Description

Explore the Captivating Life of William Wallace

You might recognize him from Mel Gibson's film Braveheart...

Sir William Wallace (c. 1270 – 1305) was – and is – a Scottish national icon of the highest order. Born as the landless younger son of a minor nobleman (Sir Malcolm Wallace), his startling rise to become a military and historical legend, an exemplary patriot, and a national hero is an embodiment of the underdog narrative that many people identify with in film and real life.

Wallace earned a place in history for his successful efforts in leading the Scottish resistance forces who had been rallying against English rule since Scotland was conquered in 1296.

Some of the topics covered in this book include:

  • Mysterious Origins
  • Coming of Age in Crisis
  • Defiance and Compliance
  • The Prophecy
  • Uprising
  • Love in a Time of War
  • The Battle of Stirling Bridge
  • Invading England
  • The Guardian of Scotland
  • Defeat at Falkirk
  • An Outlaw Once More
  • The Execution
  • And much more!
