in 1298, William Wallace was watching and waiting as Edward I of England brought his army into Scotland on a mission to finally rid himself of Wallace
on the 22nd of July 1298, they would clash at falkirk
as Edwards army approached from the east, Wallace and his inner circle gathered atop What is now known as Wallacestone to view the army
according to records Edward noticed the glint of sun off armour and sent a detachment of Calvary knights to deal with it ...once they reached the top of the hill they discovered Wallace had returned to his army and were preparing for battle
it is not known why Wallace decided to fight that day, but the result would be catastrophic for his cause ...in defeat, he would resign as Guardian and opt to fight a more political battle to gain Scotlands sovereignty
