Sir William Wallace

William Wallace was born in January of the year 1272. He was the second of three sons. He was born in the town of Elerslie, which was in Scotland. His father Sir Malcolm Wallace held the title of knight but had no political power. Wallace’s father was involved in a revolt when William was 14 years old. So, he was sent to live with his uncle. His uncle taught William Latin and French and how to be a swordsman. When William’s father returned from the revolt at Turnberry Band William was 17 years old. Fighting between rival families and rival towns were heating up. Civil War was about to break out in Scotland. There were a number of battles and in one of that battles, in the Battle of Loudon Hill, William’s father was involved and killed. William stayed with his mother for two years until he met Muron Braidfoot and married her in 1292.

In the month of May 1297 a group of English soldiers under the command of the English Sheriff of Lanark were ordered to kill Wallace’s wife. So, William started his revolt against England when his wife had been murdered in an attempt to arrest him.

Rebellion forces under William Wallace were scattered all over Scotland but they all gathered together and met a larger, better equipped English army at the Battle of Sterling.

In March of 1298, Wallace was knighted by the Scottish noble man Robert and was appointed guardian of Scotland. He was captured near Glasgow and executed for treason.
