The assassination of Scotland's King Alexander III in 1286 fore- shadowed subsequent troubles with the English. When Edward I of England failed to place his granddaughter on the Scottish throne, a gap emerged in the royal succession, giving the Scots an opportunity to establish one of their own at the head of government. Leading this movement was William Wallace (ca. 1270-1305), a fateful and revered figure in Scottish history. This brief study, a dramatic account of Scotland's greatest patriot, recalls Wallace's legendary life-from his youth and early adulthood when he spearheaded guerrilla warfare against the English, to his designation as "Guardian of Scotland" and his ultimate betrayal and execution. A vivid record of a leader with a powerful hold on the imagination of his people, this important book will be welcomed by students of history and admirers of the Scottish patriot.
