![Sir William Wallace (Medieval Gaelic: Uilliam Uallas; modern
Scottish Gaelic: Uilleam Uallas; Norman French: William le
Waleys;[1] died 23 August 1305) was a Scottish landowner who
became one of the main leaders during the Wars of Scottish
Independence.[2]
Along with Andrew Moray, Wallace defeated an English army at
the Battle of Stirling Bridge in September 1297, and was
appointed Guardian of Scotland, serving until his defeat at the
Battle of Falkirk in July 1298. In August 1305 Wallace was
captured in Robroyston near Glasgow and handed over to King
Edward I of England, who had him hanged, drawn, and
quartered for high treason and crimes against English civilians.
Since his death, Wallace has obtained an iconic status far
beyond his homeland. He is the protagonist of the 15th-century
epic poem The Wallace, by Blind Harry. Wallace is also the
subject of literary works by Sir Walter Scott and Jane Porter and
of the 1995 Academy Award-winning film Braveheart.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/webquest-mithslegends-140206134018-phpapp02/75/Webquest-Miths-Legends-English-game-11-2048.jpg)
