On this day
1305- William Wallace was executed at Smithfeild Market.He was drawn and quartered: strangled by hanging but released near death, emasculated, eviscerated, beheaded, then divided into four parts (the four horrors) at the Elms in Smithfield. His head was placed on a pike atop London Bridge, which was later joined by the heads of his brother, John, and Sir Simon Fraser. His limbs were displayed, separately, in Newcastle, Berwick, Stirling, and Aberdeen. -Bet that hurt!
1651- Charles II enters Worcester and starts a battle
1833- Slavery abolished in the British colonies-Until Tony Blair enslaved us all!
