    I climbed the Wallace Monument in 2018. The staircase is narrow and winding; 246 steps from bottom to top. Fortunately, there are two anterooms off the staircase where one could catch their breath, and in one there was a rusted claymore that may have been Wallace’s sword. There was also a photo, to scale, of the sword standing on its point. My wife stood next to the photo of the sword and it was longer than she is tall; over 5 feet. Wallace must indeed have been a big man to handle a claymore that size. Darlington, South Carolina USA

      @scottw.3258 Год назад

      When i was younger, Wallace was right up there with Bruce in my eyes. Ironically, that all began to unravel after the release of 'Braveheart'. I detest that film due to it's complete inaccuracy. I had known enough about Wallace growing up to know the film was insulting, but having a fascination with history since i was around the age of 4, i took the opportunity to research Wallace as much as i could.
      Once the internet became common place, i have found out more, and more about the Man, and pieced together information from various sources, coming to the conclusion that Wallace was nothing more than a thorn in Longshanks arse. He was a pest, a nuisance, and nothing more. He had very little skill as a military Man. Looking at Braveheart, i believe memory serves me when i say Longshanks uttered a line along the lines of 'Wallace is a scrapper' (it may not have been Longshanks, but someone in that film uttered a line with that general meaning), and ironically, that was one of the very few things Braveheart got right, albeit accidentally. Wallace was just a scrapper.
      As was mentioned in this video, the military mastermind behind the victory at Stirling Brig, was Andrew de Moray. He was the man who was a seasoned campaigner. He was present at the siege of Berwick in 1296, and was captured at the Battle of Dunbar, and imprisoned at Chester, while his father - Sir Andrew de Moray, was imprisoned in London, where was to see out his days. Andrew the younger, managed to escape from Chester in early 1297 and made his way back north where he led a revolt, taking back castles from English hands.
      It would've been extremely arrogant of Wallace to assume command of the joint forces at Stirling Brig, since he was vastly the more inexperienced of the two Men. It was Moray's tactics which won the day, and we sadly, will never know how differently things may have turned out, had he not succumbed to the injuries sustained at Stirling.
      Wallace is only remembered due to his execution. Longshanks just wanted him out the way, but Wallace kept popping up to irritate him, like that person we all know who doesn't know when to drop a joke, eventually, he had to be killed and so Longshanks had him done away with.
      So, yes. Wallace wasn't a great Man in my eyes, he was certainly no great military leader, he was a scrapper, an angry Man with no strategy other than to cause disruption. The Man who deserves to be lauded and remembered, is Andrew de Moray. He was the leader. He was the Man who could have made a real difference.

    Thank you for the history and the life story of Sir William Wallace he has been my hero since I was a wee girl of 12 years old, I loved just 10 miles from where he was born and raised, I first got to know about him through a wonderful History teacher who went against the School curriculum at the time where Scottish schools concentrated on English history being taught I still remember the dates of English battles and victories but my Teacher varied the History lessons and taught us about William Wallace who immediately captured our imagination and in my mind became a legend, he was undoubtably a man of great integrity bravery and the truest patriot Scotland has ever seen, I love to think that his life which he gave for Scotland's freedom is celebrated today some 800 years later, I'm 78 years old now and my love and admiration and my thanks has never wavered in all those years. By the way you said there was uncertainty about
    his description , if his sword which was enormous is an example of his height and strength he was very tall 6ft 3 inches and very broad .

      The point is that the events are so old that sorting truth from fanciful fiction in accounts is very difficult.
      Also the period of Robin Hood predates Wallace by a generation of 2.

      That's correct, although 'Robin Hood' was a common pseudonym for 'outlaws' with unknown name. There are records of 'Robyn Hod', 'Robyn of Hoad' or even 'Robin Hood' in records ranging from the early 13th century to the 15th century.
      The legend we all know today however bears great similarities to what we know of Wallace.
      'Robin Hood' lived in Sherwood Forest, Wallace was known to live out of Ettrick Forest.
      'Robin Hood' was a skilled Archer, Wallace's family seal has an Archer/Hunter and Wallace himself was said to be skilled with a bow.
      'Robin Hood' has a friend in Friar Tuck, Wallace was very close to Bishop Wishart.
      'Robin Hood' had Maid Marian, Wallace is said to have married Marion Braidfoot.
      'Robin Hood' - Little John, Wallace had a friend named John Little.
      'Robin Hood' - Will Scarlet, Wallace is said to have had a noble friend/acquaintance who would wear a Red robe/cloak.
      We have to remember also, that at this time the North of England was in m any ways treated just as poorly by the 'South' as Scotland or Wales was. Taxes were often higher in the northern counties, much of the food grown or raised was sent south to London, so the people of the north were left with very little. This north/south divide which we talk about today was very much in place back then. The people of the northern counties were very much subjugated. A lot of the ill feeling dated back to the time of the Danelaw, the south saw themselves as superior, they'd looked to move on and saw themselves as more civilised that those who were under Norse control. It was classic snobbery.
      Many in the north of England empathised with the Scottish cause as a result of this, so when word of Wallace came about they created their own 'folk hero' in effect comforting themselves, emboldening themselves into believing there was someone out there who was fighting for them.

    You took on a most ambitious project, the reconstruction of William Wallace’s face. From historical references, his appearance needed to have a wildness about it. He probably had long, wild, unkempt hair and an unruly beard. The wildness and ferocity of his character would have also expressed itself through his eyes since, as we know, the eyes are the windows of the soul. That there was also a cheerfulness about him makes sense. To inspire others one must have dynamic optimism and boundless self-confidence - Wallace had to exude a fearless cheerfulness that could uplift the spirits of his men and keep them fired up for battle. I can see these qualities in your reconstruction. There is a fiery intensity in the eyes, as well as a hint of a cheerful sense of humor. I would have liked to have seen a depiction of Wallace’s physique - his body, not just his face, which must have been massive and muscular to be able to do the things he did. That would have been awesome. Nevertheless, I think you did a great job on your artistic interpretation of his face. It’s kind of haunting to see Wallace smiling like you have him doing - that truly brought your recreation to life and made me feel like I had finally met the man behind the legend.
