William Wallace was well-educated, handsome, and possessed a strong sense of justice and freedom. He was naturally a leader. When he was still a child, his father was killed by the English. This tragedy strengthened his convictions and deepened his hatred for the English. Whenever he had the chance, he fought against the English and was branded a rebel. With each victory, Wallace gained people's admiration and became the leader of the Scottish army. His victories made him famous, and to this day, he is still considered one of Scotland's greatest heroes.
