William Wallace (Braveheart)

While he was growing up, nobody expected young William Wallace, who was born in Scotland, to become a hero. However, as he learnt more about his country, he wanted to fight to help his people to be free. At that time king Edward of England wanted to be the king of Scotland, so he used to pay a lot of money to Scottish lords so that their people wouldn't fight against him. Whenever they refused to take the money, because they wanted to fight the English, king Edward's army killed them. Sadly, William's father was one of the men they killed, and this fact made William more determined to fight for his country.

William gathered an army of men to fight the English. He told them: "Every man dies, but not every man truly lives.'' These words gave his army courage. William's army fought many battles, like the famous Battle of Stirling Bridge on 11th of September 1297, where they killed 5,000 English solders. But in 1304, the English won the long fight and ruled Scotland. The next year they caught William, killed him and put his head on a pole beside London Bridge to remind people how dangerous to fight the English.
