@@xyPERSON Well that's debatable. Regardless of his anti-Semitisn, Mel Gibson's acting skills leave a lot to be desired.....in Braveheart or any other of his films. It was McGoohan's amazing performance that impressed both movie goers and film critics, alike.
Interesting fact about Edward Longshanks is that he is one of the few medieval kings who was faithful to his wife, Eleanor. They were married when he was 15 (and she was 13) for 36 years, had 15 children and he never fooled around at all. Upon her death he erected several Eleanor Crosses across England. :D
@April April exactly... I think they can only say "He didn't openly fool around on her" who knows what really happened. For any man (especially rich and powerful) he could have cheated as many times as he wanted. Dudes who are rich, powerful or just smart.... can pretty much cheat whenever they want and never be found out
I like the way he picks the head out of the basket, totallycalm and naturally!As being a veteran of Crusades, Civil War and ConquestsIm sure hes seen his fair share of severed heads!
He was hardened by years of war, reclaiming territory his father lost, expanding his kingdom through conquest, and fighting in the middle east. There probably wasn't much that could rattle him.
I know I shouldn't but I like to picture myself sometimes as being like his portrayal of Edward I in a threatening street situation. That and/or Richard Burton's Smith in Where Eagles Dare.
Plus he defected to royalist forces and they butchered his uncle in a frenzy (his body was cut open, legs severed etc), so it is likely he saw this sort of this before.
I love how the soldiers run up instinctively after he’s thrown out the window like “WTF!” Then they look up and see the king peering down at them and instinctively are like “Fuck that! Leave his body there and go back to your posts!” Soooooo funny!!
I think it's fairly obvious Edward the 1st and aspects of his life (The barons rebellion under Simon de Montfort) are clear inspirations for Tywins character
He's described as short tempered and quick to violence, combines with a good physiqe, and exceptionally tall. As for being mean to his son, that remains unknown.
Farhan Mckinnons he could be mean and had a great temper-yet he was kind aswell-if you read up the story about him and his queen-Eleanor of Castile-it really sheds more light on him
I watched this for the first time when I was 15. I had never been so intimidated by a characters presence in the way I was by Longshanks in this movie. Patrick McGoohan's screen presence and talent was off the charts
Some guy actually died of terror in a meeting with Longshanks. True story. but Longshanks never threw Piers Gavens out of a window and Piers Gavens died of old age.
In practice, the man murdered actually lived for years afterwards. Edward II is notorious as a gay man or at least bisexual whose incompetence and misrule resulted in civil wars and his loss of his crown then his life. The queen did take over...for a time before their son took over from her.
@@james_ford86 I am not a legal expert for the unwritten variant of the British constitution of the time, but if your wife organizes an armed effort to depose you and it succeeds, and you lose all power such that you are killed then at best this is semantics. Maybe they still called him king but in practice he was a prisoner.
The word Defenestration has two meanings: 1. To throw someone out a window. 2. To dismiss someone from an undeserved position of authority. King Edward Longshanks here is demonstrating both meanings in one succinct action. That's a quote!
Edward I was actually not a despised king; he was largely respected by his people. The Scots, of course, were not exactly in love with him. And his son was not a craven, posturing coward as depicted; he was very popular ... at least at first. Should be noted that Isabella and Edward were married when she was 12 and he 16. She bore him several children and supported him until he made it impossible for her to do so. There is no direct evidence from the time that Edward II was gay, and there no no suspicion at the time (and in fact until the 20th century) that any of Isabella's children were illegitimate.
He lost the war to Robert Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn. The rumours of him having a homosexual relationship comes from him having a close friendship with Piers Gaveston. Gaveston was despised in the royal court. But the king pretty much ignored his wife in favour of Gaveston until Gaveston was murdered. Then Queen after she could take no more started an affair with Roger Mortimer and orchestrated Edward II’s downfall. Edward II is not well remembered. That’s where the rumour of how he was killed came from. He was either murdered with a hot pike rammed up his bottom (popular belief) or he was smothered to death. And you’re wrong he is hated, hence the rumoured death and the manner in which he conducted himself during his reign.
