Memorial to Sir William Wallace - King Edward I

In 1305 William Wallace (Braveheart - Hollywood film) was executed for high treason (London) under the order of King Edward I, and there is a plaque on the outer wall at the side of St Bartholomew’s Hospital, close to Smithfield’s market - which is close to the site where he was hanged, drawn and quartered. On the plaque is a Latin inscription, which translates “never live like a slave.”
