Little has survived or is known academically about William Wallace, Scotland’s greatest patriot and arguably most famous Scot. Many books have been written about the exploits of Wallace though very little actual “Proof” exists. There is one source that has never been examined nor been publicly accessible before now and that is the personal family legend and account of William Wallace passed faithfully and unbroken down the bloodline family in since 1300
The legend of William Wallace is now being passed to this generation from the Wallace family Seanachaidh (Family Historian and Storyteller) Seoras Wallace. For the first time in seven hundred years, this vitally important segment of cultural history will be written in a series of fictional novels for those who have an interest in the Wallace `Legend' giving a whole new and unique insight and thought-provoking account, never before available to anyone outside the family
This compelling and intimate family legend offers a radically different account from all others who have attempted to guess the thread-lines to this often tragic but inspirational human story. A story not just of William Wallace, but also many other families groups and individuals who’s fame, valour or infamy have been lost in the mists of time, including tales of his tragic loves, Affric ua Bruin the Ceardannan woodland princess. Maid Marion Braidfuite, Bernice of Navarre and his family, all murdered by the English who sought to destroy the family Wallace. As his influence grew It also tells of his brother bond with Andrew de Moray, Stephen ua MacH'Alpine and his volatile relationship with Robert de Bruce, future King of Scots
The legend begins in 1286 with the assassination of King (Glorious) Alexander Canmore III. Wallace as a youth, witnesses Scotland’s disintegration into a vicious civil war then invasion by a foreign English army who enforce harsh laws and brutal punishments, completely at odds with his beliefs in the ancient Brethaihm laws of his forefathers.
Duplicitous nobles and International Political and religious intrigue propel Wallace from the innocence of youth to outlaw, Brigand chief, Anti-hero, Patriot, Guardian, Fugitive, Corsair, Statesman and how Wallace thwarted the “Great Cause” of Edward Plantagenet “Longshanks” Magnate supreme of the Northern Brotherhood of Kings, who’s plan to destroy the Catholic faith of Pope Boniface VIII and create a new Christian empire from Scotland to Constantinople and everything North of the Pyrenees.

The legend tells of the determination of Wallace and his followers living in a peripheral realm on the edge of Europe and how they fought and died inspiring Robert the Bruce to continue the struggle for freedom
