Decades later William would return to Scotland, seeking to live as a simple farmer.

Crushing the English at Stirling, and later sacking York, Wallace would lead prove himself a severe enemy to the English.

Wallace would be taken to London, where he would be torturously executed. However, up until the end, Wallace would remain defiant, up until they cut his head from his shoulders.
