William Wallace 
A presentation by Kris Heckert.
Who was William Wallace?
William Wallace was… 
• You may know him better by the nickname he was given- Braveheart. He was 
a Scotsman and a landowner. 
• He lived from around 1270 to the 23rd of August in 1307. 
• He has served as a fictional character in poems and movies. The most 
notable likely being Mel Gibson’s Braveheart. 
Seen here 
William Wallace was… 
• Although the later part of life is well known and documented, it is his 
childhood which has historians fighting. As his father is unknown with two 
likely candidates. Plus his surname of Wallace , which can translate to 
Welshman, has lead to even more confusion.
What did he do?
This is what Braveheart did 
• Braveheart fought in the Scottish Wars for Independence from England 
which would eventually be the reason of his death. 
• He would serve as a main leader in his time for the Scottish Wars. 
• One of his biggest wins was the Battle of Stirling Bridge.
This is what Braveheart did… 
• Wallace’s first act of supposed treason would have to be his attack in the 
town of Lanark where he had the English sheriff there killed in may of 
1297. Wallace’s action quickly led to more unrest, which would have the 
outcome of the Scottish Rebellion. 
• To quickly explain the initial unrest in Scotland, the people were unhappy as 
King Edward of England took Scotland during a confusion in succession. 
They felt as though the title wasn’t Edward's to take.
Here is an artist’s interpretation of the 
Battle. 

A quick explanation of the Scottish Wars and 
the Battle of Stirling Bride. 
The Scottish Wars for Independence 
-The Scottish wars were a series of 
conflicts which took place during the 
13th and 14th centuries. There were 
two different wars- though both 
ending with the same result as from 
before the war. They are known to be 
important and defining moment’s of 
Scotland’s history because of the 
emergence of new tech like the 
Longbow. 
Battle of Stirling Bridge 
- It happened during the first Scottish 
war for independence and it was 
Wallace and a man named Andrew de 
Moray who fought against the British 
and won. The importance of this 
battle is that it taught the British the 
harsh lesson of how the infantry can 
serve as a good Calvary.
Guardian of Scotland. 
In late 1297 or early 1298, William Wallace was crowned Guardian of 
Scotland in the name of the deposed king of Scotland, John Balliol.
The death of William Wallace 
It was not long after when Wallace was 
captured by the English who accused him of 
treason. Although Wallace claimed he had 
never sworn allegiance to the English King, 
he was sentenced to be Hung, Drawn, and 
quartered. King Edward had his limbs 
spread around Scotland to show what 
happened to those who committed treason.
