(In paid partnership with BetterHelp) After the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297, the Scottish rebels took their revenge on Hugh de Cressingham in one of the most brutal acts of the First War of Scottish Independence. As King Edward I’s treasurer in Scotland, Cressingham was despised for his ruthless taxation and oppressive rule. But his downfall came at the hands of William Wallace and Andrew Moray, when the Scots crushed the English forces in a stunning victory. What followed was a gruesome display of vengeance—Cressingham’s body was flayed, and his skin was reportedly turned into gruesome trophies, including a belt for Wallace himself. This chilling act sent a clear message to the English crown: Scotland would not be ruled without a fight. In this video, we uncover the dark tale of Hugh de Cressingham’s demise, the savagery of medieval warfare, and the relentless Scottish resistance against English domination. 🔔 Subscribe for more militaryhistory! 👍 Like & Comment: What do you think of Cressingham’s fate? #History #Scotland #WilliamWallace #BattleOfStirling #BrutalHistory Visit the History Explorer Channel Shop: https://thehistoryexplorer-shop.fourt... ⚠️ Viewer Discretion Advised: This video contains historical footage that may be disturbing to some viewers. ________________________________________ If you want to dress like Chris Craighead (Kenyan Hotel Siege Hero) try these links : https://amzn.to/3VME8Iq - La Sportiva Men's Hiking Shoes https://amzn.to/3VMgw6s - Fjallraven Men's Sarek Trekking Shirt https://amzn.to/3GEt0c1 - Arc'teryx LEAF Assault Balaclava __________________________________________ #tactical #guns #military #history #british #army #soldier #ww2 #germany #usa #history #para #hellletloose #WWII #History #Carentan If you'd like to support this channel and gain access to exclusive content and perks, why not consider becoming a Patreon support?   / the_history_explorer   business: [email protected] TWITTER:   / the_history_ex   ___________________________________________
