		Harry claimed that his source was the book written in Latin by John Blair, Wallace's personal chaplain, at the behest of Bishop William Sinclair of Dunkeld (1309-1337) who intended to send it to the Pope.

		If Blind Harry were the only source for Wallace, and his text, like Blair's, had disappeared, he and his hero would no doubt be dismissed by academia as mere figments of anglophobic fantasy.