Patrick Mcgoohan, one of the most underrated actors of the previous century, had to settle for crap TV and Disney roles for quite awhile. He outdid everyone on Braveheart. Salute.
"Whom shall I send? Not I! If fall into the hands of that murderer it might be my head in a basket. And not my..gentle son! The mere sight of him would encourage an invasion of the entire country. Whom shall I send? Whom shall I send?"
I have a story about the man who plays Longshanks. My Dad and his mate were walking home in York and they saw that Patrick McGoohan (Longshanks) was in a play at the theatre. My Dads mate keyed McGoohans car (fuck knows why) but McGoohan was coming out the theatre and caught my Dads mate doing it and beat the piss out of him, I mean absolutely annihilated him, put him in hospital and everything.
@@stijnvanmanshoven4591 in real lide some english knights killed some welsh, Ed had to stop that madness and even punish the drink knights. This could be a way to explain what happened
Such an amazing performance - one of my all-time favorites. Tywin Lannister actually reminds me quite a bit of Longshanks...no surprise he's my favorite character in GOT.
He was so versatile as an actor, he managed to play 4 different killers during the run of Columbo. And I think the show you might be thinking of was "Danger Man" rather than "Secret Agent"
Such a great movie, Patrick McGoohan who played Longshanks really added to the movie such a great actor. He was also great in A Time to Kill as the judge. Legendary actor.
It's so sad he's gone. But at least he left behind memorable films like this. I love every scene he was in and love how he says his lines. "Scottish rebels have rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrouted one of my garrisons and killed the noble lord". None can say that like him!
In the history of film! But in reality…..a man of his time! Edward was ruthless and temperamental but also a man of action, especially in his younger years! This film while being a great movie for the excellent and bloody battle scenes was historically so flawed that nothing can be taken seriously, it’s interpretation is even incorrect from the 15th century poem is was inspired from by Blind Harry “the acts and deeds of Sir Willian Wallace, knight of Elderslie”
Smacking his son around at sixty-something years of age--that's a feat right there. I mean yeah, his son was a fanny bandit but you should be able to at least give dear old dad a challenge.
Dad could have him killed with the clicking of his fingers. He assaults the king, it's a crime. Hardly fair is it. That's why the father was a bully and like most bullies a little cowardly and insecure.
@@GoodFebruarian Nah, if any of the two were the bottom, it would have been Edward II, at least based on how they are depicted in this film. Anyone who's ever been around enough feminine gay men can tell that Patrick was the more masculine of the two, and therefor, most likely the top.
Love to be a fly on the wall listening to England's Plantagenet kings addressing their borons and court way back when, they would make Mcgoohans Longshanks portrayal look like a lemonade seller.
One of the most interesting moments of the movie with the participation of Edward the First is out of there. When the King is asked about the time - that it would take a lot of time to send the envoys into France, the question by the way was asked by King's son - Edward the II - he asnwers him that he had sent the envoys to France for negotiations against William before he sent Isabella to meet William. I think this is one of the most remarkable moments of the movie - the episode with McGuigan's character
The trouble wae Scotland is it's full of Scots 😂😂 I laughed so much et that when I first watched Braveheart. I was only 17 years of age at time. Sad thing is at school we never learned about The Bruce, William Wallace or James Douglas in history class but learned plenty English history and only really learned about Scots history after we joined union with England 🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧 Greetings from a wee toon in East Ayrshire Scotland. I love that I share same surname as William Wallace but Wallace is a very common name in Scotland. 👍
+chriswb7 "Skilled in the arts of war" doesn't mean he's fit for High Councillor. Phillip more than likely read every available book on military tactics by the Romans and Greeks. But how much time on the battlefield in the thick of the fight has he had?
Although my race was abused and slaughtered by Longshanks - the way he is portrayed by Patrick McGoohan evokes a grudging admiration. Especially in the direct action with his son's lover!
