Where did William Wallace come from when he exploded onto the scene in 1296?How could he be so knowledgeable, so confident, so inventive?When did he meet Andrew Moray, his co-leader at the Battle of Stirling Bridge?Why is his family seal a bow with a lion rampant on the reverse side? And who were his parents?Where did he disappear to for almost five years?And why was he taken to a merchant's house before his execution?These questions, and more, are explained in a full account of his short time in the limelight.William Wallace wakes up after an assassination attempt to find his life has changed completely. At first not sure where he is, he eventually realises it's the when that is important.An Ex-SAS soldier who had turned his back on conflict, he finds himself in the middle of perhaps the bloodiest period in his country's history. With no-one willing to take the lead, his instincts thrust him to the forefront of a war he has to wage without the technology he has relied on, forcing him to develop new ways to wage war.The 20th century boy trying to live a quiet life has to battle to save his country from the ruthless ambition of the English King. In the process he finds himself the most powerful man in the kingdom and comes within sight of achieving the seemingly impossible.But politics is fickle, a single act of betrayal brings William's rise to a halt and he finds himself almost friendless.Knowing he cannot again face the might of his nemesis, William leaves to drum up foreign support only to find himself once again battling, indirectly his old adversary.When William returns home he finds himself outlawed and after the final betrayal is offered a lifeline from an unexpected source.
