In the Footsteps of William Wallace In Scotland and Northern England by Alan Young
A superbly illustrated journey through the landscape and events of the life of the iconic Scottish knight who was brought to life in the film Braveheart
For nearly 700 years debate has raged over the true nature of William Wallace and his role in Scotlands turbulent historywas he the Braveheart of Blind Harrys legendary account, the bold, but savage, hero of the Scottish wars, or, as some contemporary chroniclers attested, was he nothing but a villainous thief and vagrant fugitive? This book draws on a wide range of contemporary and modern sources to look behind the figure of legend to find Wallaces true character.
It traces Wallaces journey from his modest upbringing in south-west Scotland and his first victory as a guerilla leader and military commander at Stirling Bridge to his painful death seven years later, including his invasion of Northumberland and Cumberland. This is an essential traveling companion for a journey through Wallaces kingdom and to learn more about the myth and the man.
