Medieval History
William Wallace was no more than a "co-leader" in events which sparked a Scottish uprising against Edward I in 1297, a historian has claimed.
Professor Dauvit Broun argues that the killing of the Sheriff of Lanark was as much down to a knight called Richard of Lundie, as it was by Wallace.
He said Wallace's status was cemented by others' death, capture or surrender.
The University of Glasgow academic's claims appear in an article published on the website Breaking of Britain.
