A slim, illustrated volume on the two key battles of William Wallace, the legendary Scottish rebel.
The death of the last of the Scottish royal house of Canmore in 1290 triggered a succession crisis. Attempts to undermine Scottish independence by King Edward I of England sparked open rebellion culminating in an English defeat at the hands of William Wallace at Stirling Bridge in 1297. Edward gathered an army, marched north and at Falkirk on 22 July 1298 he brought Wallace's army to battle. Amid accusations of treachery, Wallace's spearmen were slaughtered by Edward's longbowmen, then charged by the English cavalry and almost annihilated.
Complete with illustrations, including bird's eye view maps of each battle, Peter Armstrong details the events up until Wallace was captured and executed in 1305, and demonstrates that the flame of rebellion he had ignited could not be extinguished.
