From the Paper:

"An Autobiography of William Wallace I, William Wallace, was born in January 1272 in Elderslie, Scotland. My father, Sir Malcolm Wallace, was a landowner of Welsh descent and a proud knight. My oldest brother, Malcolm, inherits the family title and lands. My mother educated me at home until I was sixteen years of age. My uncle took me to Cambuskenneth Abbey at Dunipace, in east Stirlingshire to continue my education including teaching the languages of French, Gaelic, and Latin. It is funny to me that people believe I am a big man over 9 feet tall, but the truth is that I stood 6 foot 7 inches tall. As I write my autobiography, I reflect how the teachings of liberty and independence will influence me for the rest of my life including my role in the fight for Scotland's freedom and eventually it will cause me to die as a traitor to England."
