Sir William Wallace (birth unknown, died 1305) was a Scottish knight and one of the main leaders of the Scottish wars of Independence. We don't know very much about him at all until he and Andrew Moray headed up an army again Edward I of England to fight, and win, the Battle of Stirling Bridge, in 1297, despite being vastly outnumbered.
In 1928, Wallace fought another battle, the Battle of Falkirk. This time he lost and the Scots lost many men. Wallace's military reputation was badly damaged.
No-one is really sure what Wallace did after this, but in 1305 a Scottish knight betrayed him to the English king, and he was taken to London and tried for treason. Wallace came to a very gruesome end! I will leave you to find out the details - if you dare!
