The History Behind the William Wallace Sword!

Just a quick overview of the history of this somewhat mysterious sword (grisly details included!). Long housed as a relic in the Wallace Monument, it has been the center of debate and confusion for decades. This is really just some basics about it, and I encourage you to have go at researching the sword for yourself! (Wikipedia is actually a really good start)
Sorry, I won't be complaining about that back scabbard...

Matt Easton (an actual expert) over at @scholagladiatoria has a good video on this sword as well (accompanied by his lovely Zweihander!) : th-cam.com/video/DCYUdhZKDws/w-d-xo.html

various historical figures were mythologised and legendised since their descriptions were often written ages afterwards

True - William Wallace is a great example of this!
