Wallace

Scottish crofters from Wallace's time, trying to make a living of the land committing not any crime. With God’s grace and will to raise a family keeping it simple, yet nothing was going to be “run of the mill” An English King, a tyrant so ruthless and willing to invade. Reasoning was futile it was impossible to persuade. He rampaged with vast army's, taking away the Scotsman's “freedom” What is a life if you are not free to roam the place you call home. Sir William Wallace made a choice, He stood up to be Scotland's voice. Shining in courage strong for our God given right “our freedom” Wallace became the people’s champion, put upon a pedestal, so he honoured this with his battle skills. With great courage and gifted in the art of war. He defeated the English upon the battle field, with his almighty clamour sword. Through the English army's impetuous foresight. Wallace stood and watched blood soaked as the remaining sasinacks took flight.
