Sir William Wallace

Guardian and High Protector of Scotland

Initially William Wallace was educated at home by his mother, then given schooling and religious education by the monks of Paisley Abbey. Though William Wallace could read and write he was probably more interested in activities such as horsemanship, hunting and swordmanship - sparring with his elder brother Sir Malcolm Wallace Jnr. and younger brother John Wallace (later to become one of his trusted comrade-in-arms).

After sporadic violence occured following the deposition of Scottish king, John Deballiol, Wallace and some 30 men burned Lanark and killed its English sherrif. Wallace organised an army of commoners and attacked the English garrisons between the rivers Forth and Tay. Heavily outnumbered Wallace gained an over whelming victory over Edward I English army at Stirling Bridge and the in the following October invaded northern England, sacking Northumberland and Cumberland. Wallace was knighted and proclaimed Guardian of Scotland.

After defeat at the Battle of Falkirk, Wallace reputedly left for France and thereafter acted as a solitary guerilla leader in Scotland and finally captured on August 5 1305, he was taken to London and condemmed as a traitor to the king, even though he had never sworn allegiance to Edward.

Wiliam Wallace remains Scotlands greatest national hero.
