Plot

The English king, Edward I, called a truce. The Scottish nobles came to MacAndrews' farm without weapons. William saw the bodies of thirty Scottish nobles, thirty boys and one farmer. Malcolm and John Wallace went to attack the English. Hamish's father brought the bodies of William's father and brother. A little girl handed William a purple flower. William went to Uncle Argyle's house in Rome. Some years after William returned to Scotland to be a farmer and he married Murron secretly. The English noble killed Murron, so William killed the English and he decided to fight against them.
After the battle of Stirling, William Wallace was famous all over Scotland. He rode into Edinburgh and up to the castle, his friends at his side. The people looked at him with wide eyes like children. The nobles in their fine clothes did not understand how an ordinary man could win a great battle like that, when the Bruces and Balliols could not. Robert the Bruce was now out of prision and he stood among the other nobles as William walked into the castle. He could see at once that this Wallace would never serve any other man. A man began to read: "In the name of God, Sir William Wallace, we make you First Lord of Scotland!"...
