William Wallace is a legendary figure in Scottish History. Along with Robert The Bruce, William Wallace stands as a true patriot and martyr for Scottish Independence and the fight against the English invaders of Scotland under King Edward I. Wallace's major triumph over the English army came at Stirling Bridge in 1297. Wallace was betrayed, taken prisoner, tried and executed in London in 1305. After being paraded through the streets of London he barbarously executed by being, hung drawn and quartered he was also beheaded. His head was place on a spike on Tower Bridge and his body parts distributed through the country.Films have been made about Wallace and Bruce but perpetrate the myths about them and fall short of facts. Professor Alexander F. Murison was a Scottish born, Professor of Law, who as a barrister and academic presented the histories of Wallace and Bruce as facts. He was not interested in Hollywood fantasy.This book 'Sir William Wallace' was first published in 1898 but has been edited to included extra notes and a short biograpy of the author, Alexander Falconer Murison. An excellent read for those who prefer fact to fiction.
