 William
Wallace was born in around 1270 in Ayrshire, Scotland. His father,
Sir Malcolm belonged to the Scottish nobility. Around the time of
William's birth King Edward I, whose nickname was Longshanks, came
to the throne of England. By 1286 William had grown into a strong
young man and stood at a height of more than two meters tall. In the
same year, the king of Scotland, Alexander III, died unexpectedly,
leaving no heir to the throne. In the confusion which followed, King
Edward occupied Scotland. The Scottish nobles did little to protect
their people from the cruelty of the occupying forces.
When William was just twenty-one, his father was killed by English
troops. From this point on, it seemed William was determined to fight
for Scottish independence.
In 1292, John de Balliol became the new Scottish king. Edward I approved
of the choice because he thought he could manipulate de Balliol. However,
when de Balliol refused to fight with the English against the French,
Edward declared war against him. He conquered Scotland in 1297 and
put de Balliol in prison.
Meanwhile, William Wallace had been carrying out attacks on English
troops. These attacks were growing stronger and so was support for
Wallace. The death of one of Edward's knights was taken as a personal
insult and he sent an army against Wallace. The two armies met in
front of Stirling
Castle. Even though the Scots were outnumbered, they managed to
win a famous victory. As a reward, William Wallace was given a knighthood
by the Scottish nobles, and became Sir William Wallace.
In 1298 Edward I led an army of 90,000 men against Wallace and defeated
him at Falkirk. Wallace disappeared for several years after this defeat.
It is believed he went to France to get help from King Philip IV.
On August 5th, 1305, Wallace was betrayed by Sir John Montieth, a
Scottish knight, near Glasgow. He was taken to London and tried for
treason. On August 23rd he was cruelly executed. Edward hoped this
would break the spirits of the Scots. It did the opposite. Robert
the Bruce led an uprising almost immediately, which saw Scotland
gain independence and him crowned King Robert I. Wallace finally had
the freedom for which he had lived and died.
