'CSA':

For 'historical' background, follow up Steve Gardham's comments earlier in this discussion, and see Child's notes as already recommended. None of the songs mentioned here are about real historical events, except for the verses quoted by 'Shropshire Kim' which, though a bit similar in the 'nonsense' phrases, come from an otherwise completely unrelated song.

As for any connection with William Wallace (!): not a chance.
