In this video, we explore the fascinating world of medieval Scotland and take a closer look at some of the key figures who shaped its history - William Wallace, Edward I, and Robert the Bruce. But rather than relying on the often-romanticized portrayals of these historical figures, we delve deeper to uncover what they may have actually looked like. Through careful analysis of contemporary accounts, artwork, and other historical evidence, we piece together a more accurate picture of the physical appearances and characteristics of these iconic figures. Join us on this journey through time as we separate fact from fiction and discover the "real" William Wallace, Edward I, and Robert the Bruce.

we have no remains of William Wallace, only portraits that were made centuries after his death. I'd rather imagine him looking like Mel Gibson lol

I can say that LongShanks, as you depict him here, was very regal looking.

He was not anything as bad as made out in the movie Braveheart.

The only potentially historically accurate depiction here is Robert Bruce whom the plaster cast model is made from his skull by a forensic scientist. The image of Wallace is an 19th century depiction of a man who lived in the 1200s, as is the Longshanks image. So not very ‘real’ with the exception of Bruce. Still another interesting use of AI, however.

Wish the Wallace one would have included his actual height, to get a more clear picture, very cool the Roman/South European N Aftican features of the Bruce with that huge Celtic/Germanic nose lol love your videos!
