William Sadler II (c.1782-1839) INCIDENTS IN THE LIFE OF SIR W. WALLACE (A PAIR) oil on panel; (2) inscribed with title and "[painted by Sadler]" on reverse of one of the pair; also indistinctly inscribed on label on frame verso 6 x 5in. (15.24 x 12.70cm) Collection of George and Maura McClelland In their original early 19th century frames. Sir William Wallace (Gaelic: Uilleam Uallas; Norman French: William le Waleys;(died 23 August 1305) was a Scottish knight who became one of the main leaders during the Wars of Scottish Independence. Along with Andrew Moray, Wallace defeated an English army at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in September 1297. He was appointed Guardian of Scotland and served until his defeat at the Battle of Falkirk in July 1298. In August 1305, Wallace was captured in Robroyston, near Glasgow, and handed over to King Edward I of England, who had him hanged, drawn, and quartered for high treason and crimes against English civilians. Since his death, Wallace has obtained an iconic status far beyond his homeland. He is the protagonist of Blind Harry's 15th-century epic poem The Wallace and the subject of literary works by Sir Walter Scott and Jane Porter, and of the Academy Award-winning film Braveheart (1995).
