scot history

 i heard an expression "get off scot free" why scot?

this matches a problem when the stronger one changes history. some say the winner writes history but after that the stronger one writes history even against the winner.

in year 1314 scot free, history. based on "historic battle falkirk" but strong brits later wont admit the "true" story of york n falkirk. the stronger gets to write history when winner weak. reading the officil history is aproblem considering the scots won and were free in 1314  so the story does not match. only when we see the fiction braveheart preserving a legend that does match the fact that scots were free we realize that sometimes history books are written by the stronger.
