One, the hated English taxman Cressingham, was skinned, his fat body made into a belt for Wallace' s victorious sword. And yet, as so often in Scottish history, defeat quickly followed victory down the Forth at Falkirk. Wallace' s warriors died by the thousands. They fell like blossoms in an orchard when the fruit has ripened. Bodies covered the ground as thickly as snow in winter. Wallace himself managed to escape the slaughter, only to be captured years later, betrayed by a Scotsman, possibly even the Bruce himself. |
