William Wallace (Braveheart) is said to have owned an English Springer Spaniel named “Merlin MacDonald” who rode into battle with Wallace. The dog is credited with helping him defeat the English at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297, this according to the book “An Ancient History of Dogs: Spaniels Through the Ages.”
