William Wallace

I believe that it is very likely that they are related. My great grandmother was a Wallace. Thinking back in time, at the time of William Wallace, the clan didn't seem to be very large, so why wouldn't we American Wallace's be related, somehow? Thanks!

naw they didnae help him. they were too busy getting drunk!

his wife died because they married in secret and he didn't want to share her with an English man. an English solider spotted them and tried to have sexual rights to her but she got away but got caught again and they slit her throat.

Some of the battles William Wallace fought in were the Battle of Elcho Park, the Battle of Falkirk, and the Action at Earnside. He also fought in the Action at Happrew, the Battle of Loudoun Hill, the Raid of Scone, and the Battle of Stirling Bridge, among others. Wallace was one of the prominent leaders in the Wars of Scottish Independence.

There is no concrete evidence as to his parents' names, but a seal on a letter to Lubeck indicates his father might have been named Alan.

William Wallace was a traditional looking Scottish man. He was only 35 when he was brutally executed, so he looked like the young man he was. According to most portraits of him, he was a slightly overweight man with reddish hair, either curly or grown out into waves. he had a short beard and sometimes a mostache. He wore armour in most of the portraits. The armour was battle apparel and he carried a sword on his right side, what would be your left if you looked at him head on. He had on scarves around his shoulders in most of the pictures too. It could appear to a lot of people to look dirty and rugged.

WALLACE & THE BATTLE OF STIRLING BRIDGE. In September 1297 two Dominican friars went sent to Wallace by the 'Governer of Scotland' the Earl of Surrey (appointed by English King Edward I) to make peace, but this was firmly refused. A Scottish knight in Edward's army volunteered to take some mounted knights across the River Forth at a nearby ford. English knight Hugh De Cressingham urged a simple crossing of the wooden bridge. Surrey agreed. All day the English filed over, forming up on the flat land opposite. Wallace waited until half the English troops were across and upon his signal (a brayed horn) the Scots attacked. A party of Scots attacked from Cambuskenneth Abbey and held the Scottish side of the bridge. Some English reinforcements got across before the bridge collapsed (probably weakened by Wallace's men before the battle, the bridge was only wide enough for 2 or 3 horses abreast.) Meanwhile the Scottish horse, about 200 in number had crossed the ford and harried the English retreat. The English were driven to Berwick. Thousands were killed in the battle. Edward was forced to give up his plan but returned the following year with a much larger army and finally defeated Wallace at The Battle of Falkirk. The Battle of Stirling bridge lasted for about an hour. Surrey could only watch from the far bank of the river, unable to cross, while half his army were being slaughtered by the Scots. Soon after the death of Wallace (he was betrayed by Scottish traitor Sir John De Menteith) in 1305 there emerged the new force of Scotland, Robert the Bruce, but that's another story. In the Mel Gibson movie 'Braveheart' Gibson decided that there would be no Battle of Stirling Bridge but a Battle of Stirling. He thought that a pitched battle would look better, in movie terms, than a 'bridge' battle. Recommended reading - 'The Lion in the North' by John Prebble or any of the many biographies on William Wallace.

Its unclear, the issue is that we don't know his exact date of birth, meaning we don't know exactly how old he was when he died. With few records dating from that time it virtually impossible to find out if he married let alone had children.

He was never the king he fought to be but never was.

William Wallace was not the King of Scotland, he was made Guardian of Scotland. He did NOT fight to be King.

Edward I (Edward the First) did outlive William Wallace. Wallace died in August 1305, Edward died in July 1307 and that is only because Edward had Wallace executed otherwise Wallace would probably have outlived Edward.

Sir William Wallace was beheaded in Smithfield, London, England.

William Wallace is believed to have visited France in 1297, during his campaign against English rule in Scotland. He sought support from the French king, Philip IV, to aid the Scottish resistance. There are historical accounts suggesting that he may have traveled to Rome around the same time to appeal to Pope Boniface VIII for assistance, although specific dates and details of his visits are not well-documented.

Uilliam Uallas (in old Gaelic), or William Wallace (in English)

Comment on above: Do we know to what extent William Wallace, a lowland knight, spoke or would have been addressed in Gaelic? I know that the Wikipedia entry includes it but was his name ever recorded in that form?

Given that in the late C13 Gaelic was still, except to a tiny minority, a non-literate language, is not rendering William Wallace as Uilliam Uallas is a fairly redundant transliteration of an Anglo Norman name which would have been more or less the same in the mouth of a Scots speaker or a Gael?

William Wallace was commonly known as "Braveheart." This nickname has become synonymous with his legacy as a Scottish knight and a leader in the fight for Scotland's independence from English rule in the late 13th century. The term "Braveheart" was popularized by the 1995 film of the same name, which depicted his life and struggles.
