 Stirling
Bridge and Falkirk 1297-98: William Wallace's Rebellion (Osprey
Campaign S.)
The death of King Alexander III of Scotland and his only direct
descendant Margaret, Maid of Norway, triggered a succession
crisis in Scotland. King Edward I of England was asked to arbitrate.
This work covers how Edward's attempts to undermine Scottish
independence led to Scottish unrest. In May 1297 William Wallace
murdered the Sheriff of Lanark, sparking open revolt. Defeating
the English at Stirling Bridge, Wallace led his men into battle
with the returned Edward I at Falkirk on 22 July 1298. Amid
accusations of treachery, Wallace's spearmen were practically
annihilated, leading to Wallace's execution and a re-establishment
of Scottish control by Edward and his men. Stirling,
