Cut my heart out and parade it before my enemies

The Scottish were badass. Especially Robert the Bruce.
On his deathbed in 1329, Robert the Bruce asked that his heart should be carried into battle against the "Infidels" because he himself had not been able to go on a Crusade. (Removing internal organs after death was a common practice in those days). Bruce's body was buried in Dunfermline Abbey and when it was exhumed in 1818 it was found that his ribs had been sawn through, indicating that his heart had indeed been taken from his body.

I have since rewritten my will to state that I want my heart cut out of my chest, dipped in gold, and carried before the armies that strike at my enemies.
Why don't people do this anymore?!

You mean William The Bastard.
That holy relic should surely help me smite down my enemies in Rock Band.
you can pick basically any historical figure and odds are you are a descendant of that person
would've succeeded too if wasn't for those meddling spies
no he didn't
they
uhhhh
they never really came anywhere near close
my ancestors were expelled from so many countries for livestock thieving. I'm so proud
Hey maybe we're related
or our ancestors worked together
or stole from each other
they were about to march to london. london had nothing but a skeleton army. but their "intel" said that the entirety of the english force was at london. by the time the scots would've arrived at london, then their french allies would've arrived as well. instead they all went home and got routed and utterly defeated on the way back. it might've been a scot/french victory but its still close enough
wait when was this
i sort of assumed you were talking about william wallace :oops:
still, the fact is that the english are considerably more better than the scots
hatred for england apparently is enough to change history
Isn't Genghis Khan supposedly responsible for like 15% of asian men today? Something about him being the most prolific dude that ever boned the ladies.
