| Summary | “Sir William Wallace” by Alexander Falconer Murison is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the life and legacy of Sir William Wallace, a national hero and freedom fighter in Scotland, detailing his contributions to the fight against English aggression during the Wars of Scottish Independence. The opening of the book establishes a somber historical backdrop, focusing on the political turmoil in Scotland following the death of King Alexander III. It describes the precarious state of the Scottish monarchy and the turmoil that ensues as various factions vie for power, setting the stage for the rise of William Wallace. The narrative introduces the struggles faced by the Scots under English rule and hints at Wallace's eventual emergence as a symbol of resistance. This portion primes the reader for an exploration of Wallace's early life, motivations, and the socio-political challenges he faced, all essential to understanding his role in Scotland's quest for independence.
