A superbly illustrated journey through the landscape and events of
the life of the iconic Scottish knight who was brought to life in
the film "Braveheart" For nearly 700 years debate has raged over
the true nature of William Wallace and his role in Scotland's
turbulent history--was he the Braveheart of Blind Harry's legendary
account, the bold, but savage, hero of the Scottish wars, or, as
some contemporary chroniclers attested, was he nothing but a
villainous thief and vagrant fugitive? This book draws on a wide
range of contemporary and modern sources to look behind the figure
of legend to find Wallace's true character. It traces Wallace's
journey from his modest upbringing in south-west Scotland and his
first victory as a "guerilla" leader and military commander at
Stirling Bridge to his painful death seven years later, including
his "invasion" of Northumberland and Cumberland. This is an
essential traveling companion for a journey through Wallace's
kingdom and to learn more about the myth and the man.
