In
August 1305, Wallace was captured at Robroyston, near Glasgow, and
handed over to the English who tried him in Westminster Hall on the 23rd
of August 1305 for treason and atrocities against English civilians in
war, "sparing neither age nor sex, monk nor nun." He responded to the
treason charge,
“I cannot be a traitor, for I owe him no allegiance.
He is not my Sovereign; he never received my homage; and whilst life is
in this persecuted body, he never shall receive it.
To the other points whereof I am accused, I freely confess them all.
As Governor of my country I have been an enemy to its enemies; I have slain the English;
I have mortally opposed the English King; I have stormed and taken the towns and castles which he unjustly claimed as his own.
If
I or my soldiers have plundered or done injury to the houses or
ministers of religion, I repent me of my sin; but it is not of Edward of
England I shall ask pardon.”
