There are few figures in history who have individually exercised so great an influence upon events as William Wallace and Robert Bruce. It was to the extraordinary personal courage, indomitable persevereance, and immnense energy of these two men that Scotland owed her freedom from English domination. So surprising were the traditions of these feats performed by these heroues that it was at one time the fashion to treat them as belonging as purely to legend as the feats of St. George or King Arthur. Careful investigation has shown that so far from this being the case, almost every deed reported to have been performed by them is verified by contemporary historians. Throughout the story, therefore, where in it at all relates to Wallace, Bruce, and other historical characters, the circumstances and events can be relied upon as strictly accurate, save only in the earlier events of the careeer of Wallace, of which details that have come down to use are somewhat conflicting, although the main features are now settled past question.
