Short Range: A sword isn't going to be the most affective when fighting a Knight, Wallace would have worn Chainmail and Plate armour and ofcourse a thick cloth gambison. The Warhammer was made for smashing through heavy armour, Ragnars chainmail would be destroyed. EDGE: Wallace

Mid Range: This is kind of a reverse to the short range, The Claymore wasn't made for cutting through anytype of armour, As when it was used (17th century) armour would maybe have been just a breastplate and helmet. Whereas the Axe can actually go through the heavy armour of William Wallace and do alot of damage. EDGE: Ragnar

Long Range: Obvious choice is the Javaline, It can also be used as a small spear wheras the Ball and Chain was heavy, Inacurate and stupid, It would be devistating if it was acurate and usable though. EDGE: Ragnar

Special: Kind of hard to decide, William would have to use another weapon with the Targe, And the only weapon he could use it with is his Hammer. But the axe would also be devistating if it could hit Wallace. I give the edge to Wallace because he can block the hits easier, While Ragnar can block the hammer it would be much harder. EDGE: Wallace

I think Wallace would win, He was a trained knight who had fought many battles, He was also an Archer in the English Army, And so I would guess he would be much stronger than most Vikings due to the amount of power it took to shoot a Longbow. He would be more skilled with weapons, Ragnar was a raider, He raided and killed civillians and town gaurds. Wallace also has the superior armour.

Also just a note: The only weapon William Wallace might have actually used is the War Hammer. The Ball and Chain from what I understand was never actually a weapon, The Claymore was a 17th/16th century Weapon, The Targe was also a 16th/17th/18th Century shield. William Wallace probably either used a large long sword or a short sword with a shield. If it ever came to him fighting long range, He would have a Bow and arrow considering he was an Archer in the English Army.
