Summary:
"The courage and heroism of William
Wallace
during
Scotland
's darkest days were instrumental in creating
Scotland
's sense of national identity. After his first heroic act of defiance - killing William Heselrigg, Sheriff of Lanark - his crowning triumph at Stirling Bridge, to his terrible end,
Wallace
was unswerving in his devotion to the cause of Scottish freedom. This revealing new biography also studies the impact of the man and the myth on later generations. The guerrilla tactics originated by
Wallace
were later used by Robert the Bruce to great success. Blind Harry'
s
15th-century epic poem personifies the will and desire of the Scottish people for independence in the figure of
Wallace
. Over 600 years after his death,
Scotland
's greatest knight continues to inspire nationalists in
Scotland
and throughout the world."--P. [4] of cover.
