Stirling Bridge is a haunting memory for King Edward. When Scottish rebels threaten his northern borders the king acts swiftly to quash it. William Wallace remains a threat and hiding across the seas he sends his hunter to fetch him back. Sir Gerald Warbow is no longer a young man and his frame is not that of a young archer but he is the most trusted of King Edward’s men and he is sent to France to bring back the rebel who has defied him.
The story is set around the hunting of William Wallace. As he disappeared for some years after the Battle of Falkirk, this gave me a great deal of scope to use my imagination. As usual, I did so against the reality of life in 14th Century Europe.
