"William Wallace was lodged as a prisoner on his first arrival in London in the house of William de Leyre, a citizen, in the parish of All Hallows Staining, at the end of Fenchurch Street." {510} Mr. Cunningham, in his notice of the Tower, mentions Wallace first among the eminent persons who have been confined there. The popular accounts of the Tower do the like. It was about the Feast of the Assumption (Aug. 15) that Wallace was taken and conducted to London; and it seems clear that he was forthwith imprisoned in the citizen's house: "He was lodged," says Stow, "in the house of William Delect, a citizen of London, in Fenchurch Street. On the morrow, being the eve of St. Bartholomew (23rd Aug.), he was brought on horseback to Westminster ... the mayor, sheriffs, and aldermen of London accompanying him; and in the Great Hall at Westminster ... being impeached," &c. The authorities cited are, Adam Merimuth and Thomas de La More. His arraignment and condemnation on the Vigil of St. Bartholomew are also mentioned by Matthew Westminster, p. 451. Neither these historians, or Stow or Holinshed, afford any farther information. The latter chronicler says that Wallace was "condemned, and thereupon hanged" (_Chron._, fol., 1586, vol. ii. p. 313.). He was executed at Smithfield; and it is not improbable that, if, after his condemnation, he was taken to any place of safe custody, he was lodged in Newgate. The following entry of the expenses of the sheriffs attending his execution is on the Chancellor's Roll of 33 Edw. I. in the British Museum: "Et in expen[=s] [=t] misis [=f]cis [crossed p] eos[=d] Vice^{tes} [crossed p] Willo le Walleys Scoto lat^one predone puplico utlagato inimico et rebellione [Rx] qui in contemptu [Rx] [crossed p] Scociam se Regem Scocie falso fec[=a]t n[=o]iare [=t] [=t] ministros [Rx] in [crossed p]t[=i]bus Scocie in[=t]fecit at[crossed q] dux^t excercit[=u] hostili[=t] contr^a Reg[=e] [crossed p] judici[=u] Cu[=r] [Rx] apud West[=m] dist^ahendo suspendendo decollando e[=j] viscera concremando ac e[=j] corpus q^arterando cu[=j] cor[crossed p]is quar[=t]ia ad iiij majores villas Scocie t^asmittebantur hoc anno.... _L_xj s. xd." The day of the trial, August 23, is generally given the date of his execution. It therefore appears that the formidable Scot never was a prisoner in the Tower. The unfortunate Queen Anne Boleyn occupied the royal apartments while she was a prisoner in the Tower. From Speed's narrative, it appears that she continued to occupy them after she was condemned to death. On May 15 (1536) she was (says Stow) "Arraigned in the Tower on a scaffold made for the purpose in the King's Hall; and after her condemnation, she was conveyed to ward again, the Lady Kingston, and the Lady Boloigne her aunt, attending on her." On May 19, the unfortunate queen was led forth to "the green by the White Tower" and beheaded.
