Re: Scotland in Fiction.

I would actually like to see someone tackle a more historically accurate William Wallace that actually includes Andrew de Moray. There's very little known about either of them in the actual written record but it's ripe for some historical fiction bromance if you so desire.

Andrew de Moray is quite an interesting figure by himself because he escaped captivity in England and returned to north east Scotland to fuck shit up while his father remained in the Tower of London. Then he joined forces with Wallace. Had Moray not died after Stirling Bridge, who knows how things would've turned out? It's certainly implied he had more clout with the Scottish nobility and was perhaps the brains of the outfit more so than Wallace.

John de Graham was equally ignored by said Australian fuckwit iirc. There are so many Wallace allies who died for that cause that THAT film barely touches.
