☞ About A-frames (aka Wigwams) in revisited memories

Recently I found myself cleaning my hard drive and found lovely scraps of my past. That was a pretty day on a windy and rainy island that ended up with very good fish and chips if I remember correctly.

William Wallace

Sir William Wallace (en torno a 1270-1305) fue un caballero escocés y un héroe nacional que luchó para independizar a Escocia de Inglaterra. Wallace llevó a los escoceses a una espectacular victoria contra una fuerza mayor de ingleses en la batalla del puente de Stirling en septiembre de 1297.

Édouard Ier d'Angleterre

Édouard Ier d'Angleterre régna de 1272 à 1307. Édouard succéda à son père Henri III d'Angleterre (r. de 1216 à 1272) et était connu sous le nom de "Longshanks" (ou le Sec) en raison de sa taille impressionnante et de "Marteau des Écossais" en raison de ses attaques répétées contre l'Écosse. Au cours d'un règne mouvementé et souvent brutal, il participa à une croisade, soumit le Pays de Galles, tenta de conquérir l'Écosse et construisit de nombreux châteaux de qualité qui subsistent encore aujourd'hui, en particulier dans le nord du Pays de Galles. Son fils Édouard II d'Angleterre (r. de 1307 à 1327), puis son petit-fils Édouard III d'Angleterre (r. de 1327 à 1377) lui succédèrent.

TODAY IN HISTORY:

September 11, 1297 - Scots under William Wallace defeat the English at Stirling Bridge

The English force attempted to cross the River Forth via a narrow wooden bridge in front of the Scottish lines. During the fight, under the overwhelming weight, the bridge collapsed. Although vastly outnumbered, the Scottish army routed the English army.

One particularly prominent English knight, Sir Hugh Cressingham, was killed early in the fight, butchered when he fell from his horse. According to legend, Cressingham’s skin was used to make a sheath for Wallace’s sword. The Lanercost Chronicle records that Wallace had "a broad strip [of Cressingham's skin] ... taken from the head to the heel, to make therewith a baldrick for his sword".

On August 23, 1305, Wallace was indicted and condemned to death. There was no trial because he was declared a traitor to the king; Wallace emphatically denied this charge, as he had never sworn allegiance to Edward. That same day he was hanged, disemboweled, and finally beheaded and quartered at Smithfield. Wallace's head was dipped in tar and placed on a spike atop London Bridge and his limbs exposed at Newcastle, Berwick, Stirling, and Perth.

ДЕНЬ В ИСТОРИИ:

11 сентября 1297 года Шотландцы под командованием Уильяма Уоллеса побеждают англичан на Стерлингском мосту

Битва состоялась на реке Форт. Трудно точно определить, сколько человек сражалось с обеих сторон, но вполне вероятно, что английская армия по численности превосходила шотландцев.

Английская конница была атакована шотландской пехотой на переправе через узкий деревянный мост, который под непреодолимой тяжестью рухнул. Разгром довершила атака легкой шотландской конницы под предводительством Эндрю де Морея, которая переправилась через реку вброд. Эндрю де Морей был тяжело ранен и скончался через несколько дней.

Англичане потерпели полное поражение. Погиб и выдающийся рыцарь, английский наместник и казначей короля Эдварда, сэр Хью Крессингем. Его зарубили в начале боя, когда он упал с лошади. По легенде, шотландцы содрали с него кожу, из которой были сделаны ножны для меча Уоллеса. В "Хронике Ланеркоста" есть запись, что у Уоллеса была «широкая полоса [кожи Крессингема]... отрезанная от головы до пяток, чтобы сделать из нее перевязь для его меча».

23 августа 1305 года Уоллес был осужден как предатель короля, хотя, как он утверждал, никогда не присягал на верность Эдварду. Его повесили, выпотрошили, обезглавили и четвертовали. Голову Уоллеса обмакнули в смолу и, насадив на пику, поместили на Большом Лондонском мосту. Конечности были выставлены в крупнейших городах Шотландии - Ньюкасле, Бервике, Стерлинге и Перте.

A great image of the William Wallace statue sculpted by William Grant Stevenson in the late 1800's. Wikipedia says, The William Wallace Statue was erected 1888 in Aberdeen, Scotland, and depicts Sir William Wallace. Sculpted by William Grant Stevenson, the statue is positioned opposite His Majesty's Theatre and across from Union Terrace Gardens. "It was paid for with funds left for the purpose by John Steill of 38 Grange Road in Edinburgh, the son of James Steill sometime of Easter Baldowrie in Angus." It is a category B listed building. The statue bears this inscription: I tell you a truth, liberty is the best of all things, my son, never live under any slavish bond. #creativeaberdeen #aberdeenculture #art #architecture #music #history #film #design #poetry #fashion #learning #aberdeenartists #creativescotland #granitecity #aberdeen #scotland #moc83 #williamwallace https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj5Fsmuqq0W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Repost @historylatam (@get_repost) ・・・ #HoyEnLaHistoria En el año 1305, William Wallace, mítico caudillo rebelde escocés, era ejecutado en Londres. ⠀ Sobre su vida, numerosos historiadores han escrito diversas versiones. Habría nacido entre 1270 y 1272, hijo de un humilde propietario de Renfrewshire. Asistió al colegio de Dundee, en donde se dice que apuñaló al hijo del gobernador, tras ser insultado. ⠀ Tras ocultarse algunos años en los bosques, encabezó la reacción nacional contra los planes de conquista de Eduardo I de Inglaterra. En mayo de 1297, condujo un ataque contra realistas en Lanark, y posteriormente viajó al norte para unir fuerzas con Andrew Moray. ⠀ Al frente de una partida de insurrectos enfrentó al Conde de Surrey y lo derrotó en Stirling, el 17 de junio de 1297. Posteriormente, asoló las poblaciones de Inglaterra hasta York. De regreso a Escocia, se le otorgó el título de Guardián del Reino. ⠀ No obstante, sin el apoyo de la nobleza de su país, Wallace y sus hombres fueron derrotados por los ingleses en el combate en Falkirk, en julio de 1298. En los años siguientes nada se supo de él. ⠀ En 1304 quedó expresamente fuera de la ley por negarse a comparecer ante un congreso celebrado en Saint Andrews por nobles ingleses y escoceses. Finalmente fue hallado y posteriormente juzgado por alta traición, cargo que impugnó con la frase: “jamás juré lealtad al rey de Inglaterra”. ⠀ Fue ejecutado públicamente en la plaza de Smithfield el 23 de agosto de 1305, colgado en la horca y descuartizado en el potro. Su cabeza quedó expuesta en el puente de Londres y sus brazos y piernas fueron enviados a cuatro poblaciones diferentes. #WilliamWallace #Escocia #Londres #Rebelion #Independencia #Soldado #Europa #Historia https://www.instagram.com/p/CEPOzObl6BOE5OhiTZhOsy8VZ5M6X04QFh8no40/?igshid=1ku88gby1iczi
