Fidelity itself has four different meanings, each of which involves a reflection of this concept we have been dancing all around: (1) loyalty, (2) sexual faithfulness, (3) factual accuracy, and (3) in the field of electronic engineering, the precision of audio or video reproduction.
Woven together, these various strands—a “cord of three” not easily broken—consistute fidelity, and fidelity in turn is built into the very fabric of fealty, fealty into confidence, confidence into faith.

 Battle of Falkirk & Execution of Wallace, Pt.2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Robert the Bruce, after some resistance, submitted and swore fealty to Edward, perhaps persuaded by his dying father, and certainly by the Guardian's continued allegiance to Toom Tabard (John Balliol).
Wallace was paraded, like a circus animal, through the streets of London, behind its mayor and sheriffs, and on 23 August, 1305, he stood "trial" in Westminster Hall as a traitor, charged with breaking his oath of fealty.
The fact that Wallace had never taken such an oath to Edward or the English, was of no consequence, and the charge was derisory.