Longshanks:” Who is this person who speaks to me as though I needed his advice?” Prince Edward: “Phillip is from HR and is here to advise us on leadership and employee engagement” Phillip:” Aaaaaaargh”
The look on Longshanks face at the beginning 😂 Later... Phillip: YOUR OWN NEPHEW. WHAT BEAST COULD DO SUCH A THING... Longshanks: ...Oh I've been waiting for this moment. You...are skilled in the arts of war and military tactics you say?!
Longshanks is the best part of the movie. Although I doubt he was so stuffy in his demeanor in real life since the guy was, in his youth, an ex-crusader, athletic, jousting champion, had a badass wife with whom he had a passionate love relationship (a rarity in arranged marriages of the time) AND was a keen user of trebuchets (during the siege of Stirling castle he refused to accept tbe castle's surrender before he could observe the great trebuchet, the Warwolf, that his army painstakingly assembled and set up, in action)...
3:21 Guards sees a guy thrown out the window to his death, sees that the King is responsible, and they're all like "jolly good throw, sire", and proceeds to return to their posts
Long shanks, "Arrrre you? Tell me, what advice would you give on the ahhh, present situaaaTION?!!" Phillip, "AHHHH?-EEEEEAHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh!" SPLAT! Men down below look up towards the window. "Ello Mi'lord. Good toss! Will anyone else been coming down today?" Longshanks, "I cannot say for sure. The day is still early."
You gotta admit that Longshanks is a MAN and he knows what he's doing. His own son tried to kill him with a knife and he just bitchslapped him. Wallace was beating the English until Longshanks got more involved. Basically Tywin Lannister.
"I am skilled in the art of gay attitude and stupid comments that will get me to fly through a window tactics sire"

When the King is asked about the time - that it would take a lot of time to send the envoys into France, the question by the way was asked by King's son - Edward the II - he asnwers him that he had sent the envoys to France for negotiations against William before he sent Isabella to meet William. I think this is one of the most remarkable moments of the movie - the episode with McGuigan's character
Longshanks was a think tank kind of guy, cold and calculating.
WHAT an actor he was.... outSTANDING in this role
One of the best parenting scenes in history! Now that's how you love your son!
Yeah, pulling your nephew's severed head out in front of your weak son will make him love you more. Great father skill.
@@joethekinghawk7514 indeed. Great example of a father. Can't have our sons biting pillows and playing for pink team.
@@H0DLTHED0R you are so right.
Good God! Patrick McGoohan was an incredible actor. May he rest in peace.
thank you, the character and the actor, Patrick McGoohan, made the movie! Cheers
Best. Villain. Ever. Move over, Vader.
Guards outside the window:
"Did you see that?"
"Yes, he was flying low, we'll have rain!"
Even after 25 years he still instills fear in me
He was evil
"Who is this person who speaks to me as though I needed his advice?"
Patrick makes this entire film. Without him and his performance Braveheart would have been so much less. Such great acting!
Longshanks in Bogart film noir voice: "You'll take a slapping and like it!"
The trouble wae Scotland is it's full of Scots 😂😂 I laughed so much et that when I first watched Braveheart. I was only 17 years of age at time. Sad thing is at school we never learned about The Bruce, William Wallace or James Douglas in history class but learned plenty English history and only really learned about Scots history after we joined union with England 🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧 Greetings from a wee toon in East Ayrshire Scotland. I love that I share same surname as William Wallace but Wallace is a very common name in Scotland. 👍
An evil sod is Longshanks! " What's news of the North?" cracks me up every time!
This guy was the best and most convincing actor of a medieval character in the whole movie.
Well - getting declared High Councillor certainly didn't go Phillip's way did it?
+chriswb7 It was a very temporary assignment.
+chriswb7 "Skilled in the arts of war" doesn't mean he's fit for High Councillor. Phillip more than likely read every available book on military tactics by the Romans and Greeks. But how much time on the battlefield in the thick of the fight has he had?
tenhirankei I think Longshanks hated the fact that he was boning his son more than his lack of military experience.
Perhaps "Bottom" Councillor" would have been more fitting?
The office was too high for Phillip, so the king demoted him. He couldn't handle it.
