- Synopsis
- Born in 1274, William Wallace, without land or title, began in his teens to raise the hopes of his fellow scotts that with intelligence, unity and bravery they could expel the armies of King Edward I which invaded Scotland taking its wealth, land and freedom. He triumphed in numerous battles, large and small, including the battle of Stirling. Though named the Guardian of Scotland by his devoted countrymen, he never accepted financial reward, land or power. Freedom was his only ideal. He was betrayed for ten shillings and bravely suffered a brutal death at the hands of the English king who feared and hated him. This is a scholarly and fascinating biography of Wallace, a brilliant warrior and admirable hero.
