This gruesome penalty was first used by King Edward I ('Longshanks') in his efforts to bring all of Great Britain under English rule.
It was first inflicted in 1284 on the Welsh prince Dafyd ap Gruffydd, and on Sir William Wallace a few years later.
Curiously, neither of these 'traitors' had violated an oath of fealty to Edward: Dafyd ap Gruffyd was a monarch and William Wallace was a knight and military leader of sovereign nations before Edward decided to add their realms to his own: they were more accurately described as patriots or even rebels than as traitors.

 Edward I's Welsh Castles
How important a role did Edward I's Welsh Castles play in the period 1297-1413?
n 1282, Wales, under the leadership of Llywelyn (ap Gruffydd), was partly independent of English control and a relatively formidable enemy with Dafyd (Llywelyn's brother) launching raids into the English Marches and entertaining ambitions of nationhood.
