By no means prepared by birth, education or training for
leadership, Wallace nevertheless rose to prominence during the Wars
of Independence, leading forces which broke the sequence of English
victories and re-energising and inspiring his countrymen in the
process. While others, ostensibly his betters, yielded and
collaborated, Wallace set an example of constancy and perseverance
and became the Guardian of Scotland. Even his terrible death in
London in 1305 can be seen as a victory as it provided inspiration
for the continuance of the struggle against English domination.
Despite Wallace's almost mythical status - boosted in no small part
by the film Braveheart - present-day perceptions of him are no
always based on the objective analysis of the historical facts. In
this revised and expanded biography, Andrew Fisher investigates all
the aspects of Wallace's life and character, treating him as a man
of his time. The result is a more authentic picture of the greatest
of Scotland's heroes than has been previously available.
