Just as Wallace led the troops against the British, another uprising broke out at the same time, which was led by Mullah Andrew. This chaotic situation in Scotland is mainly due to the fact that john barry Ou, the former king of Scotland, ceded the sovereignty of Scotland to England. In order to stabilize his rule, King Edward I of England of England adopted a high-handed policy and extorted money from Scotland, which eventually led to the resistance of the Scots. The rise of these uprisings not only inspired ordinary Scots, but also got the support of Scottish nobles. They also wanted to get rid of the oppression of England as soon as possible, so they wooed the Scottish rebels and formed a Scottish anti-British alliance with nobles as the core. .
However, the good times did not last long. 1July 297, the Scottish nobles surrendered to the English for their own interests and the alliance disintegrated. Wallace and Andrew Mullah began to control the divided rebels, and finally regrouped them into an independent anti-British army.
After that, the rebel company won several major victories. In the First World War in Stebbing, they won an incredible victory with the British army, which was almost completely annihilated, and became famous from then on. However, in the battle, Andrew Mullah died unfortunately, and Wallace lost an irreplaceable good partner. From then on, he began to command the army alone.
Wallace's behavior once again attracted the attention of wavering Scottish nobles, who awarded him a knighthood. Thus, Wallace's position in the eyes of the Scottish people at that time, including nobles, and their desire for freedom in Scotland.
Although Wallace is ambitious to fight for the freedom of Scotland, the British army is far stronger than them. 1298 In the Battle of Franklin, the Scottish Rebels were completely annihilated, and Wallace escaped alone. After that, until 1304 was captured, few people knew the whereabouts of Wallace. Some people say that he organized some guerrilla warfare in northern England, while others say that he sought assistance from the Pope in Norway, France and even continental Europe. Inferred from a letter that Philip IV wrote to Rome mentioning Wallace, Wallace did visit Rome around 1300.
Sporadic guerrilla warfare continued until 1303. At that time, people didn't know whether it was really Wallace's doing, but because Edward I of England was angered by these attacks and threatened to take Wallace alive, Wallace became famous again and became a legendary hero in the hearts of the Scottish people.
According to legend, Wallace was betrayed and arrested by a Scottish traitor. Immediately after his arrest, he was taken to London and executed on 23 August 1304. At that time, British politicians promoted Wallace as a vicious gangster who was cruel, sinful and indiscriminate, so on the day when he served his sentence, people kept throwing rotten food at him and shouting to hang him. After a short trial, Wallace was convicted of murder and treason and executed. His body was divided into four parts and sent to four places in England and Scotland. His head was hung on London Bridge to warn those who tried to resist.
Wallace pursued freedom all his life and died at the age of 32.

Wallace's Scottish King Roibert Briuis. A conspiracy to betray william wallace
Nature is a fictional film. Roibert Briuis in history is a true Scottish national hero. In the era of King Edward I of England of England, Scotland faced the fate of assimilation and annexation. It was Roibert Briuis who led the Scots into a small-scale conflict with England and won a key victory in the Battle of Bannockburn. He was brave in the war and often rode horses to fight the enemy. In the Battle of Bannockburn, he just rushed to the front and killed the enemy with an axe.
There was a legend that after Roibert Briuis's death, a knight who followed him for many years wanted to take his heart to the holy land for burial. When he arrived in Spain, just in time for foreigners to invade the local Catholics, he bravely joined the battle, carrying Roibert Briuis's words: Brave heart, take me with you and drive away the pagans. He rushed to the front line of the battle, and when the battle was about to win, he still fell with that heart. Later, many poets recited this legend, and the title of the poem was Brave Heart.
