During the wars of independence the sole aggressor was the English crown- no Scottish monarch laid claim to the throne of England. That being the case Wallace had a legitimate right to kill any English officials who administered Scotland hence Heselrig was not murdered but executed as a matter of military necessity. The subsequent acknowledgement of Scottish independence by England was an admission that Scottish freedom fighters were involved in a lawful struggle to defend their country.
