William Wallace, a key figure in Scottish history, is best known for his role in the Wars of Scottish Independence. Born around 1270, Wallace was a minor nobleman with a fierce dedication to his country's freedom from English rule. His early life is shrouded in mystery, but he emerged as a national leader after King Edward I of England invaded Scotland in 1296, deposing King John Balliol and asserting English control.
Wallace first gained attention in May 1297 when he killed William Heselrig, the English High Sheriff of Lanark, in a skirmish that escalated into a widespread rebellion. He then joined forces with Sir William Douglas and Andrew Moray, uniting various Scottish factions under the common cause of expelling the English.
