He was the most consistent fighter for Scottish Independence who lived longer than Murray etc. It is also impossible to know who out of Murray and Wallace came up with the tactics for Stirling Bridge, or whose idea it was to open up trade with Germany etc.

Very interesting finds though.

I thought he was just an imaginary character like Robin Hood! Shows you what i know… afterall History isnt really my speciality. Jenny, Joe or Daniel you seem to know about History, would you enlighten me more?

Instead Americans use “Braveheart” the movie as history.
