You don't like the Scots, do you, TTT?

Thankfully, the exact date of Owain Glyndŵr's death is unknown, so you can't go out of your way to upset the Welsh too!

just goes to show how long the English have been practising cancel culture.

The site of his execution is marked on the wall of St Bartholomew's hospital in London.

scroll down to the 1547 wood-cut. view of Smithfield ( you know where the fires were) and the monument ( will be) on the right of the picture - wall of St Barts

Tora will be campaigning to have Wallace stripped of his title and the plaque destroyed as a warning to the bolshy, not realising that they'll eventually come for him. :-)

[Peter Pedant]

very Henrician if I can point out ( er without being called rambling)
destroy the plaque and destroy the man

as Henry ordered er 1540s sometime, the destruction of the religious shrines - iconoclast altho that isnt often applied to henry

[Peter Pedant]

well well - the plaque page shows the cut beside barts the great, which can be seen centre woodcut in the 1547 wood cut

( above what looks like a pillar box)

two doors next, was bombed in 1917 ( no really) and the frontage fell off and they stared and said
My god there is a tudor house behind this
( which you can see contemp in the woodcut)

dont blame me, someone mentioned Smithfield

[Hopkirk]

Who's William Wallace?

[naomi24]

Hopkirk, I would like to think you're joking but if not, read my link at 08:14 Wed.

chico: "You don't like the Scots, do you, TTT? " - I don't like loony ABE brigade but overall I am very fond of Scotland and I have many Scottish friends. I don't like what the MAABOF cabal are trying to do to Scotland and by extension the UK.

"Who's William Wallace? " - he played Mel Gibson in the film.
