, so fight to the death!

After the Battle of Folkaugh, William Wallace was abandoned by his comrades, and his allies, Conn and Robert, fled. Eventually, the Scottish army was wiped out, and Wallace escaped, but his status has plummeted ever since. The status of Lord Protector was also given to 'Braveheart' Robert the Bruce and Conn.

And even so, William Wallace did not escape the tragic end, after being betrayed by the nobles, he was executed and dismembered by Edward I, and his limbs were sent to Newcastle, Berwick, Stirling and Perth, while his head hung on the London Bridge.

Henry the Blind's poem praising Wallace is actually for the purpose of zhengzhi, which is the aristocracy in order to profit from the border war, so they prevent peace between the two countries, and more than a hundred years after Wallace's death, he pushed it out as a hero.

But Xiao Peng didn't quite understand one thing: "Professor Clapton, what do you mean by saying that the Bailey family is fake?"

"Are you familiar with the name Marion Bradford?" Clapton asked.

Xiao Peng scratched his head, how could he know?

Clapton explains: "Henry the Blind, in his poems, describes the Wallace Rebellion as a romantic story of avenging his wife, Marion Brian Ford. 'The right of the first night', you know. That's what the movie says. But what about William, who didn't get married at all. Their family genealogy is well documented. The Bailey family, now in Lamington, has for many years said that they are descendants of Marion Brian Ford. In fact...... Whether there is such a person as Marion is another matter. ”
