	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.
		Wallace’s (and Bruce’s) contribution to this was that by fighting to establish Scotland’s distinct identity more than five centuries earlier, they had laid the grounds for a later partnership of equals.
		A reading of Wallace that seeks in him not just nationalist passion, but a sophisticated awareness that national independence must be built on a foundation of economic prosperity, finds in the “Lübeck letter” a potent resource (it was deposited for safety in the vaults during the second-world-war bombardments that incinerated its Hamburg equivalent).
