About this book:
The death of the last member of the Scottish royal House of Canmore in 1290 triggered a succession crisis. Attempts to undermine Scottish independence by King Edward I of England provoked open rebellion, culminating in an English defeat at the hands of William Wallace at Stirling Bridge in 1297. Edward assembled an army, marched north, and at Falkirk on 22 July 1298 led Wallace's army into battle. Amid accusations of treason, Wallace's lancers were massacred by Edward's longbowmen, then charged by English cavalry and nearly annihilated. In 1305, Wallace was captured and executed, but the flame of rebellion he had lit could not be extinguished.
The authors:
Peter Armstrong was educated at Keswick School in Cumbria, after which he spent some time abroad and at sea before graduating with a degree in Fine Art. At Maidstone College of Art, he worked during the 1970s as an art teacher at a secondary school in Cumbria, during which time his fascination with military history and model-making led him to produce his first model soldier. More followed, and eventually a small-scale production line was set up to meet the growing demand. This led to Pete being able to leave full-time teaching in the early 1980s to develop his sideline of embryonic model-making into a full-time business. Pete is the sculptor behind Border Miniatures, and his books are the fruit of his many years of modeling experience and research.
Angus McBride was one of the world's most respected historical illustrators, contributing to more than 90 Osprey titles over three decades. Born in 1931 to Highland parents but orphaned as a child, he was educated at Canterbury Cathedral Choir School. He worked in advertising agencies from 1947 and, after national service, emigrated to South Africa, where he lived for several years before moving to Ireland. Angus sadly passed away in 2007.
