William who,loves his father and wants to be like him, wants to come with them but they dont
agree with him. Malcolm and John arrive at the farm building. Everything is quiet. No people, no
horses. They tie the horses. They push open the door. Thirty nobles and thirty boys is died by
Longshanks. Everybody is tied by the neck. They hear a sound behind them and quickly turn.
William stands there, looks on the bodies. After William who, shots his eyes to the terrible picture,
touchs one and realize. Malcolm catchs William and holds him. After that, William who, is so
frigten, doesnt believe that.
Next day, Malcolm and John attack the English with his friends. William stays at home and fights
the English in a game with his friend, Hamish. Night comes. William watchs through a window.
His father and his brother dont return. They return the next morning but Williams father and
brother die. William digs their graves and the neighbours look at the boy. William stands at the
graves. A little girl who with long red hair comes towards him, hands William a flower-the purple
flower of Scotland. Their eyes meet then the girl walks back to her mother.

Williams uncle who lives alone.
That night the boy and his uncle sit together at the table. Williams uncle has no wife or children
but he would like to take the boy home with him. After that William goes to Uncle Argyles house.

Journey of a day from Edinburgh there is a different world. Today is market day. There is music
and dancing. There is good food to eat and beer to drink. English soldiers watch. Market days are
good for English armies because they dont fight. Ten minutes later, a young man rides into the
village. He wears a farmers clothes but he doesnt look like a farmer. Old Campbell looks at him
carefully and Old Campbell knows him. He is William Wallace. Because William takes after his
father. Williams old friend walks up to him. Hamish shakes hands with William. William sees
Murron who is the most beautiful girl in the village maybe, in all of Scotland, with her long red hair.
William starts to speak with Murron. A few days later, William gives a present to her. Murron looks
at the present: a dry flower- the same flower that five-year-old Murron gives William at his fathers
grave.
William doesnt see Murron two weeks. Then there is a wedding in the village. A cousin of Murron
gets married a local boy, Robbie. Everyone come and the music is started. Suddenly there is
noise of horses. An English noble rides towards them at the head of a group of English soldiers.
The villagers go quiet and English noble wants to his wife but Robbie who doesnt want, noble
against make an attack. But English soldiers block him. Then one of soldiers pushs her up onto

his horse behind him and the English soldiers ride away.
William who wants to get married Murron, tells to Murron. Murron accepts to get married with him.
Meanwhile, King of English Longshanks kills Scottish people. One day, they married secretly in
an old, empty church. Murron gives William a white hand kerchief with the flower of Scotland on
it. They pass to spend their wedding night under the stars.
They are both in Lanark one market day. Some English soldiers sit at a table and drink quite near.
They watch Murron, who is now more beautiful than ever, buys some bread. The soldiers arrest
Murron who bits him hard as well and tries to go away. Suddenly William is there and he catchs
the soldiers arm from behind. Murron runs away from English soldier and William runs away the
English soldiers too but Murron doesnt get away from English soldiers and she is arrested by
English soldiers.Unfortunately the English noble kills her. About one hour later, Willam whose wild
eyes look at the face of Murrons murderer comes to village angrily. The battle is short. No one
can stop Wallace and his angry followers. William takes his sword and cuts Hesselrigs throat in
one movement. He looks at Murrons blood on the ground, he looks at the blood of the
Englishman on his sword. He knows he can fight as a rebel from this day until he dies.
William sits near a small fire, thinking. The ground is wet from days of rain but with the trees
above their heads, they are dry enough. Old Campbell mends weapons. A hundred English
horsemen ride in straight lines across open country and search William and his friends. They find
fires still smoking. But they never see them, until one day when they see Hamish and a group of
rebels near some trees. The Scots see the horsemen and run like frightened animals. English
horsemen follow them and tire men across an open field with low hills all around. English
horsemen ride into the field but the ground is so wet and the horsess legs disappear up to their
knees. Suddenly there are Scots everywhere, wave swords above their heads. William Wallace
gives the order to attack. Every Englishman die.
The news of Williams win over the English travel quickly. The rebels hide in an empty farm
building. The farmer is friendly and gives them food and clothes.
William sleeps while Old Campbell and Stephen talk about battles and how to win English.
Hamish comes in. He calls softly that news arrives. William wakes up. and the Scots come down
from the Highlands. Hundreds of them. Therefore King of England sends a great army to Stirling
Castle. Two armies meet on the hill. The Scottish armies have two thousand but English armies
have about twenty thousand. Wallace holds up his hand to speak and the army is silent. William
orders to bring out the spears in front of the line. The English horsemen stand tall and proud; their
horses are in purple and red. No one can beat them. Talmadge orders them to attack. The Scots
stand and wait. The English horses come at them, nearer and nearer. Williams men bring out
their secret weapons and the English horsemen are died by Scots. Suddenly all of the English
armies start to attack and the Scots start to attack too. The battle is violently. Everyones kill other
people. Meanwhile, William sees the Talmadge and he sees him too. They runs eachother after
that, William cuts up the Talmadges head. The Scots win the war. Meanwhile, the king of England
or longshanks is confused because of war.
After the battle of stirling, William Wallace is famous all over Scotland. He goes to Edinburgh. The
people look at him with wide eyes like children. Scottish nobles choose him to be first lord of
Scotland. But a few Scottish people refuse him to be lord. Mean while, Willam onto the door. He
dont want to be a king of Scotland because only Scottish nobles can be a king of Scotland. A fe
wdays later a lot of French armies are come to Edinburgh by Longshanks. William hears them to
coming to Edinburgh. They want to make pact with Scottish people but William and his friends
dont want to make a pact and they refuse the pact so king of England begins war again. Both the
armies meet to battle with each other and the battle starts. The most of people die because the
Scottish nobles dont help their armies and thus, the Scottish armies sustain a defeat because of
Robert the Bruce. William whose, friends father dies, injures.

Willam passes to spend some months in France and Italy asking for help for Scotland from the
king of France and Pope. He returns to Scotland with empty hands: they wouldnt help.
Lord Mornay is a Williams noble who hear the sound of a horse, not outside the castle but inside.
Its impossible but William Wallace rides into his bedroom. Mornay never speak again. William
cuts through his neck with one quick movement.the quards at the door stand with their mouths
open.
The Scottish nobles now want a meeting with Wallace. William knows that they trap him but
William must go to castle of Robert the Bruce so William comes into the castle. He looks into the
eyes of Robert the Bruce. The two men now see the same picture- a free Scotland. William holds
out his hand towards Pobert the Bruce. Suddenly English soldiers comes there. Robert the Bruce
dont know anything of this plan and the English soldiers take him. They ties William up like an
animal. They torture William. First William is hang up by executioners but he doesnt die.