So hilariously over the top. Easily the best character in the film.
Him or Stephen
Camp and highly menacing.
You can see why McGooghan was the most highly paid British TV actor in the 60s.
Longshanks has that back fist 🤜 down to an art form!!!
Although my race was abused and slaughtered by Longshanks - the way he is portrayed by Patrick McGoohan evokes a grudging admiration. Especially in the direct action with his son's lover!
English and Scottish are of the same race.
+Virgil Grissom so are all humans...
+Virgil Grissom wrong, the Scottish are of the Gaelic race (like the Irish) while the English are a Germanic race.
Jonathan Po Gothics and Gaels are ethnolinguistic groups, not a race.
how dare you....
"I'm skilled in the arsometry and back door negotiations".
Patrick McGoohan so deserved an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this performance...
"won't we hit our own troops"
yes.
SAVAGE
They cut off the best part.
Yes, and we will hit there's as well".
Longshanks:” Who is this person who speaks to me as though I needed his advice?”
Prince Edward: “Phillip is from HR and is here to advise us on leadership and employee engagement”
Phillip:” Aaaaaaargh”
Amazing that the boy had the nerve to pull his dagger. Even more amazing that Longshanks didn't toss him out of the window, too.
The look on Longshanks face at the beginning 😂
Later...
Phillip: YOUR OWN NEPHEW. WHAT BEAST COULD DO SUCH A THING...
Longshanks: ...Oh I've been waiting for this moment. You...are skilled in the arts of war and military tactics you say?!
"and when he says: IS IT"
That sends shivers down my spine too! :D
...acting at it's best.
0:30 "A pity we're on the first floor."
Mcgoohan's performance is what made Braveheart a great film - what a bastard Longshanks was!!!
Nahh
@@jacobdjjsjj2418 Yeeeeeah!
Longshanks was fucking hilarious.
Longshanks is the best part of the movie. Although I doubt he was so stuffy in his demeanor in real life since the guy was, in his youth, an ex-crusader, athletic, jousting champion, had a badass wife with whom he had a passionate love relationship (a rarity in arranged marriages of the time) AND was a keen user of trebuchets (during the siege of Stirling castle he refused to accept tbe castle's surrender before he could observe the great trebuchet, the Warwolf, that his army painstakingly assembled and set up, in action)...
The reaction of the guards on the ground is perfect. Nothing to see here.
3:21 Guards sees a guy thrown out the window to his death, sees that the King is responsible, and they're all like "jolly good throw, sire", and proceeds to return to their posts
Long shanks, "Arrrre you? Tell me, what advice would you give on the ahhh, present situaaaTION?!!"
Phillip, "AHHHH?-EEEEEAHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh!" SPLAT!
Men down below look up towards the window.
"Ello Mi'lord. Good toss! Will anyone else been coming down today?"
Longshanks, "I cannot say for sure. The day is still early."
You gotta admit that Longshanks is a MAN and he knows what he's doing. His own son tried to kill him with a knife and he just bitchslapped him. Wallace was beating the English until Longshanks got more involved. Basically Tywin Lannister.
Wrong. He was beating English until his own betrayed him. Not until the Longshanks got involved.
With armor he stoods in his army on battlefield. Very nice medieval king
3:48
-quite the lovely gathering...you shall agree?
-(knight positively shakes his head)
favorite moment.
that is the traitor Robert the Bruce, who was playing both sides. (in the movie that is)
@@LadyFairChildVideo
different helmets and armor colors.
I don't really care, though.
The world could use Edward today.
😂😂😂 he made him fly ,with out wings
“What news of the North?” When Dad comes home and his son has to explain how he wrecked the car.
"I WILL STAND UP TO HIM AND MORE!"................01:54 H'es nearly shitting his pants lmao
Longshanks is somehow admirable in many ways
Definitely one of the best screen villains in the history of cinema. 👏🏼
Respect for shoving his "High Counsellor" oot the fuckin' Windae!
One of the most outstanding cinematic performances has been demonstrated in a movie. 10/10
"Who is this person who speaks to me as if I needed their advice" lol
