This 1902 illustration shows Wallace taken to London in Chains. Sir William Wallace promoted active resistance to the rule of King Edward I in Scotland after Edward forced the abdication and usurpation of the crown of John Balliol. Following defeat at the Battle of Falkirk on July 22, 1298, Wallace went to France where he attempted to gain French support for rebellion in Scotland but the effort proved ultimately futile and Wallace, back in Britain but refusing to submit to English rule, remained on the run. He was captured on August 5, 1305, by Sir John Monteith near Glasgow. Taken to Carlisle, he was bound hand and foot before being taken south to London in chains. Condemned as guilty, he was taken to the Tower of London and then hanged on a gallows.
