	Scotland's Past - William I 'The Lion'
		In 1201 William held an assembly at Musselburgh to ensure the smooth transition of the crown to his son, he must have felt insecure about the succession as he also extracted promises from the leading barons at his deathbed.
		Under William the north was finally brought under royal control, he subdued Easter Ross in 1179 and built castles at Redcastle on the Black Isle and Dunskeath on the Cromarty Firth.
		The King and Pope had been in dispute between 1178 and 1182 when Scotland was briefly put under an interdict over the appointment of the Bishop of St Andrews, but it was also during William's reign that the Pope declared Scotland to be under his jurisdiction and not that of the English church.

	William "the Lion" of Scotland
		William, King of Scotland, was surnamed "The Lion" due to the rampant (standing on hind legs) red lion on a yellow field, which he had as his standard.
		William was outnumbered by the English garrison and even worse, a relief force of English soldiers under Ralf de Glanvil was approaching from the south.
		Scotland was nearly bankrupt from 15 years of taxation and William's repurchase of his own land and castles must have been another particularly nasty pill to ingest.

	William Wallace and reinventing Scotland David Hayes - openDemocracy (Site not responding. Last check: )
		William Wallace was born around 1270, either in Ayrshire or Renfrewshire in western lowland Scotland, and achieved his esteem and notoriety through years of relentless, unbending struggle against the English monarchy’s claim to rule Scotland.
		Scotland was, like every nation on the planet, once the centre of its people’s universe; now, in an age of globalisation and shifting identities, it is just another country, even if for its people the most immediate and important.
		The horizons of the new Scotland, amidst a constitutional settlement that may be uncompleted, seem in these years to be both shrinking and expanding: another way of saying that the Scots are still inside their history.
