[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 8212683, member: 101855"]No, actually his father, Edward I, was "the heavy" in the Braveheart movie. If Edward II had been heading the army that opposed William Wallace, Wallace might have won. Edward II was not much of a military leader. A lot of people think the William II, who was William the Conqueror's son was gay. There were stories of young men "mincing around in his court in various states of undress." He was also one of the few kings who never married. Unlike Edward II, he was a strong warrior, which is one of the reasons why his father picked him to succeed him. William II, a.k.a. "Rufus," died in a "hunting accident" that was probably arranged by his brother, Henry I. His pennies are usually horrible. These two are quite nice.
